Lord of the Rings

I just got back from seeing Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring. I went to see it with Amy and James, and overall I liked the film… This kind of surprised me because I read the book that this movie was based on many moons ago and didn’t really enjoy it all that much… Perhaps I will go back and read it again, and perhaps the entire trilogy (I stopped at the first book last time around)..

Did the film have it’s flaws? Of course. Did the film end abruptly? Of course (but no more abruptly than Empire). But overall, I was very impressed with it. I don’t believe the hype it is receiving is unjust….

James and I exchanged xmas gifts… I got him the DVD of The Elephant Man and he got me Miles Davis’ " Kind of Blue", which is way cool.

Actually, looking back at my Journal, I guess I never really addressed the whole Christmas thing after the fact… =) I had a great time with my family and friends, everyone seemed to really like their gifts, and I got lots of cool stuff as well…
