Thank you May for the birthday wishes and sending me on a quest:
It's fun, really. And you can find the answers, I swear. If that whets your appetite (which it should) go get the book. It's highly recommended and reads quick! I even felt like I figured out things before the protagonist 
Great mystery. Read it!
What a way to spend a birthday. I mentioned yesterday how my uncle might not be able to use his front row tickets to the Lion King playing at the Fox. Well, the reason for that was because my uncle's father-in-law's daughter had a heart attack. She was only 46 and had no history of heart disease or the other risk factors. I came back to the lab after doing some running around for Luigi and had an odd message waiting for me...the woman had died, and my uncle was definitely not going to be able to use the tickets as they were heading down to be with the father-in-law's family. Now, it may sound callous, but I didn't know this person even though I've probably spent at least a few Christmases with her...Alas. My sincere sympathy and thanks that you died. Agh. Sounds horrible...but once I sat in the darkened theater waiting for the really cool opening curtain to go up, I had to thank God. Remember how I'd said just once I'd like to be able to go up to the front without having to fight for it? Well, here it was. We were front row slightly left of center, on the aisle...we literally got brushed by some elephants and wildebeest, and some bird puppets (I want one of those)...we were close enough to see the makeup and all the fine details. Wow. The opening Circle of Life sequence made me tear up. Seriously. What's funny is the Lion King cartoon was the only movie I ever cried at (when Mufasa died...:sad: ) and now the musical. It was just so magical and harmonious and they were right there. The songs were very well sung, and I loved the puppets. There was shadow play like traditional chinese theater shows, which delighted my mother (my dad elected not to try to go, as we only had two tickets and he would have had to sit in the way back for half the show). The puppets were amazing. Instead of covering up the actors' faces, they were headpieces or part of a costume so you could still see the expressions.
All the emotions of the movie were there, with that added kick that live shows get. I liked the new songs on the whole. The scenery was spare but gave the impression of the lush jungle with just a few well-placed props. Gorgeous lighting and special effects. A simulated drought,
(and now we pause for a random question. If drought sounds like 'drout,' why doesn't draught sound like 'draut?' Or trough 'trou?' That bothers me because I remember reading 'draught' when I was little and thinking of drought and going, oh yeah, I know how to say this. Now back to your regularly scheduled gushing post.)
There's much more where this came from...and birthday gifties!
rainstorms, nearly-nekkid guys playing grass...lol. Some great acrobatic dancing. We were seated near one of the two drummers situated on either side of the stage, so we really got the percussion...and we could practically see into the orchestra. Wonderful sound.
After we had found our seats this old couple came to sit in the row behind us, and the woman said, "Let me see if I can see...oh, this one's got a lot of hair..." I don't think she was talking to me as I believe she ended up sitting behind me, but I thought it was funny how she didn't seem to notice that everyone in front of her could hear her...
My mom said she didn't want the curtain to come down. And it's true. It was a spectacular show. There'll be one extra ticket if we give ours to my uncle, but my mom said that they hadn't even really wanted to see this show, so maybe the three of us family will see it. My dad doesn't think he'd want to see it, but I think he'd appreciate the production. Who knows.
Maybe we'll go to Macaroni Grill tonight, but late last night when we got home we had Strawberry Cream pie...oh, thank you Sara Lee
I have to remind my mother to give me that Legolas statuette that she bought me over the summer. lol. TTT and a statuette...what more could a girl ask for! Aside from a LotR-loving boyfriend, of course
If you get a chance to see the Lion King I highly recommend it. It's worth the money. Failing that, try the soundtrack and get a taste.
Thanks for all your birthday wishes! Look at these:
From Jem
and
From Kate.
Thanks! I wanna go home and watch TTT again 
Happy Birthday Etoiline From Wizards Quest
Lookie! My friends at the Wizard's Quest gave me some gifties Feel free to sign the birthday book!
Yes folks, it's true. I'll be 23 in a few hours. And wonder of all wonders, it rained a little today (isolated showers, of course...not on our house) so it's a tiny bit cooler. Still supposed to reach the upper 90s later in the day.
Yes, I got TTT last night (thank you Alex) and yes, we watched the whole thing. I managed to persuade my parents to go for the whole stretch instead of waiting until today...I'm sure it will get watched again very soon, regardless. Only watched the RotK preview and the TTT SE dvd preview...man, I can't wait for nov/dec. I got an Aragorn pin from the nice lady at the grocery store. Too bad it wasn't Legolas, lol. I swear I will get the Realm fixed up sometime soon. I've got to put all the new members on the new fanbase!
