windemereI'm not sure how I got behind, I just know I am. I also not sure how to correct this.
The quality of my day seems to have become directly proportional to how bad the picture is on my day calender. For instance, Tuesday the 17th was the picture of Aragorn lying dead on his tomb and Arwen weeping. My day sucked. Tomorrow is Gimli...I'm not holding out hope.
I am in the middle of a project, and now have two others that have just been landed on me as well. And those 4 mid-terms before reading week. 4 more weeks to go, 2 presentations, 4 midterms, and the research for a 15 page paper. And daily work, of course. You know, missing the entire first week of school has really screwed me up. I was not aware just how much.
To make myself feel better I'm watching LOTR EEs and skipping the scenes I hate. Suprisingly, there aren't that many; just ones involving only orcs, or Saruman, or a few Frodo/Sam/Gollum ones. At least until ROTK, and then I'll end up skipping half of them. Do I care about two hobbits walking through Mordor?
Oh, Theodred's funeral. ::scampers::
Anyways. I keep meaning to search for Eowyn's dirge, and then I forget. And I also keep forgetting to tally just how many times they say HOPE in these movies. Because I'm pretty sure it's the most overused word heard. ::sighs:: I wonder how much of it was done on purpose? But honestly, sometimes it's just painful.
Oh shut up Theoden, he's not inpinging on your bloody throne. Get over it. He's got his own to worry about.
And did you know/can you tell me:
Besides Arwen muttering a line in Elvish, Legolas is the first one to call him Aragorn at the Council? When everyone else (and I mean Boromir & Frodo) finds out the truth.
Only once does Aragorn use the battle-cry 'Elendil'.
Only once is he ever referred to as the Heir of Numenor, as opposed to Heir of Elendil, Isildur, Gonder, Men, etc.
Why does Eowyn change into a white dress after Theodred dies, and then changes back to dark green? Is white a mourning colour of Rohan?
And by "I was raised in Rivendell, for a time", is the 'for a time' part implying the two years he wasn't raised in Rivendell? Because by twenty, I think he was already 'raised', as it were. And is 18 years really 'a time', even for a Dunedain?
And how can Aragorn be the 'Lost King of Gondor'? I mean, Arnor didn't loose him, and it's Gondor's fault they turned the heirs of Isildur away. Does that qualify as 'loosing'?
You know, Eowyn would have been a much happier woman if she wasn't 23/4 and still a virgin.
There are some truely pointless lines in these movies.
Lastly:
I've seen them faaaaar too many times.
