― Sarah, Thursday, 28 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Or hide in Katies spice cupboard with the GARAM MASALA GOBLINGS and then come out in the dead of night and watch it myself on RickyTs DVD playah! HA HA, HA HA HAAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA oh dere.

― Sarah, Thursday, 28 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

There is a film in which Hobbits sing. You really don't want to see it though.

― RickyT, Thursday, 28 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

LotR. gah! Pleased to see it won "The Keanu Reeves Award for most homoerotic film" in one of the alternative Oscars.

― Alan T, Thursday, 28 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

did it? ooh then i'll be looking fwd to those deleted scenes of frodo and pipping bumming... i'll get me coat :)

― katie, Thursday, 28 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

a tolkien musical is urgent and key: "fifteen birds in five fir trees" => haha one of the lines is "till skin cracks and eyes glaze"... and they call it twee

― mark s, Thursday, 28 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Is this the CARTOON version RickyT? Was there precense of SOFT SHOE SHUFFLE??? THAT is what I want to see. Pipping in a SEQUINNED WAISTCOAST oh yes, the breeches are all very nice but darling this is LAS VEGAS!!

In the Silmarillion I am now up to 'Of Bererialand and it's Realms'. The excitement is overwhelming me no REALLY! More GOTHMOG say I. He could do a great ROCK NUMBER.

― Sarah, Thursday, 28 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Gothmog vs Gorthaur: tap dance FITE!

― RickyT, Thursday, 28 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Gothmog vs Morgoth = anagram throwdown!!

ie which is bettah, r or g?

― mark s, Thursday, 28 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

The first day of a ten day university break begins today, but I have many projects to complete during this time and so I'm not looking forward to anything right now.

― Mitch Lastnamewithheld, Thursday, 28 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

it is curious and possibly significant that tolkien — who is on the surface very extremely PRO goth, in the ruskin/morris sense AND the ann radcliffe sense — incorporates the word into names to imply radical evil...

― mark s, Thursday, 28 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Did the Goths ever invade Finland?

― RickyT, Thursday, 28 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

groke = icegal of forochel

― mark s, Thursday, 28 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Fields of the Nephilim probably toured there once

― chris, Thursday, 28 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Death, hopefully. I feel like it, at least

― Ally, Thursday, 28 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

thread mutation to LotR makes a lot of people feel that way.

― Alan Trewartha, Thursday, 28 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I was looking forward to my friend N's birthday party for her fiancee S, to be thrown in their Canal St loft, and at which I would be the DJ. HOWEVER their insecure and childish roomie A has some inexplicable phobia of a very good friend of theirs/ours who would be certain to attend. Since A controls the loft, and they are all at his mercy, they have all had to bend to his will. They've just called the whole thing off (since not inviting the problematic friend would be far stranger and not-right than simply not having the party, or having it elsewhere)... N's made a bazillion phone calls to invite people and now has had to make the same bazillion calls to disinvite them. N is beyond furious... Soo... I'm kind of looking forward to a sandwich...

― Tracer Hand, Thursday, 28 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I'm looking forward to Friday.

― Samantha, Thursday, 28 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

*sends Ally a hug*

I'm looking forward to meeting Brian. Google research has shown that he's the person I've known the longest online and it will be excellent to finally meet him.

― Dan Perry, Thursday, 28 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

*seconds Ally hugs, big time, and chastises Alan for his wretched LOTR comments* Am I going to buy both DVD sets given that they have separate amounts of extra material on them? OH GOD YES I AM THAT PATHETIC. I care not.

The Stockholm Monsters albums coming through the letterbox

I'm planning on ordering those myself this weekend! Hurrah for American distribution of those suckers...

― Ned Raggett, Thursday, 28 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

And yeah, the Rankin-Bass Hobbit and Return of the King both feature singalonga fun. Listening to the Mordor orcs since "When There's a Whip, There's a Way" = hilarity.

― Ned Raggett, Thursday, 28 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

hey where are my hugs?? do i not BLEED LIKE YOU etc etc

― Tracer Hand, Thursday, 28 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Dude, why do you need a hug? You've got a sandwich.

