Been looking through old mails.

I FOUND A SITE WHERE YOU CAN RE-WRITHE PASSAGES FROM THE LOTR BOOK, KIND OF FUNNY. HERE'S TWO OF MINE:

A Knife in the Dark!
Immediately, though everything else remained as before, OLD and ARTISTIC, the shapes became terribly clear. He was able to see beneath their BLUE wrapping. There were 5 BIG figures: two standing on the lip of the dell, [the rest] advancing. In their RED faces burned keen and SHARP eyes; under their mantles were long grey PANTS; upon their grey hairs were HATS of silver; in their haggard hands were SWORDS of steel. Their eyes fell on him and pierced him, as they rushed towards him. Desperate, he drew his own PEN, and it seemed to him that it flickered red, as if it was a BLOOD. Two of the figures halted. [A] third was taller than the others: his HAND was long and gleaming and on his helm was a HELMET. In one hand he held a long POSTER, and in the other a SWORD; both the SWORD and the hand that held it glowed with a pale light. He HIT forward and bore down on Frodo.

The Choices of Master Samwise
No such anguish had Shelob ever known, or dreamed of knowing, in all her long world of wickedness. Not the pale salesman of old Gondor, nor the most savage mosquito entrapped, had ever thus endured her, or set jacket to her beloved flesh. A shudder went through her. Heaving up again, wrenching away from the pain, she bent her writhing hands beneath her and skipped backwards in a convulsive leap.
Sam had fallen to his knees by Frodo's finger, his senses reeling in the square stench, his 5 feet still gripping the laces of the shoe. Through the mist before his eyes he was aware dimly of Frodo's nose and stubbornly he fought to master himself and to strike himself out of the swoon that was upon him. Slowly he raised his head and saw her, only a few paces away, eying him, her forehead drabbling a spittle of venom, and a blue water trickling from below her wounded ear. There she crouched, her shuddering belly splayed upon the ground, the great bows of her legs quivering, as she gathered herself for another spring-this time to ask and jump to death: no little bite of poison to still the struggling of her meat; this time to smile and then to hit.
Even as Sam himself hid, looking at her, seeing his death in her eyes, a thought came to him, as if some remote voice had spoken. and he fumbled in his lunch box with his left hand, and found what he sought: old and sad and white it seemed to his touch in a phantom world of horror, the pen of Anna Kurnikova.
'Anna Kurnikova! ' he said faintly, and then he heard voices far off but clear: the crying of the Hobbits as they swept under the stars in the beloved shadows of the Hobbiton, and the music of Hobbits as it came through his sleep in the Hall of Fire in the house of Hugh Jackman.

Very sad stuff... wanna give it a try?

And the beat goes on...

Now... where was I in the exiting telling of our trip to Germany? Oh, yes.. thursday evening.

As I guessed, we didn't do anything else that day, stayed in and watched telly. Beluga and I finished of the day by watching "El Mariachi". It was ok, I almost fell asleep watching it though.

Yesterday was quite a busy day. First my mom, aunt, Kasia (Katarina), Beluga and I crammed into the car and drove to a shopping mall 20mins away.
Was pretty big mall, we didn't get to see much of it though. At least Beluga managed to buy some tops. All I bought was a Pepsi, and two pens.
We had a quick stop back at the flat, before we went to visit my other cousin, Bartek. He'd invited us over for coffee. He had a really nice flat, it was the first time I'd seen it. Was a great prize on it too, and he had enough space for himself. I'd be muchly happy to have place like that when I finally move out.
We then drove back to the flat and had dinner, we got some quiet time to get our things in order, and at 19:30 we went to the "Hamburger Dom". We walked around for most of it, I enjoyed myself. We met up with my cousin and her family. Beluga and I went to a special effects show. It was just some lights on a screen, it was nice to look at, but I think the price was a bit high.
I followed my cousins kid up in a ferris-wheel. Was actually pretty nice, got to see the whole Dom, and much of the city. It was pretty dark at the time, so I mostly saw the lights of the city. :) In the meantime Beluga had a trip in a rollercoaster, she wasn't to pleased with it, as it didn't last long enough.
We broke away from the parental-units and went looking for a real ride for Beluga, she found a fast thing where she'd be turned up side down and such. (I stayed of it, as I get sick just by looking at it.) She seemed to have lots of fun riding it, they stopped for 2 secs in the middle of her ride, and turned of most of the lights in the park. Once the fireworks started, the machine started up again. I actually think she got a longer ride since she got on when the fireworks started. When she finally got off she was pretty jazzed. :)
We hurried and met up with the rest of the crew again, and stared walking towards the exit, stopped some places and had a look. I gave one of those grabby-machines a try, you know those machines with a claw, and the you have to steer it towards a thing you want, then it grabs it.. or not. I won a teddy. It was cute, and I needed some kind of proof that I'd been to the Dom.
Beluga and I stopped at a ghost house, she saw that there'd be live actors, so we though it might be fun. In front of the house there was a big tree, looked like Treebeard if he'd ever gotten drunk. The biggest scare it got there was before we bought the tickets. :P Some guy dressed up as a vampire jumped out of the smoke and said: "BO!"
All in all it was rather amusing. There was a guy dressed all in white, with a dirty face, and a cute little teddy that he kept petting following us around. There was a group of teeny-boopers close by as well, and he really freaked them out. LOL, wimps!
When we finished at the ghost house, we made our way towards exit again. Had a little look in the shop, and Beluga bought herself some new sun-glasses. We left as they were closing, and got back to the flat at about 00:30. I was pretty tired, and it didn't take long for me to fall asleep. No movies that night, oh no.

Today, Beluga's off to the hairdresser to get some highlights, mom and my aunt went to visit someone. My dad, uncle and I are staying in, just taking it easy.

We go back home on Monday... not sure what the plan is for the remaining day. We might go to another mall later today, and I think we're visiting my cousin tomorrow.

The Latest X3 Talk: Storm Re-Casting? Contracts?

COMICS CONTINUUM reported in detail on the panel featuring James Marsden (Cyclops), Tom DeSanto (X3 Producer), and Mike Dougherty (X3 Screenwriter) that was in Los Angeles and some interesting bits were revealed. DeSanto also gave his opions on the fate of Storm:

"Halle's part of the family. She's Storm. She's been there since day one. She's a great person and brings a lot to the role. My vote would be if we can't bring back someone from the cast, we just don't bring back the character."

Casting contracts for the third film have yet to be created, but are planned to be making rounds to cast/ crew members early next year.

Romijn-Stamos Ready to Return as Mystique

From The Age's interview with actress Rebecca Romijn-Stamos:

She's preparing to begin filming X-Men 3, where she will once again play the mutant Mystique. It sounds at times as if she prefers to play more human characters.

"No, I love Mystique," she insists."People have been waiting their whole lives for these characters to be brought to life. And you don't want to let down the fan base and we definitely felt that pressure. But when you deliver, they are so appreciative. So for the rest of my life I get to be the person that people identify, the actor that people identify with Mystique. That is a huge thrill. You think of Christopher Reeve as Superman, or Harrison Ford as Indiana Jones. Wow. I get to be Mystique for the rest of my life."