I'm dressed up today...wonder if anyone will notice. As far as I know, no one at work knows it's my birthday, which is a little sad, cause I bet someone would have brought cookies. But no big deal.
I'm quite excited cause my birthday gift from my parents is tickets to the Lion King at the Fox Theater in a few weeks. I've wanted to see this for a while so I'm very happy that it's in town and we get to see it. However....Due to some very unfortunate circumstances that I don't wish to go into today my uncle got some free front row tickets for tonight, and he may or may not be able to use them. Realize the tickets we bought are VERY expensive and not refundable, and as much as I hope I like the musical, it's probably not worth seeing twice in such a short period of time. But it's the front row!!!! Agggh. Maybe things will work out and my uncle will be able to use them and spare us the dilemma. Maybe I can sell ours on eBay if we do go. We'd be missing out on Macaroni Grill if we go as well. (lol. not that we can't go out to eat any time, but I've been waiting for some of that Macaroni's bread for ages)
It might be a pretty busy day, which is a little sad. I'm almost sorry to say I want to spend it on the computer messing with my forum...I upgraded it and lost all the modifications I'd made to the previous version (I knew it was going to happen that way so no worries) but who knows what's going on today. Gotta get my Sesquicentennial shirt from WU...how nice. they're giving me a gift on my bday! lol. Maybe I'll go out to lunch. Feel free to send your birthday wishes!
The Aspire Forum is now blue. Go check it out, and post, damn you! lol. No one loves the forum. And remember the gallery is cool too. I'm trying to get back into that web-design mentality and fix up all my sites that haven't been updated in too long. Someone enjoy them.
It's just about midnight and there are people in this time zone buying the Two Towers right now. Sigh. I have to wait till tomorrow, but thank you Alex. It's a nice birthday present. Don't you want to get me something too? lol. You know what I'll be doing tomorrow, don't you?
The Aspire Gallery is up, in its mostly final phase, I think. There are a few modifications I could make (aren't there always?) but it's a mostly self-sufficient site Check it out and let me know what you think! You can leave comments on the images, even if you're not a user. If you'd like to post pictures just leave me a comment somewhere and I'll see what I can do! Enjoy!
The Evanescence concert is tonight. Should be interesting...I heard a rumor that there would be video games as pre-show entertainment. Forget the opening act(s...there are three, I think!) just get on the provided PS2 or xbox...lol.
TTT comes out next week!
Blades by Brown Cutlery: Legolas' White Knives Damn but I want these. It's not like I would do anything with them and I have no way or place to display them, but it's the principle of the thing, you know? Course, I also want Narsil and Arwen's sword...guess what the likelyhood of either of those happening is.
Wish Happy Birthday to John Howe (LotR Concept Artist), Alan Lee (LotR Concept Artist) and John Noble (LotR Actor), who all had birthdays this week. So did Jess Stra, if I'm not mistaken. Happy 22nd, Jess! (Remember, my bday is next week why don't you check out my Amazon wishlist?) Check out this article on LotR archery-ness: Films add a string to archer's bow. Yay for natural archers! I consider myself one More random LotR news: Pre-release sales of The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers have broken all records at Amazon. The internet retailer says over 50,000 pre-orders have been taken ahead of the video and DVD's UK release on Tuesday, August 26. Harry Potter and The Chamber of Secrets was the previous record-holder, with 40,000 pre-orders in April. (Thanks to TORn)
Today I designed and made a totally new layout for the gallery but I forgot about gif-ness so it's a little wonky. I'm quite proud of it nonetheless...you can take a look but I'd probably rather you wait a bit. lol.
Back to voting I go...
Not that most of you would care, but I installed PHPFanBase for future members of the all about the ears clique. Feel free to join before the new layout goes up. lol. lots of copying and pasting for me tonight, and the computer was acting strange. sigh. please keep working, dear iMac...I need you!
why do people keep bidding on the scanners I need? Don't these people realize I need this type of scanner? It's not like I want it for some superfluous reason...it's the only one that will work with this comp! Come on. Let me win an auction. For not much. I'm still mostly broke, even if I'm not in college anymore.
And another thing to be proud of...I finished the redesign of my Roswell fansite, Surrender to the Stars. Be sure to stop by and let me know what you think of it!
elf porn shack: animations hee. the captions make them so much better.
