Under your seats you will find a cassette for recording your last-minute testament, and from above your head a bag will drop containing sedatives and cyanide capsules.

Jack -- This is random????

Oh my goodness Jack ... it's much too early in the day for express crash-landing lifts. But that you for the cyanide capsules.

Me too. We should draw something together, like a picture of a crazy ferret, or maybe that weird koolaid pitcher guy.

I vote for the Koolaid Pitcher guy. The ferret's too fast moving to make a good model....

There. I got to feeling so arty… a new avatar.

I kind of miss Godzilla already, though…

Well, they do both have something in common: They both look like they're about to cause a panic....

I kind of miss Godzilla already ... it's that big toothy grin .. gets me every single time.

I find that my mouth often takes me places my brain wishes I didn't go.

On that one you are most definitely not alone....

[Nesacat]

My heart and mouth both ... it's a conspiracy.

The Bridge of Khazad Dum ... am listening to the soundtrack and found myself holding my breath. It sweeps and leaps and sprints along and my heart's pounding, pounding ... am going to do it again.

Yes, I know what you mean there... but I don't know as I'd change it, nonetheless...

That one, and the sighting of the Argonath.... Do not have the soundtrack as a separate thing (which I should) but that does remain one of my favorites. Full of complex emotions, that one.... Beautiful range of broad, sweeping (good choice there) brush strokes and smaller, more intimate subtleties.... Howard Shore is definitely a special man, in my book....

A friend gave me the boxed set of the soundtrack for Christmas. She got herself one and me one. Ah yes the Argonath ... am hopelessly in love with the one on the left.

You go for the sinister, do you?....

[Nesacat]

He's not sinister at all. He's all lean and chiselled .... ummm yes ... literally as well. Nothing compared to Ithaqua who wins hands down every time though.

Ah. Well, no, not sinister in the modern sense. But you did say the one on the left, yes?... Not the right? Just being ambiguous about ambidextry....*wink*
