A Merry Hobbit day to you too...
6:30pm We're on our second (and last) break..have watched movies 1 and 2...the food has been really good, 5 courses so far...the audience is MEGA geeky - clapping when Legolas does cool stuff, clapping when Gimli does goofy stuff - enough clapping already! ha....I guess I'm not as Lord of the Ringy as everyone else here...Brian just won a door prize, some deck of cards...silly geeky deck of cards...they're giving out LOTR games and prizes...I'm playing with my chain maille bracelets and pretending lookin' really cool with my computer...My preferred way to geek out is to talk BEADS and maybe visit ITALY...
Uh oh, the lights are going down soon...gotta go...the deck of cards has been opened, I bet we lose some before we get home...see ya'll later, if I survive the geekdom...
Ha Ha...from my horoscope today: "Feeling like a stranger in a strange land? Take some time to observe the natives. Learn the customs and listen to how they speak, then try approaching someone. See? It's a pretty friendly place after all."
I'm buried here in the midst of the theater, GEEEEKS all around...wearing costumes, quoting lines, someone dressed as Sam was looking for Frodo a minute ago...its a riot!! I'm wearing both of my chainmaille bracelets as my 'mythril' armor and I did manage to remember to wear the One Ring around my neck, but if you saw me in the mall, you wouldn't think I'm 'dressed up' for the movie...but I know that I am...
We've had some apple juice and are going to be served breakfast (or is it Elevensies?) once everything gets going...I have no idea when I'll be able to check in again, but I'm gonna be here at LEAST 12 hours, so dear lord I hope I'm back on line between now and then...
What's even weirder is the past two nights we've been watching LOTR on TNT...its not like I needed a refresher or anything...it just plays so well in the background while making beads or playing with the dog...
I'll be drawing the Sunday Freebie winner some time today or possibly tomorrow...but I've already got new pics to post for next week's bead...
Well, I'm hungry, where's my nice crispy bacon???

Three rings for the Elven kings under the sky,
Seven for the Dwarf lords in their halls of stone
Nine for mortal men doomed to die,
One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne
in the land of Mordor where the shadows lie.
One ring to rule them all,
One ring to find them,
One ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them
In the land of mordor where the shadows lie.

My all time favorite movies! I LOVE LOTR! I'm not the type to dress up in public for a movie marathon, but I do LOVE the Eowyn costume I made for Halloween two years ago!
My favorite things about the movies? Well, that would have to be Aragorn. ;)
