liptonrm_backupI am so tired of copiers. If I never have to copy another piece of paper again in my life it'll be too soon. Okay, I need a break at least until Monday (after all, the only way to stop copying is to quit my job, and we can't have that now;-).
The week has not been a total loss, though. I've just about finished watching all of the Extended Edition, and, believe me, there is much rejoicing going on.
I think I'm in love with everybody who worked on that film, and I mean everybody;-). The art department, the FX people, the stunties, the editors, the orchestra, the cast, everybody. The effort and love they all put into the project is apparent and are the components that really make the movie(s) so great.
I loved everything featured in the appendices, but I believe my favorite bits of the appendices were the featurettes on the art department (the building of Meduseld and all of the other sets was just plain cool) and the one about the stunt actors. Would that not be the greatest job ever, to be able to be paid to go around and whack people with swords and assorted weaponry. That's what I call fun, painful, but fun;-). I'm so jealous that Miranda Otto and Liv Tyler got to spend all that time learning how to fight. So jealous.
Not much else is going on, besides my obsession with this precious DVD;-). I did get that evil Machiavelli paper back. The grade wasn't half bad, but I swear the GSI is grading me down because she doesn't feel I'm writing as well as I could be. I suppose I'm not, but seriously, don't really care about Machiavelli. It was interesting, but the focus of the paper was not what I would have focused on if I had my way. I'm definitely looking forward to my last class ever next semester. This whole education process has gone on far too long already.
Tomorrow's the big U-M/OSU game. It's the 100th match-up and the game that will decide the Big Ten champion. I'll be there, in the Big House and I'd better bring some nitroglycerine with me, because I think the stress is going to give me a heart-attack;-). Go Blue!
