A LOTR location... as if I needed to tell you

No reposting whatsoever without my permission. Copyright by KerrSmith2306
And hopefully not just a location from the past but from the future as well. After all, the "Hobbit" has to be filmes somewhere, right? :) As you might recall my first try at seeing this place was totally rained out. And boy was I happy when I returned for my 2nd try the next morning. Yes, the grass was still a bit wet, yes, it was a bit muddy. But oh... OH... the joy of being there with an early morning sunshine... can not be described. One of these days I truly have to dig out the videos I took that day and smash them together for YouTube. :) But not today. Or this weekend. Or the week after that... *sigh*

I finished the last installment of the Twilight series, Breaking Dawn, last night.  All I can say is, I'm glad I read the series just to see what all the fuss was about, but I'll probably never read them again.  Twilight is probably the best of the series just because it's the first.  But even at that it's just barely tolerable.
Of course, my opinion of the books is biased because I hate romantic, lovey-dovey, mushy crap.  And let me tell you, that's about all these books are.  Just one giant cheesy love note.
There were a few things I liked in Breaking Dawn, most of which being Jacob.  If I had to pick a favorite character I'd pick him (and Carlisle too).  Jacob is just funny, and his dialogue is probably the least cheesy of all characters in the books.

Overall the books are very mediocre, and definately the worst vampire books I've ever read.  I've loved vampires for a long time, but these are just stupid.  I don't know that anyone could top Ann Rice though.

Harry Potter is MUCH more my style.  There's more to invest myself in with those books.  It isn't just a love story.  There's so much more depth than Stephenie Meyer ever thought of putting in her stories.  

Anyway.  That's my rant on Twilight.  I know millions of people love the series, and that's fine, my sister is one of them, I just think there are far better books to spend your time obsessing over--if you feel the need to obsess over something.

Could someone PLEASE give me both beginning AND finish html codes for the bleeding lj cut?
I have tried everything possible and the cut won't work for me EVER and right now I'm devillishly pissed off at this.
Thanks in advance.

Hello my dear Rushie friends!!! :)

Sorry I've been absent for so long. I had a surge of exams and finals starting from last week going into this week and I'm happy to say, I had my final exam tonight and I passed my course!!  I'm so relieved!!  I just completed my last and final math course I have to take in college.  I'm so happy because I'm horrible in math and hate it with a passion.

I'm now rewarded with a nice break from night school until September 2nd!!!  I wish I could take a holiday from my job, but since I worked less hours during the semester, I wasn't making much money, so I can't afford a holiday from work.

Even so, I can't wait to get back to my horses, work on my media projects, and watch Geoffrey movies again!!!! :D That's a holiday treat in itself!!!

I hope you all are doing well...I'm currently dancing on clouds and in my mind...with GEOFFREY!!! 

See ya around LJ ladies!!!!

 

Yikes, neglect much? Yes I have. Chelsea, I'm stealing borrowing your posting style without your permission, is that okay? ;-)

1. Dad went back to work on Monday night. Much stress relief is had! Like I said, I love my Dad, but seriously, there's something up with him. And now we can go back to working with the horses our own way.

2. Annie has been demoted. Mom has officially decided that she is an outdoor dog now. Annie has pretty much shat on the floor at least once a day for the last five days. And normally, I should just say 'pooed', but the consistency here . . . well the only word to describe what she's done all over the floors is 'shat'. And she does it just beside the door, in the middle of the morning, when we're all up and about and available to let her outside. Has been this way since Dad refused to let her in the bed with him and she smells like friggin' death. We're not sure what's wrong with her. We probably should take her to the vet, but Mom's terrified that she'll pull a Murray and drop dead in the waiting room. She says doing that two months in a row would be embarassing, lol.

3. Because of #2 (that pun was unintentional, I swear!), I feel like I'm suddenly living in a kennel and couldn't really be comfortable until I'd spot treated and vacuumed the carpets, and mopped the floors. Which I feel is pointless if I haven't cleaned the toilets, tubs, and sinks as well. So needless to say, I've had a busy day :P and that's not including the hour or so I spent outside messing with Walker and attempting to comb his nappy tail. Silly Walker. But I'm making progress with him, and I think it's safe to say that by the new year he'll be at least used to being saddled, if not started under one.

4. On Monday, I took Charles with me while I checked out a job at the unemployment office (cutting up chicken and fish for packaging, ick! But hey, it's a job if I get it!), and then we went to see The Dark Knight again. It was great, of course. Except for the fact that I felt an odd sensation on my leg which I attributed to a wrinkle in my jeans, but later discovered was some mystery substance. It smelled like spearmint/turpentine/gasoline and burned like hell, and I sat through a two and a half hour movie with it. Had a nice big chemical burn on my leg from it. I. Blame. The Joker. Something he would find amusing, no? Though I'm sure it was really just someone's lighter breaking in their pocket and me being unfortunate enough to sit after them. But this is the really scary part. About a mile from home, I stopped the car and let Charles drive the rest of the way. He has his permit and all, but damn, I remember seeing him screaming naked in the hospital as a wee one. What happened?!

That about catches us up here. Oh yeah, Sunday Mom and I went to a church, and five minutes before services, a countdown came up on the projection screens. It was the same exact one from the Lost hatch bunker in season 2, LOLZ! I'm so going back there again. See everyone tomorrow!

PSYCHE! Not letting you go without orgasmic DOM!SPAM!

Damn sexy hats, I fall for them every time . . .


And this is just do-able. Please I can have?

Have a nice summer! :)

Sunset at Lake Te Anau, New Zealand

The last couple days I realized how much I miss New Zealand. Everything seemed easy in New Zealand. I guess that's the impression one gets when visiting a country for a longer period of time, but not really staying there in a living sense, more like in the vacation sense of it. Still, I am so fond of this country, like no one will ever understand (I fear). None of my friends for sure. *sigh* I'll be back. One day. For sure. *sigh again*

For those interested in history and the super natural.
I'm usually quite down to earth but this was the Queen's own bank, who brought out a well know psychic..they wouldn't make jokes about such a thing.
I've read it a while back first time and it grabbed me so i wanted to find more articles about it and came up with this.
So sad..poor man..

FindArticles - An Elizabethan ghost goes West - personal narrative
Contemporary Review, July, 1993, by Francis Edwards

So...I was wondering how to make videos and such using Windows Movie Maker. (I recently got a new laptop and it has it, so I've never used it before.) How would I go about doing that? I have all three "Pirates" movies and some lovely ideas (most involving Barbossa) bouncing about in me noggin. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

As a side note, if anyone remembers my fanfic "A Touch of Destiny" (I posted some of it about a year ago), I'm going to start posting it again. I realize I kind of dropped off the face of the earth, but life tends to do that to you occasionally. =/ Between classes and work I've been busy, but I've been able to revise my story and add (a lot!), so I'll be posting it again in a few weeks. =]
