Welcome to Monday! I have been taking it way easy since I found out how sick I am. I can pretend I'm not so sick, till I find out how sick I REALLY am. Then I need to take care of me. So...I am...taking care of me.
It was relatively easy since The Lad was gone all weekend. I mostly just laid around and watched The Lord of the Rings, trilogy.
I read those books when I was 21, and lived with my brothers in San Bernardino. Jones got me started on them. I think he may have been reading them for High School. He gave me all four books as a gift...birthday...I think.
I remember when the movies first came out. I remember that Viggo Mortensen said he had never read those books...but his son, Henry, had. When he was asked to be in the movie, he almost said no. Henry said that Viggo had to do it, or he would be sorry he passed it up. It is good to listen to your kids, sometimes.
Also, Viggo was married to Exene Chervenko. She was the singer for the Punk band, X. I find it amusing that two people, with exotic names, name their child such a plain name. I wouldn't call it a common name, but it is certainly old school. I wonder if they call him Hank.
Shortly after Viggo finished the trilogy, he did the movie, HIDALGO. I read he now owns the horse he had in that movie. The Mustang. I am just a wealth of knowledge about stuff that really doesn't matter...but is interesting. At least it is interesting to me.
