MINAS TIRITH, M-E... Reactions on the recent Academy nominations...
excerpt: ...Upon reading the list of nominations, Baggins commented with an ironic chuckle, "They've left out one of the chief characters: the cast. I want to hear more about them." Waxing solemn and soulful, he added, "The movie wouldn't have got far without the cast."
...Legolas Greenleaf, of the Mirkwood realm, commented somewhat cryptically on the Academy's choices, "A red sun rises. Lame decisions have been made this night." When asked to clarify his opinion, he told reporters that he had not the heart, for the grief was still too near, and retired for a walk in the forest.
...But overall the mood was one of mild disgust. As Lord Aragorn put it to reporters, "The day may come when the Academy is able to find their ass with a flashlight. But this is not that day."

the friday five:
You have just won one million dollars:
1. Who do you call first? My parents.
2. What is the first thing you buy for yourself? Either a really good book (hell, a library), the best Powerbook out there, or a car. Yeah, I realize there's a slight monetary discrepancy there, but who cares?
3. What is the first thing you buy for someone else? A greenhouse for my mother.
4. Do you give any away? If yes, to whom? Lots to parents. Possibly some charity, if one pulls my heartstrings enough.
5. Do you invest any? If so, how? God I hope I would be smart enough to invest. However I know absolutely zilch about investing so I'd have to brush up on my financial skillz...
wouldn't it be so nice to win? Leo and I were talking about what we'd do with a thousand dollars. It would be gone in an instant for me. Books, cds, a portable dvd player and a playstation with several games...oh yes, there it goes.

PromoGuy dot Net: Monday Mission 4.0--The End!
This is, at long last, the final edition of PromoGuy's Monday Mission.
1. In the last week, what happened that made you feel loved beyond your wildest dreams?
[ from MM 1.0] I hugged my mom.
2. What was the last audio CD you paid money for?
[ from MM 1.3] The Return of the King Internet-Only Edition Soundtrack. Worth every cent.
3. Has someone you know ever told you they had a terminal illness? What was it like for you when you found out. How did that change your relationship with them?
[ from MM 2.45] Dear God don't let it be terminal, but my uncle has cancer, a very advanced type of cancer. I feel like I can't hug him because he looks like he might break. And my mother has Cushing's Disease, which can be fatal...but I will love her forever, nothing can change that. I guess I was just never as close to my uncle as my mother, which makes sense, I suppose.
4. Do you have an accent? Are there any phrases or words you say that tip folks that you aren't from around these parts?
[ from MM 2.38] I wish I had a british accent. Or better yet, a scottish accent. The only thing that tells people I'm from Missouri is my tendency to say "warsh" instead of "wash" and I drive on highway "fardy-far" instead of 44. Which I try not to do when I think about it.
5. What's the difference between being a Father, and being a Daddy?
[ from MM 3.25] Genetics and Love.
6. What is the most recent thing guilt has motivated you to do?
[ from MM 2.50] Call a guy.
7. How do you feel about tips and tipping? Do you feel obligated to tip even if your service is bad because you know the servers don't get paid much? If you've ever relied on tips for your income, how do you feel when you don't get any?
[This is a new one, had to throw in at least one more hot topic before I sign off] I hate tipping. I understand why you have to do it, because those poor underpaid servers aren't even getting minimum wage so they need the tips to live, but I just detest having to pay more for a service than is on the receipt. This is why I will never work in the food service industry, nor in a hair salon, nor drive a taxi. And please Lord don't let those words come back to haunt me.
BONUS: Will you still love me for the rest of my life? Of course I will.
Egad. What am I gonna do on Mondays now? No more MM...I'm amazed he kept it up this long. Go Promo!
