New Beginnings
2004 is going to be weird, of that I have no doubt whatsoever. After 00:00 on 01/01/04 I must have jumped out of my skin on about 50 occasions. Very strange… and there I go again. My little flying witchy just fell off the window onto the keyboard!
Went to see LOTR:ROTK last night. The film was excellent (as expected), I’ve always loved Pete Jackson’s vision. Shame about all the arseholes in the cinema. We appeared to have chosen the worst seats ever and were surrounded by them. There was a couple in front of us that had a torch out and were signing paperwork!! The torch was right in my eyes, but they were oblivious. Then they proceeded to talk about work throughout the ENTIRE film! If that wasn’t annoying enough the couple next to me talked all the way through as well, although at least it was about the film. The girl was constantly “who’s that?” “where are they going?” “what did they do that for?” and the boy said “my preciooooousssssss” every single time Gollum was on the screen. The first time was OK, but it really was EVERY time… then it got grating. To top it all off some idiot shouted “I’ve got the ring!” half way through. Just as well it was a good film and not something like The Sin Eater, or I’d have walked out.
I’m just about to write to Warner Village to complain. Not about the people, short of having an exam on whether you can sit still & quiet for at least an hour before letting you in, I’m not sure they could really help there. The Screen we were in (4) was right at the back of the cinema and looked like it had been forgotten about. The seats at the back were ripped and stained, head-rests were missing. Also, the sound kept going in the speakers on our side so made you feel dizzy. Plus, I may get a free voucher if I complain – yay!
Well, Live Journal has a lot to answer for in making me look stalker like. Saw 2 people that looked familiar and had to get a good stare in to see why. Turns out they’re friends of friends who I’ve seen here on LJ! Sorry SarahLoo & DeeplySpurious for the squinty eyes!
It was all very strange coming back from the cinema last night. As me & Chris were ranting away I noticed all the trees were REALLY standing out. As we went through the darkness in Shinfield, the silhouettes of the trees in the fields just looked stunning. I started getting that deep gut feeling that I’m moving on to a new stage now, the trees are calling me. I hope it’s not the end of the animal calling as that’s been really fun. It does explain why I suddenly mentioned Bonsai and got a whole bunch of Bonsai related gifts at Christmas though!
I get the distinct feeling that this tree thing has a lot to do with my Crow Magick. Those little blighters always look at me like I have soooo much more to learn.
