i ended up going to bed quite late last night; i got wrapped up in trying to finish jet grind radio (which i finally did this morning - that god damn turntable was kicking my ass) and trying to finish the two towers (which i did last night). i’m now making my way through the return of the king. needless to say, i’m counting the days till the lotr movie is released. what i’ve seen of it is promising - visually it looks stunning, and the casting so far appears to be perfect. i would never have pictured elijah wood as frodo, but it works. he’s got the right face for it. i just hope the movie isn’t a big disappointment - along the lines of the phantom menace, or what have you. i’ve been waiting for it so long that it will have to be awfully good to not make me feel let down, but maybe it will be awfully good.

gundam is on his way over for chinese food and probably a movie or something. i have been craving vegetable lo mein all day. i don’t know what we’ll watch with it. i’m in a very lotr mood, but i hate those god damned animated versions. they irritate me to no end.

whatever was up with my stomach yesterday has apparently disappeared; i’ve felt more or less fine all day. i probably ate something bad monday night, or something.

i think now i will go make tea and curl up with my book until gundam shows up. hooray.
