Ick. What a nasty cold I have. I've been sneezing, sniffling and coughing nonstop these last couple of days. Goes without saying that singing was out of the question, not to mention going out of my house. I have been to RotK for the third time last Friday with a friend, but I didn't go out of my house much more than that.

Ah, RotK. Viggo's voice is still annoying, Legolas is still extremely pretty. Faramir is utterly cute, and terribly terribly sexy when he's oiled and unconscious. Hee. My increasingly two favourite scenes are Legolas and Aragorn's conversation the night Pippin looks at the palantir, and Gandalf's riding to defend the Gondorean guard, chasing the Nazgul away with his luminous staff. So beautiful. What totally wrenched my heart away this time around was the music. Oh my god, I thought it couldn't get any better, but Howard Shore just keeps, well, trascending to other levels with his musical interpretation. It's amazing to hear. IMHO, one of the main reasons everyone is so raving about this movie is the music. It just gives such depth, such another lively dimention to the plot and characters and atmosphere, it's unbelievable. Not to say, perchance, that the soundtracks for FotR and TTT weren't masterpieces all by themselves, but rather that this time around Shore hits the target so precisely, it's breathtaking to hear and see.

Also, Eomer is ugly.

Been toying with the evaluation version of Paint Shop Pro 8, and Jasc's Animation Shop. What a couple of nifty softwares! Much nicer to deal with than Photoshop IMO. Am making myself a new mood theme because it fun and I'm sick so I'm bored. It's comprised of the Harry Potter, LotR, PotC movies, also the LotR cast, Linkin Park, Jason Isaacs(duh), Orlando Bloom (DUH) and Alan Rickman (DUHDUH). Also there's one theme only avadriel will get, but nevermind. ;) What's scary is that out of the 130 images I needed for the mood themes, at least 80 suitable ones were taken from my own selection of photos. Very scary indeed. Hm.