One Wig to Rule them All Parody sites rock, man.
and someone please rescue me:
Perhaps Legolas will find me, but for now I'm relying on you! (Anyone can save me!)
and a list of amazing fonts at Lord Kyl's.
I finally got around to writing letters to people today. So, you select Filippino Fellowship members, you'll get a letter and a little gift or two sometime in the next two to three weeks...that is, if I can make it over to the post office tomorrow. Silly post office only open til 3 pm.
Saw one of my buddies from college today. She's working at the med school, same as me, but she's got a proper office, lol. Not the freezer room. Now, everyone looks at me funny when I say my desk is in the freezer room. But see, the "cold room" is where we keep things that need to be refrigerated or frozen. There's an outer room at 4 deg C and an inner room at -20 deg C. So that's where we keep things cold. But the "freezer room" has two upright freezers at -80 deg C, but the rest of the room is at well, room temperature. So don't worry about me getting too cold...that's just the silly air conditioning in the rest of the building. Anyway. Back to the friend. She's pregnant, and apparently married to someone else other than she was going out with all through college. Hmm. Didn't know how to ask about that, so I'll have to wonder. She did tell me that said previous bf was going to Ghana to interview refugees for immigration. Ghana. Whoa. Made me think of how I haven't really seen anyone from school, except for the random Ross sighting last week and a few people at the alumni happy hours last year. Sigh. Where did all the people go? I know they're still around...and still odd to think that I haven't seen people from high school at all. It would have been nice to have a five-year reunion this summer, and I'm rather surprised that we didn't, given the avid student council-ness of the people in charge. Ah well. Guess they've got lives too...and this way I have more time to become all famous and scientisty. Er. Or finish my book. We'll see, I suppose.
random commenter's question: what part of Moonstone do you like best so far?

better if you vote for me. lol. seriously. Back in the Challenge again at TWQ, and I'd really appreciate your vote. Tough competition this week, so I need all the help I can get. Just once I'd like to make it to the Tower on my own steam...of course, I'd take it any way I can get it
The etoiline.com network is in the middle of the first month of passing 1 GB in bandwidth. Yay! People are visiting. Please go visit my hostees, which is where most of the traffic is going to...course, that's why they're there. Feel free to promote, lol.
For some reason 54 people visited Aspire II last wednesday and I'm at a bit of a loss as to why. Was it because I posted the lyrics to the new John Mayer song? Eh. At least they came. Not one of them left a comment. Pah. Any ideas?
and because it was asked: When will I get a boyfriend? Honey, I am so not the person to ask about this. I haven't had a boyfriend since high school so I'm definitely asking myself the same question. Of course, if you really need an answer, I recommend your nearest Magic 8 ball. It's as good an answer about destiny as you're going to get
Forgive the pun. I just had to. I'm trying to make a skirt that will more closely match the bodice I bought at the renaissance festival last year. Or rather, two skirts, if I can swing it, along with another top. We'll see if I can make it in a month, which is hopefully when Jess and I are going. But re: the title...waistbands are a pain in the neck. They're enough to make me curse, which if you know me, takes a substantial amount of pissed-off-ness. Ah well. Hopefully no one will look too closely at the waistband. But dammit, I made it, so it's all good.
I'm working on a new layout for my Roswell site. Ain't that a kicker? I know it's over, but it's had the same layout for over a year, so I thought it was time to change. Also was inspired by the Dreamer reunion at the Roswell forum. And it's time for php. Yay programming. hah.
Or at least, the whopping three 'ask me anythings' that showed up in my inbox last night. How exciting 
They're rather vague, so I'll interpret them as I see fit
Brooch making? Er. If you mean how to make the fellowship brooch from LotR, I used Sculpey clay: silver and two colors of green: dark green and iridecent seafoam green. If I had had more time I might have tried to work in a bit of real wire, but as it is it's only clay. Took me two practice leaves and a long time on the final one. Used my mother's clay modelling tools. Baked for however long in the old toaster oven retired for expressly that service (it stinks up your regular one). My mom glued the pin back on with hot glue, and secured it with a piece of leather. Savvy?
I saw a Shooting Star and I made a wish, will my wish come true? I hope so. Everyone should have their wish come true. And I'm a bit jealous. You got to see a shooting star? It's been a while.
