Out for delivery...

... three words that are music to my ears. I have been expecting my Christmas gift from my folks -- the ROTK EE DVD Gift Set -- to arrive late, as I decided to save them some money and order it through Amazon.com. I paid for 2nd day delivery, but didn't expect it until at least Thursday.

Guess what? The tracking information informs me that it is in town and out for delivery. Wooo hooo! I should have it by this evening, along with many other folk who will be getting theirs today on release day. And the nice thing is, my son is home today, so he can wisk it indoors where it will be safe after they leave it at the door. Now I will have to make him swear solemn oaths not to open it until I come!

I've a fair bit of things on my list for today, so we'll see how much of it gets done once that parcel arrives.

:-D

This icon represents one of the scenes I'm going to look at first, no matter how much my family urges me to wait and watch it in context!

Thanks to boriel for making it for me!

Woe is me!

My laptop seems to have suddenly fried itself. Wonder if it was because of the tears falling on it after watching the extended ROTK scene with Boromir....?

Incredible = the scene

Devastating = the scene and the fact that my laptop is (possibly) defunct -- hubby thinks it might be a chip or something. Just hoping the hard drive can be saved to put in another laptop. :-(

I was going to do some work tonight before watching more of the DVD, but I think I need to do something to take my mind off my computer. I can't think of a better excuse to use for shirking my duty to enjoy the rest of my evening!

Did I say that the Boromir scene was incredible? Don't watch it without kleenex.
