Ding dong, the witch is dead...

Well, apparently we got 'im. I hardly expect to be the first livejournaller to point it out or to comment on it: we finally got Saddam, after a long and arduous search. I guess all those people playing the "get Saddam" Starcraft maps can stop now.

I can almost feel sorry for the man, knowing the media circus that's going to surround him now. Do we try him ourselves, do we hand him over to Iraq, what do we do with him? But thinking back to all the things he did over the course of his reign, well...he made his own bed of nails, now let him lie on it.

Wonder what this is going to do to the anti-war and anti-anti-war (you can't really say "pro-war" since the actual "war" is over) movements? Provide a new focal point, I guess.

Well, I DO have trouble sleeping sometimes...

Congratulations! You're Sam!


Which Lord of the Rings character and personality problem are you?

"Don't mess with the Hobbit, man, he'll CUT you!"

Well, the parents came up, and we went to see the extended The Two Towers in the theater today. It was a most excellent movie, even more so than the original theatrical-length version. The restored scenes add a lot more depth to certain characters, and restore events either mentioned in the book or in homage to incidents in the book from different places. Perhaps I'll write something longer about it later on, when I'm not so drowsy. Suffice it to say that I'm really glad to have had the chance to see both extended cuts theatrically. I'm only sad that I won't be able to do the "trilogy Tuesday" thing and see them all in one go...and that I'll have to wait until Sunday to see Return of the King. And that I have a full week of work starting tomorrow...oh well.
