Perhaps batman is a bad comparrison.  Robin might be better.  I do so wish i were batman.<\/p>\n<p>I have discovered a liar in my midst.  Mary has &#8220;claimed&#8221; to be a fancier of peter jackson&#8217;s films, but this is but a lie.  She hates&#8230; nay detestes the films on the front of it.  She has the images of what the books are, and apparently can&#8217;t wrap her head around peter jackson&#8217;s interpretations.<\/p>\n<p>They are interpretations, of course.  More like works inspired by tolkien&#8217;s novels.  They are not in fact close to the works themselves.  Where there was fantasy and heroism, there is now shock antics and melodrama.  Is this all together bad?  <\/p>\n<p>I say nay friend.  In the end, i love Lord of the Rings as a book.  If it were to have been made into a movie, i&#8217;d have died from sheer impact as the information was lobbed at my head.  The books were so fucking dense with material, if there wasn&#8217;t the hyped up suspense i&#8217;d probably have fallen asleep.  (Star Wars episode One anyone?, come on you spend the whole movie snoring until the pod racing&#8230; then snore snore snore.. lightsaber dual&#8230; snore snore snore&#8230;. or maybe that was just me and trey)<\/p>\n<p>I digress.  The last two days have been hell.  I&#8217;ve been scrambling putting my thoughts on paper.  Two drafts of my paper were trashed, six pages and four pages respectively.  I know what i&#8217;m arguing, it is just expressing it such that it doesn&#8217;t come off canned and rehearsed.  Not to mention logical.  the arguments are not the most logical i&#8217;ve ever created.  I&#8217;m having problems organizing my thoughts because this might be the last paper i do for a bit.  i kind of feel giddy about the notion of never writing a paper again.  is that wrong?<\/p>\n<p>I do not know.<\/p>\n<p>For way to much information click the below link&#8230;<br \/>\n<!--more--><br \/>\nright or wrong, you should never play hard to get&#8230; or you might just remain hard&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>see?  bah we are all adults here eh?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>i&#8217;m not the biggest fan of the substance.. as most of my friends can attest i don&#8217;t drink a lot.. in fact i drink rarely if at all.. this comes as a problem at parties when everyone is drinking and i am &#8230; not&#8230; but i have methods&#8230; devices i use&#8230; i&#8217;m a common modern [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-163","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-entries"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/happypoet.com\/arglor\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/163","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/happypoet.com\/arglor\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/happypoet.com\/arglor\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/happypoet.com\/arglor\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/happypoet.com\/arglor\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=163"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/happypoet.com\/arglor\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/163\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/happypoet.com\/arglor\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=163"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/happypoet.com\/arglor\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=163"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/happypoet.com\/arglor\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=163"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
