Mind the gap.

23 August 2004

So we made it to Boston despite the strange mid-morning traffic and saw the Exhibit. There were lots of props, weaponry, and costumes. Galadriel's beaded dress was so amazingly gorgeous in 'person' that it almost hurt to look at. Even though I knew how much detail was put into everything in the films, it was still amazing to see it all up close and personal. The armour was great, as were the Bigatures and the forced-perspective greenscreen. The dead-Boromir-in-a-Lórien-boat was so realistic! It looked like Sean Bean in person.

After leaving the Exhibit we drove to the Braintree mall to get lunch. We ended up eating at Uno's and being served by a waiter who did not look like Elijah, despite what Justine, Rhiannon, and the mother said!

We made our way home, and I took up my book and sat down on the futon to get some more summer reading done.

...

I ended up falling asleep for around 3ish hours, but kept being woken up by the phone ringing or people calling me or my pup licking my face without cessation. Once I finally got up, I found myself in a horrible mood, which I'm sure my family appreciated. So now I feel rather crappy and I don't even think I really want to go to the beach with a bunch of people tomorrow. Damned social events. I'll just be moody and rude to everyone, and I doubt they'd appreciate it.

I'm also a little... what's the right word... not surprised, not upset... I don't know. Just, the summer is almost at an end and I don't really feel much of anything, except perhaps a bit of regret at the way things have gone and how weird it's all been. You may know what I'm talking about... it's just been very confusing.

Well. Now that I've managed to make myself feel even worse, I'll stop.

Goodnight.
