Today was better than yesterday.
Woke up late and missed the Play into Film lecture. Watched "Throne of Blood", Kurosawa's version of Macbeth. It was largely dull and repetitive, and Lady Macbeth was dead creepy, but at least he looked Macbeth-y. I think I'm too much of a fan of the original Shakespearian language to appreciate this. I love Shakespeare. I was also most annoyed that there was no Macduff.
Went to lunch with Melissa. We spoke of Monty Python, among other things (very abridged):
"What's that show? With the former child star in it. Donnie Wahlberg! And it had everything from different perspectives, first the cops, then the bad guys..."
"I'm wanting to say Boondocks?"
"Boomtown!"
Went to German Cinema, finally got to see The Cabinet of Dr Caligari (but for the last 10 minutes), which I thoroughly enjoyed except that the concept of the somnambulist was rather stupid and unexplained, and he was more sad than scary.
Went to French class, went back to German Cinema to see the last 10 minutes of a rather odd little documentary about oil rigs(?). Did some reading in the library, came home, went online for 2 hours, had dinner, watched Rove. Huzzah.
I remembered something else from the con I don't think I included in my summary. Ben and Warren did a great presentation on the making of Gollum, from the initial sketches to models. Then they said "This is the final, horrifying visage that we see on screen." Cue a picture of Haldir looking angry. Hee. Those boys are so *cute*!!!
To which of the hobbits would you attribute each other elements? (Fire, air, water, earth.)
Wait til you guys see my experimental new Domlijah layout on Once You Pop next time I change it.
Okay, I promised someone I would put up the transcript of The Day Gollum Found a Girlfriend, by Mark Ferguson and Craig Parker.
Gollum woke that fateful day
He looked down to his feet, they were splay
But beside him in the bed no one lay
The day Gollum found a girlfriend.
He went leaping into his little boat
It was made of wood and it did float
He never ate his bit of old goat
The day Gollum found a girlfriend.
Gollum heard a winsome sigh
And in the distance saw a milky white thigh
But it was only Bilbo, an ugly old guy
The day Gollum found a girlfriend.
He paddled fast, he paddled hard
He saw a glipmse, a tiny shard
He reached in and cried "Hooray, Huzzad"
The day Gollum found a girlfriend.
It was reflective,and her skirt
It was very clean but had a bit of dirt
And he then saw a hobbit woman and began to flirt
The day Gollum found a girlfriend.
In came Rosie Cotton looking perky
He started to palpitate and felt quite jerky
But there was something about him quite quirky
The day Gollum found a girlfriend.
She smiled at him, he thought "What luck!"
Making himself nice, shirt he did tuck
She said "Little fella, come jump in my truck"
The day Gollum found a girlfriend.
He fell madly in love, feeling heinous
He said "Rosie my love, I'm Mars, you're Venus"
She kissed him and said "Gollum, I love your greeness"
The day Gollum found a girlfriend.
thanks to the utterly brilliant Lavenda for the transcript.

Okay, pics. Sean doing some car thing and some award thing, and then a Sinfest comic that perfectly describes my morning.

Your German Cinema class sounds interesting. I actually don't know that much about it - I only watch the odd bad comedy or weird experimental movie every now and then... Hohmm.
