The Two Towers- on the big screen

Quite to my surprise and delight, it turns out that a local theatre in Staunton is participating in the showing of the 3 LotR films on the big screen! One of my choir friends, the woman I sang the duet with last Sunday, treated me to the movie as well as dinner beforehand. It was so much fun! I was so caught up in the moment that I was thinking about trying to get some press involved for the final movie next week, and I might go in costume, try to find other Tolkien fans in the region, stuff like that— and I still may, though today I'm feeling overwhelmed by the other things I'm doing this week. This morning I'm about to go spend time working with the daughter of a woman who cleans for my parents every other week- her daughter doesn't really enjoy reading and I think may have some issues causing that (dyslexia, perhaps). I'm also cleared again to try and donate plasma, then literacy class tomorrow morning, and trying to do meal planning with my stepdad for my mom, who is mostly out of pocket this week due to a week-long conference, and then one of my NYC stepsisters and her husband and 1 year old are coming for the weekend. Oh, and there's also a Sonya Sanchez free poetry reading Friday night, hosted by the poetry center where I was working, so I'll definitely be going to that. So… busy, but good things, all around.

And I started writing on a Tolkien fic! I'm going to take my time with it and see how it develops. New culture for me, and a character I'd not given much thought to prior to the prompt request. Hee.

You all? Hope you're having a good mid-week!