John Mayer new cd? JM's new cd is called Heavier Things, and it will be available September 9th. It includes the great new single Bigger Than My Body, which is not at all what you think it's about. Also a great new song: Wheel. This song probably sounds better in concert, so you better find out when he's coming to town! Go buy it and support the stars.
and one from long ago:
Do you have a son? That would be a no. Need a guy to do that. Haven't had a boyfriend since high school.
The Aspire Gallery has moved! Sort of. Not that you knew there was a gallery, did you? Actually it wasn't common knowledge. But I found a nicer one that should allow for more customization. Only Orlando pics and some miscellanys up now. Feel free to ask and I will give you access to upload
But please feel free to browse.
I was walking to work today behind this guy in hiking boots, and it made me think (or try to) of the last time I went hiking/camping. I mean, I suppose you can count a little trekking at my grandparents' place, but really camping...as in setting up a tent for the night after hiking a few miles, cooking over a campfire...I miss that. I went with the Outdoor Club a few times frosh year of college, but then the lovely thing called track meets on weekends came about and there went my camping time. I remember right after I went whitewater rafting with the youth group that summer over five years ago, now, I swore I would do it again. And soon. Yeah. And I haven't touched a horse but to just go on a trail ride. Meh. I want to see mountains again, Gandalf, Mountains! I want to gallop or at least a nice canter with a sweet-tempered horse, I want to carry a 50-pound pack for eight hours and collapse on my mat just as the stars are coming out. I want to hear my voice echo in the valley. How did I move away from that? What forces conspired against me to keep me from indulging that side of myself? I miss it when I would spend two weeks every summer galivanting about with other Girl Scouts.
Anyone want to go camping, eh?
You know, it's silly, but I'm quite peeved to have lost the auction for the scanner. If only I had checked my email a little earlier. Sixteen (sixteen!) people bidded within the last hour of the auction, and being busy, I didn't even have a chance. Argh! And of course there's not another one out there. Bugger. And now I'm really running into the stupid freaking "only supports system 8.6 and above" problem. We have system 8.1, just a step down, really, but it screws everything up. Gah. It galls me to have to look for older items. And we can't just buy a new computer because the scanner doesn't work, but we really want a scanner at home. Why did that stupid freaking flashing floppy have to show up? And why won't any of the "troubleshooting" methods work? ARGH!
It vexes me. I am sorely vexed.
Eh. Run out of titles much? Hopefully I'll win the auction for a scanner that supposedly will work with the Biondi iMac we're using at home...it's quite annoying that our old serial port comp just went wonkers and therefore us having to use the USB comp, which has no serial port for the scanner...needless to say, I'm chuffed that we might have a scanner again. Yay technology. Soon hopefully I'll get my pics back from SD/CC and I can show you some pics of me looking silly in my costume (...savez? lol. inside joke.), as well as scanning in my latest Will Turner sketch...as soon as it's done.
Of course, I was the only person to bid on this scanner, and it has no reserve and started at $1...ends tomorrow. Think I'll win Even with the $20 shipping, not a bad deal, eh? I just hope it works. Supposed to be new in the box with all the manuals and software and cords. I hope. Eek. Just realized putting in new scanner means cleaning up area around old one. Meh. This is really just one big ramble so I'll shush now. Go read Fool's Errand, or better yet, buy it and the other six books by Robin Hobb. You won't regret it.

I've only seen part of the Godfather Part II, and I really have no interest in seeing any more of it or any of the other pre-/sequels. Just not a mob fan. Course, now they'll probably put a hit out on me so I can be suitably impressed...
Someday I'll fly
Someday I'll soar
Someday I'll be
Something much more
Cause I'm bigger than my body
Gives me credit for
This song has been on repeat all weekend. I adore it. I can't wait for Sept 9, which is when John Mayer's new cd comes out. Check out Aspire II for the full lyrics. They're so meaningful...his songs always have some little tidbit of greatness buried in them, and you really have to look at them. There's so much to be appreciated. I've got to try to get copies of some of his live concerts. He's one of the few artists that sound just as good if not better live as in studio. JM definitely inspired me to try to learn guitar. I would love to be able to make music like that, to inspire someone else to express themselves...someday. Someday I'll soar.
I've seen the teaser trailer for RotK that's been nosed about...I've got it, let me know if you want it, but I'm taking the link down for now.
and eeg! Pirates screencaps!
Did I mention how when he said "The tang is almost the full width of the blade," I just died? Isn't that silly? But it means he knows his trade. And then the sword flip and his little bow, and that look on his face when Governor Swann told him to pass his thanks on to his master...ahhh. I would see that movie again in a heartbeat.
