The last several days have been indeed busy for me. I shall post in sub-headings because I suck at connecting paragraphs, haha.

Exclusive screening of LOTR in blu-ray: A couple weeks back I had won two tickets to an exclusive screening of LOTR in blu-ray at Crown Casino. Apparently, the viewers and I were among the first 125 people in Australia to first see it in blu-ray, haha. It makes me feel slightly special. But anyway, the screening was of course amazing, however, there were these two girls who sat near me that kept talking! I wanted to go over to them and scratch their eyes out. Seriously.

While I did enjoy the film in blu-ray, I don't think I'll buy it. I feel the distributors are simply finding ways to milk money from the fans. If people were to buy this film, it will only mean they have a second copy of the original! Besides, LOTR has SO MANY editions of the film which I have simply lost count! First, there was the original release of the film, which is good. And the extended special release (in two versions: DVDs only, or DVDs and other gifts; I bought the latter for the entire trilogy), which was excellent because the extra content was incredibly comprehensive, and then were was the extended cut in two DVDs, which I did not bother with, and now blu-ray. I have a feeling the extended versions will be released in blu-ray too...

( It's longer than I thought... )

I suppose a public post is over due here. I did not want to let potential DW users to believe that this username has been squatted by some nasty person. I assure you, it is being used, and very much loved. To be honest, anything LOTR related is loved by me.

So why the lack of updates? Well for one, I am, and don't judge, a LiveJournal user. Yes. TRAITOR. No, I'm just more used to it over there than I am here. Secondly, I have an external blog at Novella, though admittedly updates there are too becoming rare and difficult to conjure. Thirdly, I am lazy.

But fear not, while I am suffering -- and quite severely -- from University work, I will try to update here. Perhaps with photos, poems, letters... I'm only kidding with the latter two. I have very little appreciation for poems, and letters, well... not that either.

All in all, expect updates is all I'm saying.

PS. I just realised mood themes work here without extra cost, and I get 15 icons! This place is win already.
