I am in such a weird mood today. Wheee.

I have seen the Face of Evil, and it is Ralph Bashki's Lord of the Rings. Sweet Eru, I never thought it was possible to turn one of the most exciting stories in all literature into mind-numbing drivel, but the Great Bashki proved me wrong. I don't know which is more offensive, the appalling animation (why oh WHY did they have so much live action pretending to me animated? Whyyy?) or the fact that the wonderful Peter S. Beagle co-wrote the screenplay. How is it even possible that the author of the brilliant Last Unicorn can bring forth such garbage? (I really hope it wasn't him who told the voice actors to say 'MineASS Tirith'. *groan*)
I could list some of the atrocities in this spectacular waste of time (Men in mini-skirts! Boromir's supergay helmet and loincloth accessories! Gandalf touches the Ring! Ten minute fight sequences in slow motion! GIMLI IS AS TALL AS LEGOLAS! And of course, hideous hobbits!) but why even bother. I'll just say this: the Balrog = Mothra. Where's Gamura when you need him? ;-)

Rosh Hashanah was this weekend, so as an act of community service for all the shiksas and goyim out there, I'd like to present you with The Gentile's Guide to Jewish Holidays.

( It's all about the food, ladies and gentlemen )

Wasn't that fun kiddies? :)


In case anyone is wondering, work is going well, although it is occasionally tedious in the extreme. I did however meet a very nice girl (not on LJ, sadly) who has already emailed me and seems very amiable, so here's hoping that I might actually make a new friend! *small delighted squee*


I don't normally post these things, but I thought the results were rather amusing (and truthful), so if you like you can see my LJ Obsession Test. Yes, I am obsessed. And a big ol' Attention Whore. I'm not ashamed to admit it!
You still like me anyway, right? *giggles* ;-)

( Behold the obsession! )
