we just arrived in toulouse for a day off.
now i think i’ll try to sleep for a bit.
over the last 3 nights we’ve watched the lord of the rings trilogy.
when i was growing up i was obsessed with the lord of the rings, and i must’ve read the trilogy at least 4 or 5 times(i even made my own maps…).
my only two criticisms of the movies: they left out tom bombadill and they left out saruman/sharkey taking over the shire at the end. but i guess that in the interest of keeping the trilogy to a manageable 10 or 11 hours they had to lose a few things from the books…
so last night we were watching the end of the 3rd movie, the return of the king, and when it got to the very end i was getting kind of choked up(cos i’m a nerd)and then daron said, when frodo handed sam the book, ‘i’m going to l.a, sam, i’ve written a screenplay’. for some reason i just lost it and laughed until i was incapacitated.
you know that kind of laughing where you just can’t stop and tears are pouring down your face?
i believe that if i were to laugh that way every day i’d live to be 400 years old.
ok, now it’s time to go to sleep.
