My husband is in the Navy and we saw all three LOTR movies while stationed in Puerto Rico. It was really annoying when they'd be speaking in Elvish because you'd have to try and quickly translate the spanish subtitles to figure out what they were saying. I don't think the local audiences were prepared for the abrupt ending of Fellowship. There was a lot of yelling, "Que?!??!! Que?!?!?!" at the end. By the third movie they were into it big time. Gasping, cheering, screaming at the screen. One of the all time most enjoyable movie-going experiences I have ever had. The funny thing was that Aragorn got way more hoots and hollers from the ladies than Legolas ever did. hehe.

Just downloaded and played "Re:your brains" on Rock Band. Most excellent! My husband wants to know if you can give him Felicia Day's phone number. hehe! Maybe they can get "Do you want to date my avatar" for Rock Band too. That would be sweet! Hope you're feeling better and can rock out again soon. The Beatles version is pretty awesome so far, imho. :)

I have been missing your podcasts! Only problem with this one? Too short! Can't wait to read the book. You should definitely do an audio version. Thanks!

Record turnouts in Virginia meant a 2 1/2 hour wait JUST TO GET SIGNED IN at the polls, but after that the voting was quick. I voted electronically for the first time. Scary! My extremely patient 5 year old kept asking me when "Brock-a-bama" was going to show up. Still, I felt as giddy as I did voting for Clinton in '92 that my vote might actually be counting for something good. Awesome.

LOVED the performance of your STNG review. Nice balance of talk and music. Please sir, may we have some more?

I bought a beer stein for the hubby from cafe press about a year ago. Was fairly decent quality and the logo has held up pretty well but I would recommend hand washing. :)

Yes! Always looking for cool mugs and tees. Would like to see the return of the "my name is William Fucking Shatner" or maybe "Wil says: Don't be a dick"?

Wil, Just watched 1981. Was feeling bad about getting suckered in to yet another 80s show, but it was a pleasant surprise to see your mug for about 30 sec. in 1980. Thankfully you get much more screen time in '81. Gotta say I love the sideburns. If Wesley had been rockin' those back in the day he definitely would have gotten some Robin Lefler action. Just another geek... :)
