I finally saw The Two Towers. Very very very well done. One thing very much upset me, and it wasn't with the movie, it was with the audience. They laughed at Gollum when his mean personality was tormenting him and telling him how awful he was. Cyndi is often nasty to us in the same way. I couldn't believe they thought it was funny. I very much identify with Gollum. He is broken and different. He is tormented by himself and by others. He is the freak. The outcast amongst outcast. I took it quite personally when the audience made fun of him.

In addition to watching The Two Towers yesterday, I finally met wicketgate. She has been on my LiveJournal friends list for a long time and lives so close that it's amazing that we've never met before. I'm glad we have now, and hope to see her again. Maybe she'll come over for tea sometime.

purpleglitter came over late last night and spent the night. She took me to Stop & Shop after we woke up. I was very cranky at Stop & Shop after I found that the only the Progresso soups with meat in them were on sale. If you don't want dead flesh in your soup, you are required to pay full price.

This evening, merryperseis and I watched Dancer in the Dark. It's one of my favorite movies. Björk is as good an actor as she is a singer. I decided to add the movie to my top 50 movies. Whenever I add a movie, I must also remove one. Instinct got the axe this time. Very good movie, but it just didn't make the cut. I also went ahead and did a little reordering to the list as well.
