Sunday Sundae Sunday
Well Sunday turned out to be quite the exciting day, even though I did practically nothing all day and in fact I barely got out of bed. It felt good to just have a day to do nothing, that doesn't come around very often and I'm glad that my wife allowed me the option. Of course I think she was just happy to have me out of the way not providing a distraction as she worked on her project.
The Dallas Stars won, despite playing the most horrid second period where they went down 4-1. Steadily and much to my happiness they clawed and scrapped their way back into it for a 5-4 OT win. You gotta be happy with that Stars fans.
I know there will be a lot of people who hate this and roll their eyes at it, but I was ecstatic that Lord of the Rings went eleven for eleven last night. I know my bestest and loverly friend D was going nuts as they won statue after statue. But I'm one of those freaks who has actually watched all of the extended DVD 4-disc sets and watched both extended films with commentary. I was so very impressed with the massive scale, the attention to the craziest detail and the unparalleled hard work that went on in the making of these three movies. So, I for one, think that these awards were very well deserved.
If it makes anyone feel better though, those of you who didn't care for the films, I don't think Return of the King would have garnered such accolades had it not had the weight of the other two films behind it. It was a bit unfair, in that so many great films came out this year and they had to compete with a monster work like the trilogy.
