kiralamouseI am not dead yet
I can dance and I can sing
I am not dead yet
I can do the Highland Fling... - Not Dead Fred, Spamalot
Three statements above are not quite true. Hint: I'm still coughing a bit much to talk or exert myself very much, and I have no idea what the Highland Fling is, but... hey!
Currently watching the second half of ROTK with actor commentary. The hobbits remain my favorites. Dom Monaghan and Billy Boyd are awesome. The older actors almost uniformly resemble the sort of thing you see on parodies of actors discussing their work. Okay, the hobbits do, too, but when Dom says "Orlando actually practiced for [the Oliphaunt-jungle-gym slaying] scene by climbing on animals. We'd go out, he'd climb on dogs... cows... ponies..." and Billy chimes in, "But first he had to practice on smaller animals - gerbils, hamsters.." "Remember he got bit by that rat?! Right on his -" "Yeah! And he couldn't go out for days!"
Well, when that happens, you realize the parody is intentional. Poor Orlando's comment about having a discussion with his digital double about his motivation just stands no chance after a performance like that.
Why, yes, I have been bored out of my mind this week. How can you tell? At least, I should have been bored. In practice, I didn't have enough energy to be bored.
Now I need someone to explain why my Firefox - but only the Firefox on this computer, mind you - always malfunctions badly when it hits my update page (but no other). And I need someone to create a voice synthesizer thingy so I don't have to start choking after a paragraph of speech. And I need a Faramir who doesn't go for that tramp Eowyn, or a Darcy sans Elizabeth, or a plague on all stealers-of-awesome-men whose names start with the letter E. Possibly the plague I'm just recovering from.
