Me and Michelle, at Andy's birthday dinner on Sunday.


SNOWED in Richmond Hill last night.

Allison, Jodi and I actually did have a music practice last night (rather than slacking off and seeing a movie like we did last week on impulse). We worked through a bunch of songs we are preparing for The Gathering of the Fellowship in December. All three of us are going to be in costume for that event, by the way; Allison and Jodi are even going to be wearing elf ears. No ears for me, though, uh-uh, no way.

I taught Allison and Jodi my new song, "The Question", a very fluffy piece about which guy in the LOTR movies is the most...er...appealing. We had way too much fun, and I never fail to be astounded and delighted by how quickly A & J learn new material. They also helped finetune the arrangement, and within an hour we had a rough version on tape. Here is an excerpt of the lyrics:

A: Wormtongue does annoy J: Well, what about Merry?
D: He's the sort who's needy
A: Theodon is too royal! J: Gimli's hairy
D: and too short! A: You're greedy!

A: You must admit that Saruman has bad boy allure
J: What about Frodo Baggins?
A: Too small, D: angst-ridden, A & D: way too pure!
J: Did you notice Eomer's scowl
A & D: Oh Eomer's scowl, oh yes we did
J & A & D (enthusiastically): Uh huh!

Going to see Kill Bill with Michelle and Ruth tonight. I forgot to mention that the best part of seeing the movie in Buffalo on the weekend was that I got to see the trailer for "Return of the King". So now I'm wondering whether the euphoria from seeing the trailer influenced my enjoyment of the movie.

Still can't figure out WHY I like the movie. It had way too much gratuitous violence, Monty Pythonesque over-the-top blood spewing, very little plot. But it had Lucy Liu, so I had to see it.

To those of you going to OVFF: Have fun! I'm jealous! It's the first OVFF I'm missing in many years.
