Today is the day! I'm so excited! And I just can't hide it! I'm about to lose control, and I think I like it! I'm going to see Return of the King this afternoon!

This whole one movie per year thing was pure genius. Unlike some other crappy trilogies (cough...cough...star wars prequels...cough...cough) that are only coming out every 20 years, or so, these have just enough time between them for us to start getting anxious, looking forward to that day in December when the world just seems right. Yeah, I'm a big geek, I did, after all, buy the box-set versions of the dvd's, rather than just the simply, cheaper, extended versions. I paid a little extra and got that great gollum figurine. Ahem. Actually, the bookends that came with the first movie are really nice, and I do use them to hold my lord of the rings books / dvds, proudly displaying my disposable income.

I got into work early, okay, not so early for me, so I could get out in time to see the 3.45 showing! I'll be home in the mid-to-late evening the proud owner of new lord of the rings memories!
