fellowship of the ring

i wonder how many times in this lifetime i can watch "lord of the rings: fellowship of the ring." i'm watching it right now... and this is the 2nd time i've watched it today. and probably the 6th time i've watched it this week... hmm... it's tuesday, that can't be good. i'd imagine i wouldn't watch it as much if it wasn't coming on the movie channels all the time, but the fact that i watch it every single time i see it on tv is a little silly. it makes andy crazy. every time he walks in the room and i'm watching this movie, i hear "again??" as if that will make me channel out of sheer shame that i'm watching it for the bagillionth time, but i keep on watching. "BILBO BAGGINS...." LOL... that's an inside joke.

life has been pretty nice lately. (this, of course, is just a random thought, but i thought i'd express it anyway)

i got the pictures back from our trip to sheyattle. man, they are funny... j, if you're reading this... yes, the hot tub does look like a bad rap video. LOLOL!!! so, we accomplished what we were trying to do. and all those action shots... man, it looks exciting... just kidding... not really, it just looks like you guys are staring at the tv.

everyone keeps mentioning the inevitable war that is creeping upon us. i guess i try not to think about it and use it to my advantage that i have selective memory. i can't even tell you about the handful of people that i know are affected by this, meaning people who are in the military and the families that are attached to these people. i try to remember what life was like during the persian gulf war, but i don't really remember alot. i heard people talking about other people's parents getting sent out to the war, but i guess since my dad didn't go, i didn't really have a firm grasp what that meant. to grow up on an air force base probably changes your perception of the world a little. i mean, our idea of safety was a little wacky... we had armed men guarding the area where we lived. so not just joe shmoe could walk down our street (theoretically, of course), but at the same time, military and military establishment was in your face wherever you went. hmmm... well, anyway, i guess all i can do is pray that everyone out there comes home safe... and comes home soon.
