i saw troy

I just saw Troy with my sister. I wasn't going to see it, on account of having no alibi (what with the bizarre no-children rule -- I mean: it's so educational!) but a sister is as good an alibi as any so I went!

And I loved it!!

More anon.

belated happy mirkwood!

Oh, and a belated but very heartfelt and very happy birthday, dearest elfofmirkwood!!

Whoop those Iliad-snooties' asses, I say. :-)