― Dan Perry, Thursday, 28 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

yeah, a sandwich of DEATH! HUG ME!

― Tracer Hand, Thursday, 28 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Talking of bleeding...I cut two of my fingers at work today. I am now considering career as Andrew WK double.

― jel --, Thursday, 28 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I think Andrew WK needs a hug. A big bloody hug that squeezes him within an inch of his life.

― Tracer Hand, Thursday, 28 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

How violent, how bitter. No wonder nobody wants to hug you.

― Ned Raggett, Thursday, 28 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

even you Ned! EVEN YOU! *weeps inconsolably*

Okay, I'm going out for a sandwich. Anybody want to meet me on 52nd street and give me a hug?

Thought not. *weeps again, but consolably this time*

― Tracer Hand, Thursday, 28 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Are you turning into me or something? Hurrah! Another minion!

― Ned Raggett, Thursday, 28 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Ned is like a virus, only with longer hair. And fey.

― Dan Perry, Thursday, 28 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I AM you. All of you.

― Linda Tripp, Thursday, 28 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

For that comment I'll hug you Tracer.

― Samantha, Thursday, 28 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Me as virus vs. Tracer as Linda, hm...

― Ned Raggett, Friday, 29 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

This was really the wrong week to ask this question...

I think Brian McDonald JINXED me, because as soon as I got back to the office after meeting him I found out that I'm not graduating, I have to take another class this summer that I had been told by my advisor I wouldn't have to take. Which may not sound like a big deal, but I really can't afford it and I was looking forward to getting my degree so I could quit the job I have now.

So I'm looking forward to finding my former advisor and kicking his ass.

― Nicole, Friday, 29 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Should mention only 10 days till Im done classes.
All year long I thought Id be sad as shit but now I cant wait.
First thing I do when I get home is watch The Graduate.

― Mr Noodles, Sunday, 31 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I am looking forward to tracking down this advisor of Nicole's and finding evil and horrific things to do to him. The bastard.

Looking way ahead, I was obviously already primed for The Two Towers, but now having seen the initial trailer reel for it, now I'm *really* primed! Seen it yet, Katie?

― Ned Raggett, Sunday, 31 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

archiving ILM tomorrow!!

― mark s, Sunday, 31 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Spring. Or at least the rain stopping. Or leaving this town plagued by terrible weather. Whichever comes first.

― isadora, Sunday, 31 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

What do you do when you feel like you have nothing whatsoever to look forward to? Is there something you're able to do or to think of that's able to bring you out of that hole?

This is a serious question.

― anon, Sunday, 31 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I am looking forward to visiting friends this weekend.

― rosemary, Sunday, 31 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

― toby, Monday, 1 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Seeing another friend in Preston! For a quick drink! Yay!

Anon - lower yr standards. Then you will look forward to a trip to Sainsburys Dulwich as the high point of a Saturday.

― Sarah, Monday, 1 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

NED!!! i have not seen any 2 Towahs trailahs! but there's a TV ad thing over here which is basically saying "get thee to the cinema to see LotR again, there's a 2 towers trailer with it" and then it shows some bird (=Eowyn, probably) and a battle with ppl falling off a wall... i am GOING TO though!! *bounces*

― katie, Monday, 1 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I'm looking forward to my next paycheck. Unfortunately, this is a MONTH AWAY.

You will appreciate it. There is much goodness.

― Ned Raggett, Monday, 1 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I look forward to the resurrection of the dead and the life of the world to come.

― N., Monday, 1 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

More the resurrection of the dead bit, really. I mean like wooo!!

― N., Monday, 1 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

It will be just like the Thriller video, so who cares anyway...

Well, fuck this thread in its face for jinxing what I've been looking forward to. Supposed to go meet my new nephew tomorrow, but now I have to wait until this weekend. The Cubs game tonight got cancelled and rescheduled for a day when I can't possibly go.

Fuck looking forward to things.

Every Thursday there's a new Parks and Rec. I have some good cheese I can look forward to anytime. My CSA share starts again March 11, fresh veg (and I think chicken eggs from Arizona's racist chickens)!
