Sparkly Green Nail Polish

I really love that Stephanie has awesome nail polish. On a whim, I painted my nails this crazy sparkly green color last night, and it just makes me smile when I see it. I wanted it to match my outfit last night, since I was having a icky day yesterday and felt the need to look very coordinated and "together" to make up for it.

Another small joy: I'm watching Lord of the Rings right now. The Two Towers, to be precise. And I can't pretend that I don't love it. Because I do. It brings back memories of my mostly-in-the-past geekdom. I never did learn elvish, but I knew those books inside and out. And I just recently bought a biography of J. R. R. Tolkien, one that I'd read once upon a long time ago. It was my favorite one. And yes, we'll just simply overlook the fact that I've read enough biographies of Tolkien to actually have a favorite.

Speaking of cars...

Oh right, no cars mentioned. Yet. Now there are. (I'm meta-writing, if you haven't noticed)

So speaking of cars,

Did you know that my roommate Stephanie can fit through the sunroof of a car? We tried that last night. (Random aside, did you ever wonder how on earth Gollum learned so much about the Last Battle of Men, Elves, and Orcs? He seems to know an eerie amount for a guy who's been living in a hole in the ground for the last 500 years...) Then we sat in the car and watched a movie because it was after curfew and we didn't want to end the party. Granted, my body hated me this morning for it.

Merry: "What happened to the Entwives?"
Treebeard: "We lost them."
Does that seem funny to anyone else?

And I'm rambling today. No deep thoughts coming out of this brain. I feel very much like the pre-solar-charged WallE. I'm functioning (barely) but it's not really accomplishing much.

Final thought: I can't help but laugh every time Legolas opens his mouth. His lines are just so ludicrous, and his acting is so bad. Just goes to show that even alleged "good looks" (a matter of opinion that I won't bother to debate here) can't save someone who has no personality. And it's a shame, because Legolas in the books was pretty darn awesome. End final thought.
