LOTR Tops Moviefone’s Movies of the Decade [Dec 9, 2009 | 11:35pm] theonering_net http://www.theonering.net/torwp/2009/12/09/34588-lotr-tops-moviefones-movies-of-the-decade/ http://www.theonering.net/torwp/?p=34588 If instead of having 10 Best Picture nominees for 2009, the folks running the Oscars had decided to do a Ten Best list for the decade about to end, I doubt that many ‘09 movies would be on it. And last year didn’t offer many legitimate contenders, either. It’s not just the economy that’s been [...] post comment

[Dec 9, 2009 | 1:07pm] makesomelove [ mood | lethargic ] The other day sarahsaloser and I were Applebee's-status, and they're obvi playing Christmas music, so the classic Christmas song 'Winter Wonderland' came on. I was like, "I love when men sing this song!" Because for ALL MY LIFE, I thought the lines IN THE MEADOW WE CAN BUILD A SNOWMAN / AND PRETEND THAT HE IS PARSON BROWN / HE'LL SAY ARE YOU MARRIED WE'LL SAY NO MAN / BUT YOU CAN DO THE JOB WHEN YOU'RE IN TOWN were about some people building a snowman and pretending the snowman was alive and they were the snowman's mistresses/boy toyz. Like, you can do the job when you're in town, get it? In addition to that, I thought Parson was some sort of old-timey first name for boys. Who knew? Sarah knew, and she educated/laughed at me. Thanks 4 all the free snowflake cookies, everyone. They have made me feel more Christmassy. I realized the other day that while I've been shopping like cRaZy and helping my dad decorate the house, I am not actually in the Christmas spirit at all, but merely going through the motions of what I believe the Christmas spirit to be (gifts and beautification). It feels weird not to be buying my mom some earrings or something. My mom made Christmas happen, you know what I mean? I'm bout to be drunk until 2010. Drunk on snowflake cookies and Long Island Iced Teaz. Something else: my friend with the baby has decided the thing they're going to force their baby to love in order to shape her personality (OR WHATEVER, I DON'T KNOW HOW PARENTS DECIDE THESE THINGS) is Tinkerbell. I will never be able to stop noticing Tinkerbell everything until that baby yells at me to stop buying me Tinkerbell things, Auntie B, I'm an adult. I HAVE BECOME CRAZY AUNTIE B :( The good news is, I bought ( this dress ) 12 comments|post comment

Camelot Solstice [Dec 8, 2009 | 8:04pm] slightlytookish [ mood | excited ] Eeee, my gift was posted to camelotsolstice tonight! I had an awful, exhausting, and headachy day today capped by an excessively long commute home, so finding this tonight was a lovely surprise :) It's Merlin/Morgana friendship or pre-ship (depending on how you read it) and it's a really beautiful AU of what might've been if the aftermath of episode 2x03 had gone differently. I really enjoyed it and have no idea who wrote it - I'm terrible at trying to recognize writing styles but if you happen to be reading this dear anonymous writer - thank you! :) Here is the link - I definitely recommend reading it!
