Well, I'm back...

[sildil]

1. Went to London.
2. Spent FAR, FAR more than I should have at 'Forbidden Planet', Virgin Megastores and small rather specialist DVD and bookshop off Charing Cross Road that has old silent movies etc.
3. MET MASTER erestor!!!! Ate, shopped and went to see 'The Aviator' which was surprisingly good. I only say surprisingly because I am not a great fan of L De C, but he was very good and Cate Blanchet was excellent as Katherine Hepburn - she had the mannerisms and voice off perfectly.
4. Spent ALL DAY at Barbican and saw all three LotR films one after the other. I had forgotten just how bloody good they were on the big screen, and while it was a marathon event and the cushion I took was very useful, It was wonderful seeing them as a whole and they flowed together very well indeed. I MUST say though the Barbican Centre itself was an awful place. The food was indifferent, and being where it was there was no alternative, the staff were by and large indifferent and the toilets.....!
5. Had nice chat with Dad and his wife (where I was staying) and then returned home, singing loudly to Placebo all the way in the car.
6. Checked on over 100 emails on arrival!! What HAVE you guys been doing at TRGO?!?!

Argh! Reminds me of when I woke up the other morning and you guys had managed 51 bloody posts overnight! Overnight!

Glad you had fun! Sounds like an absolute blast :D :D

It was fantastic, and by the way, as a by product of my trip to 'Forbidden Planet', I have a whole new idea of how to draw the Maglor/Daeron pic! As they say, 'watch this space'!

Ooooh! Shiny! *is all excited now* *can't wait to see*

[sildil]

You will have to wait till I have caught up with real life, but I have scribbled some little thumbnails...

Sounds like you had a great time! I'm quite jealous! :)

[sildil]

It was very good, thank you!

[jaiden-s.livejournal.com]

You're back!! I expect all kinds of details about the fun stuff you did/ate/saw!

[sildil]

Oh you will CERTAINLY get it!

[ilye-elf.livejournal.com]

Yay! You had a good time as well! Do tell/show me all ;)

[sildil]

Have done!

[ilye-elf.livejournal.com]

No, really? And there was me thinking I imagined the whole phone call.

[sildil]

Oh, but you did...it's all an illusion....

[ilye-elf.livejournal.com]

Which would make you a figament of my imagination... damn, I need to get medicated!

[sildil]

I'm afraid there is nothing that can be done for you, not now its got this bad! Imagining punk-elf middle aged ladies talking to you on the phone? I ask you....

OK, I'll bite. What, pray tell, is a TRGO when it's home?

[sildil]

TRGO is the small group that Uli set up for those of us who decided to leave NM to play around in and 'finish off' some of the stuff we had been playing there. We had all made friends and it seemed a shame to lose that, not everyone has joined, just the sad few who like to waste their time role playing!

[feanaros-house.livejournal.com]

Thank you. First we have heard of it. It is always humbling but perhaps salutary for the ego to know when one has slipped off the A list.

I wish you well in catching up on your game.

Maglor

[sildil]

Oh dear, nothing of the sort, it isn't a 'list', its just that post-'ambar metta', or whatever the first bit was called, when you left, a few of us who had played intensively for a long time wanted to finish off our threads and develop characters we had grown fond of. It wasn't really a new game as such and as I said, not everyone joined, only those sad enough to want to do it.

I am so jealous. Not only did you get to see all three of the movies on the big screen back to back, but you got to meet Erestor. I want so badly to meet the both of you. And Tux. And Eni. And Ilye. And.....

[sildil]

LOL It was good fun meeting Erestor, she was just as I had imagined!
