It has come at last, the second great movie of our time!

I realized the other day that I've now known a woman I met at the first showing of The Two Towers for ten years! Has it been that long? We won't be doing any midnight showings of The Hobbit, thank you, but will try to make a showing next Friday. We're aiming to start with the 2D 24 fps, firstly so the unaccustomed format won't distract from the story and characters, secondly because I'm prone to migraines and would like to get a few reports about how migraine-erific either the 3D or the 48 fps is before I go there. I know I won't be grabbed by this trilogy the way I was grabbed by the LotR trilogy, since LotR's always been my favorite of the books. But I'll enjoy the heck out of it. Meanwhile, I have novel-revisions to do, and Christmas cards to address. This year I had cards made up with the photo of the Gaffer and me in Hobbiton, in front of Bag End, that I've posted on TORn more than once. It's been a whole year since we were there, sigh. I'll grab a gingerbread latte, please, and get back to work, if not without sneaking frequent peeks at The Hobbit board. (And by the way, please excuse Miss Professional Speller here, but it is PEEK! A "peak" is what the Lonely Mountain is. ) *stuffs tip jar with glitter from our front-door wreath, which looked a lot smaller in the store...*
