Music: "Return to Edoras" - Howard Shore [Complete ROTK: LOTR OST]

I freaking love the Lord of the Rings music... I'd totally forgotten how badass the music was until I felt like a little Howard Shore action last night before I went to bad... absolutely amazing. Sometime over the summer break, I'm going to have an "extended version of all the LOTR movies" day. It'll be like twelve or so hours, but nevertheless... amazing amazing amazing. I'm all... excited.
Need to reread the books again, too. I remembered loving the books.

Gah, lots of reading this summer. Books are tasty.
Speaking of which, I want to keep reading The Secret Life of Bees. It's turning out to be one of my favorite books... kind of weird, considering the author is one of those scary inspirational, God-munching writers. It explains a lot of the subtle literary material in The Secret Life of Bees, but writers on Christianity kind of make me wary (with the exception of C. S. Lewis; I love C.S. Lewis).

Um, today my parents were planning on actually "celebrating" my birthday today (along with my sister's, because they apparently forgot about her birthday a month ago and didn't throw her party then). So... hooray! Today everybody is home (nobody was home yesterday for it; that upset me quite a bit), and we will be having people over. So, yay. Chocolate cake, a few more presents, and some fun... ee. :D
Maybe Ian can come over today as well... he's moving within a week or two and he needs to help around, but I'm half-hoping that his mother will grant him permission.

I had a weird dream last night, and I don't remember a damn thing about it. Argh.
That dream journal thing I'm trying to do is proving to be kind of useless. Maybe I can use it to store some of my literary ideas (like that WWII book that I plan on scribing... that'll be amazing, if I ever get motivated enough to get 'round to it).

Otherwise, a word of wisdom:
"It is of interest to note that while some dolphins are reported to have learned English -- up to fifty words used in correct context -- no human being has been reported to have learned dolphinese." - Carl Sagan

In all honesty, I thought it was better than "So long, so long, and thanks for all the fish."
