Dribble TV
For the three of you out there who don't know, I'm 6' 7" (almost exactly 2 meters) tall. And I don't play basketball. Hate it, actually (this may have something to do with the fact that people have been asking me since the age of about 10 if I play basketball, which, really, gets almost as old as the "Hey, you're tall!" line because, clearly, I ( Read more... ) -
Normal, Crosses and Gatherings

Sunday night at our house
This is what we watched tonight instead of the Oscars:
(Born of Hope, which tells of the birth of Aragorn)*
Which we found after I re-watched this...
(The Hunt for Gollum, which is a very good fan movie covering Aragorn's hunt for the little bugger)*

(Teeny) Con Update

Not looking like a bad con so far. :)
