Catch Me…

I’ve spent a good portion of the day taking down the Christmas tree, packing up lights and ornaments, cleaning up the living room, and watching “Divas on Ice”. Yeah, I like Ice Skating. But now it’s time to go and get ready to see Catch Me If You Can with a 96% “Fresh” rating from RottenTomatoes.com. I can’t wait! If only the rest of the Christmas decorations would pack themselves up while I’m gone…

TV Zombies…

Which commercials from 2002 are you most likely to remember? I don’t know if I agree with all of the ones on this list, but the Sears one with the rancid milk and the wife saying “The fridge is broken” always cracked me up! (Well, after I cringed over the thought of drinking the milk. Ick!) Which commercials did you like the most in 2002? And is it silly that I still miss the “I’m coming out…” Levi’s low-cut singing belly-buttons commercials? Really, I do! [via forty.something]

WOW!

What a great evening! After picking Mike up from the airport at 5pm, we decided to catch the 7:20 show of The Lord of the Rings : The Two Towers. WOW! Wow! I mean … WOW! Jason & I rewatched the Fellowship of the Ring (extended version) earlier today, and the second one is just as good as the first! It was so good, I would happily go see it 2 or 3 more times in the theater, at least!

Granted, I’ve never read the books. I have seen a few people say that they were a little disappointed in this one. I don’t agree at all – I loved it! I don’t know if I can stand waiting another year for the third one – I might just have to break down and read all of the books before then!

By the way, the LOTR website has screensavers and wallpapers that you can download. There are pictures of all of the main characters. I’ve saved pictures of Legolas, concept art of various scenes, and Aragorn is now full screen on my desktop… yum.

Who Was She?

Did anyone watch last night’s Alice“? Who was it? I’m totally baffled and I can’t find it anywhere online. Anyone know?
