I have no more genius ideas for song theme blobby things, and it's the middle of the holidays so nothing interesting enough is happening in my life to make it worth blogging without music. Today I had the option of going to look at fire surrounds with my mum and my grandad, but tragically I couldn't get dressed quickly enough to go out with them. So basically I'm going to sit around the house playing on the computer and eating, HOWEVER luckily I have reached the point in my holiday where I start re-reading Lord of the Rings so that should keep me occupied for a bit. I will do a sort of 'soundtrack to my day' thingy for a bit, so here is today's
Lord of the Rings symphony (ignore the talking bits. Well watch them if you want, I'm not stopping you, but they aren't part of the soundtrack of my day, as it were). Feel free to browse back through my blog as you listen to all 50 minutes of it. I expect nothing less from you. Or you could buy me stuff from my NEWLY CREATED Amazon wish list (Ruth Bradley's wishlist of extreme awesomness). More of that later.
I'm just starting the second book at the moment. If you've seen the film you'll remember the bit where Aragorn, Legolas and Gimli are searching for Merry and Pippin, and they find the Orcs killed by the Rohirrim beside Fangorn, and then Aragorn kicks the helmet down the hill and screams? Well I'm at that bit. But in the book. Did you know that when they filmed that shot, in the take used in the film Viggo Mortenson actually broke his foot. I may have watched the commentaries too many times. I have watched the extras a lot of times too. In fact, when I was about nine they got confiscated by my parents because me and my brother watched them every day. I surmise that we were very cool kids. The books are mind blowingly good, but they do take quite a long time to read. So I will allow you to call yourself a fan even if you've just watched the films.
So what else have I done today? Well I made myself the aforementioned (my ICT student teacher didn't believe that 'aforementioned' was a real word when I used it in my coursework. She made me change it. What an ignorant fool. This is the quality of teaching staff these days, they can be easily outsmarted by stuck up 15 year olds.) Amazon wish list, which made me feel quite old, (less than 8 months to my birthday guys!) but then I realized the number of kids films it had on it and felt young again.
I also invented a new word- with Emilie's help- which is 'Chiluba'. We discovered it at the same time that we discovered that I can type with my eyes closed and she can't. We don't know what it means yet though, any suggestions will be helpful...
