tolkien ’bout a revolution — still thinkin’ about lotr, & still not completely sure what to make of it… but i’m liking it more as it recedes into memory… although i think what i was trying to say the other day was something like while i was watching it i couldn’t stop mentally referring back to the book… which i realise is something of a non-statement, or, at least, a non-criticism… & maybe i was a bit rough on elrond… still, talk about epic, eh?
i mean… it could be that with all that mental referencing stuff what i’m really trying to say is that on some (nerdy, tolkien-fanboy) level i was sitting there going, “hey, they left out… & also… & they didn’t put in… &…” which, is also kinda dumb, given that the film’s already pushing three hours… (& you know, whoosh! go legolas!)
memories, like the something something something — bought 256Mb of RAM for speedpig yesterday… which should have given me around about 320Mb when it was all plugged in, but one of the DIMMs is invisible… can’t seem to get it to appear, so i’m (temporarily, i hope) stuck with 192Mb for the nonce… still, if the worst comes to the worst, that should tide me over until the end of next year, when i’m planning to retire speedpig in favour of the as yet unspecified megapig, which is gonna be, like, totally (auf deutsch) über dem oberen… or sopra il superiore, as they probably don’t say in italy…
