like she said — status quo

Lets see… Peter Pan performed as a ballet on Friday, followed by some (NOT DEAD!!) ska at Saxophone…

Lazy saturday. Laundry, line, poker night.

Yeserday I finished The Return of the King and I hereby defy every one of you who questioned the validity of my thoughts and opinions related to the LOTR trillogy on a basis of the fact that I had not read the books. Having now read the books, I can say with great certainty that, although my understanding of the plot’s intricacies has been enhanced, my understanding of the themes and characters has not changed in the least.

Certainly I must admit that I’m very glad to have read the the books, but I’ll leave that matter here.

In other news, there’s not much other news. There’s still the unresolved question of how exactly (and when, exactly) I’m going to get back to the ‘states. But I’m not overly concerned by that.

There’s more flooding expected this week. The response of the locals is completely nonchallant. “Oh. Flooding. Sure, we’ve got some sandbags.”

And that’s about it. I’ll post when something interesting happens. Right about now, it’s time for some ice cream. =)
