Duuude.

So that's how they're gonna do the next movie. *rubs her head* My poor, poor brain with all this wrapping.

In other news, James Marsters and Sean Bean were about due for an Italian gay drama, no?

Aragorn is 87, eh? Yow. I'd love me some of what's in that Middle Earth water. The director's cut of Two Towers will run three hours and forty-three minutes, with this notable addition from USAToday.com for mah girls:

Bean's ring-craving Boromir, slain at the end of 2001's The Fellowship of the Ring, is resurrected in a lengthy DVD flashback after brother Faramir (David Wenham) finds a boat bearing his body.

Not only is there more Bean to savor, but the twisted emotional ties that ensnare ruler Denethor (New Zealand actor John Noble, who officially joins the cast in King), his favorite son, Boromir, and scapegoat Faramir also are exposed.

Also, I got a good chuckle out of a Sun article about four men arrested for stealing copies of the fifth Harry Potter book. I mean, yes, theft, and yes, they did sell it to the tabloids, but it's books, kids, and therefore just that amusingly incongruous.

Day Twelve

All the way, baby.

Uhm, I think it's about time for a promise of diversification in authors. On my behalf, I didn't know who wrote this as it only existed as an HTML file in a folder of recs until I Googled it. I also have not finished it, but lord almighty, the things I've read so far. *fans self*

The Floating World by Amber

"So what do you call me?" JC thought of the etiquette instructor he'd studied with in the city, the long dull gray-white curve of his mustache, and the yellow whites of his eyes, the way he'd said, "Once I'm done with you, you won't be such a country fool, boy." Even he hadn't known of houses like this, had taught that only with careful and dedicated work could one hope to attain one's own servant. JC hadn't done anything yet, and already he had someone to serve him.

"What you are to the Lady," the boy said in a mixture of surprise and admonition. "Her Beloved."

Hi, my name is Jules, and I am Sucker Extraordinaire for AUs. Throw in the added bonus of JC as a concubine to Britney who's in love with her Stewart, Joey (!), and the dangerous bandit, Chris, and you've got me till the wee hours of whenever it'll take me to finish.
