I've decided that line needs to be said during a game at some point in my life. I managed to work in "They have a cave troll." already. This is my new mission. Yes, the Action Channel is playing Fellowship now...doom!
Oooh, LOTR action figure news!
http://www.action-figure.com/Article10689.html
A few highlights:
For
tersa- Superposeable Boromir
Boromir with Battle Attack Action
Boromir in Armor with Cloven Horn of Gondor
For
aelfsciene- Pippin in Armor with Removable Helmet & Sword; sword slashing action
Merry in Rohan Armor with Sword Slashing Action
And of course for me- Superposeable Frodo
Mount Doom Frodo
Gorbag with Webbed Frodo Accessory
Mmm, webbed Frodo accessory.
Oh, and
tersa, this should make you squee:

And crap, looks like I need that National Geographic ROTK Behind the Scenes Special after all.
Anyway, nice quiet but productive evening last night. I got all the little tasks done that I set for myself, including going through "Tic, Tic" and "Princess of Cairo" to refresh my memory of the two choreographies. Also laundry, sweeping, vaccuuming, sorting through a pile of paperwork that needed sorting, and general tidying up. Done, done, done.
As I was all alone for most of the evening I put the "Cabaret" soundtrack on and sang along (badly) while imagining Alan in full Nightcrawler regalia as he sang "Wilkommen". Yes, I am an odd woman.
Got everything finished and ate some dinner by 7, which was when Fellowship came on and I curled up with my sketchpad to work on my drawing. Got a bit more detail work done, but there's still plenty to do. Will I finish it before my patience runs out? We shall see.
Then I managed to get to bed by 10 (go me!) and to sleep before midnight for a change. Mmm, sleep. Was again awakened at a little after 5 by Pye scratching at the door for the better part of a half an hour. Finally got up and flung it wide open so he'd give me some peace. Must purchase a squirt gun, absolutely must.
Oh and did I mention I got tapped to do customer service yesterday? Frantic parental unit on the phone, our site broke their computer. Right. Finally talked him down and found a simple solution to the problem. He blessed me repeatedly and I was able to get back to my real work. Honestly, people, if you're going to use a computer, particularly for your work, figure out how to actually use it. It's really not that difficult. [/rant]

Also, I am looking to work into my daily life the line "Show us the meaning of haste." Perhaps I shall use it on my minion one of these days. Muahahaha.
