not all who wander are lost

Tomorrow is the epic Lord of the Rings marathon and feast at the Drafthouse. It is the third year I've been, two years since I met Mike there, a year since he proposed there. It feels like longer though. This time I should try to remember to bring tissues, since I cry copiously at various times. Boromir, Rohan, the last march of the Ents, Pippen and the knights of Gondor and all the fighting and dying and endings. One of the things I love about these stories is that there are no magical healings - Frodo carries the scar all his life. Things will never be the same, but the world goes on and they have to find a way to live as they are.

I caught bits and pieces on Spike - it makes me want to sit down with all three movies for a marathon of my own.

In the meanwhile, I think I'll pop in my extended score for Return of the King and get some writing done.
