*whistles*

I dooon't... have anything to saaaay...


It's cold like Minnesota here... 20 degrees, what? Snow on Saturday! Huzzah!

Today at Costco we found Doctor Who. For $12.99. Okay, half a season for $12.99. BUT STILL. So we came home with seasons six and seven. Which makes me happy. Even happier because the last time we were at Costco, they were selling an individual season of Doctor Who for $60, and we got the same individual season for $26.
If you wait long enough, Costco will eventually have AMAZING prices on Doctor Who. Last spring we found seasons 1-4 for $20 each.




The Seahawks won the Superbowl. That's exciting. I didn't watch the game... but after it was over, I went outside and people were setting off fireworks one street over. Our neighbors were cheering loudly. People one street over were yelling "WOOOOOOOOOO SEAHAWKS! GOOOO! YEEAAAAAHHH!!! WOOOO!" at the top of their lungs.
While part of me says, "Man, it's just football," the other part of me is enjoying watching how crazy everyone is over this. Over 700,000 people packed into Seattle today for a special Seahawks parade and rally. It's hard to imagine what 700,000 people looks like... but you know what? Everyone was peaceful! Isn't that amazing? 700,000 people and there was no major damage done!





Did you know that this guy:

from The Hobbit is actually called Lindir?


Elladan and Elrohir are missed. (Elrohir is such a cool name too!)
Lindir is also this guy from the Lord of the Rings, who interrupted Arwen's vision-thing of her son with Aragorn. "You never told me there was a son!"




He's ALSO the guy who wrote this song for the latest Muppet movie:


Am I a man or a Muppet?
At least Lindir doesn't have freaky elf-eyes like the Royal Elves.

 
 Yup, can you say creepy? Thranduil's worse, though.






I've been reading lots of fantasy lately. I think it's because my new story is fantasyish.


I spy Lord of the Rings, To Kill a Mockingbird, and Alice in Wonderland. Also, Eclipse from the Twilight saga, but who cares about that?

Anyway, it's about time for me to go to bed and I've run out of things to ramble about so goodnight!

  1. 20 degrees is like spring! It's been below zero pretty much all week for me. Brrrrrrrrr........

    Wow, that's a great price for Doctor Who! And the picture of Legolas's eyes, that's hilarious! They were kind of creepy. :)
