Not funny (however appealing), Losth, this is real and unavoidable.

Wow, I was in a bad mood yesterday. It is funny. Just not plausible. Well, yes, plausible, but not realistic. Well, yes...
*ahem* The point is, I can't. Not from lack of skill or motivation, rather fear of...consequences. Can we please, please, PLEASE try to change the date? For my poor sanity, or insanity, or...meh.

Yeah, sure. How about the 16? Or maybe the 22? Or 23? I am pretty much not doing much the whole month (except going to the Royal, yay!) so any date would probably be okay. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Yay!
Something to think about: How will we recognize eachother? Obviously I know what Losth looks like, though, ya...what o'clock shall we meet, and where (in the ROM)? Who else can come?

[img]smilies/frown.gif[/img] People who can't come [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img]
sure, anyone who's coming can bring whoever, Losth's and my friend Mary is coming too. Oki, Losth an I have tickets for 4:30 cos I have another engagement (Irish dancing) that goes until 3:30 but its in the beaches so it will take that long for me to get to the ROM.

definitly order them in advance. I'm not sure if they sell them @ the door.
I thinki it would b better if we met at the steps of the ROM. Just cuz im not quite sure where its being held. 4:30, at the steps to the ROM, yes?

oi vey. We've been fraught with disaster from the first. I guess we'll have to try for a time later on in the year (like summer!) *sigh* this is too bad...

Ooh, where to begin...
First of all, it was really REALLY crowded and there were some exceptionally dumb people behind us who called Hobbits, 'Muggles' and could not tell the difference between a hunting knife and a sword. But I digress. It was a big, long, glorious walk-through type thing and along the way there were cases with props from the movie, such as weaponry and jewelry and various variousities. You name it, they had it! The mithril vest was beautiful! And they had the One Ring near the end! So you went through all these rooms that were themed and decorated as places from the movie, they had Fangorn Forest (with fake trees and artificial fog, but well done), the Golden Hall (complete with fire pit and carved columns), Helm's Deep, Orthanc, and basically everywhere else. In some places they had up whole sets as they were in the movie, such as Saruman's office-thing (he's very messy, books everywhere!). They also had strategically placed TVs with snippets from the movie. Then at the end, there was drumroll a gift shop. With a whole lot of really random stuff, such as LotR Sour Gummies. But they also had some really nice elven-type clothing, and Losth and I bought shirts. All in all, a tiring but good day. Oh, for some sort of teleportation device so you all could have come!

Newsflash:
Losth, another friend of ours, and I have tickets for TTT on Wednesday. Looks like we're not all going together. That fell through thoroughly.

I plan to be pushing around that number before the new year!
Losth and I got to be some of the geeky fanatics in costume, we wore period shirts that we bought at the Rom exhibit [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]

20 times?! Sheesh... I'll be lucky if I get to see it four times... [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img] It's kinda hard to see movies here 'cause it's a 45 minute drive to the theatre. [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img]

Did you guys see the Two Towers ice sculptures in Toronto? Some of them were kinda cool! I liked the flying Nazgul one. I have some pictures, I'll post them up later if I get the chance. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

I'm Canadian too! I'm from Ontario, about 2 & 1/2 h from T.O., but I'll be moving there next year, hopefully.

While Americans flock to see movies about a rap-singing kangaroo, oversexed honeymooners and a child-stealing witch called the Tooth Fairy, Canadian moviegoers are sticking to The Lord Of The Rings, with Chicago closing quickly in the box-office rankings as it moves into more theatres.
Check It Out! Oh ya! Canadians are cool! (Actually cold cause it is WINTER!) Sorry, I couldn't resist.
