::has a lightswitch rave:: The system... is down!

And by system, I mean internet. Wah, no web for Priscilla today unless I go to the computer lab (where I am now), which is the only area connected today. Teh woe. Ah well, at least I won't be distracted when I'm writing my paper for Film Noir.

Meanwhile, the first day of the Priscilla and Tricia Lord of the Rings Fest went swimmingly! I proved my status as Unquestioned Goddess of A/V Equipment and justified myself in my geekhood. Of course, it took me 30 minutes of agonized "WHY ISN'T IT WORKING!?!??" before I realized "Hey... maybe the sound just isn't working because there's not supposed to be sound here!" Stupid Howard Shore with his "Oh, let's put music all over the DVD menus for TTT but not on FotR just to confuse Priscilla!" Grr. Ah well, I got it working, and I finally got to see FotR:EE on a decently large sized screen (about 10 feet), and it was all lovely. Though it was quite clear the Vadim was bored out of his mind. Poor boy. Don't worry, Vadim! It gets more exciting! I probably should have skipped through the "concerning hobbits" bit. But it all evens out, because Tricia has joined me in my head-over-heels love for Pippin and his accent. XD

Tonight, we watch The Two Towers, and tomorrow, off to the theatres for Return of the King! Jolly good!
