The defences will hold

This post has nothing to do with the war. It's about the fact that yesterday I saw The Two Towers for the fourth time. Still loved it. And I had no hostility towards Eowyn whatsoever. The demons have been appeased and I am much less of an irrational hater of characters in flims. Let's all take a moment an applaud my big step.

In other news, best girlfriend Laura sent me a link to a group I fear I have to join. The Lip Balm Anonymous homepage is the place to start your recovery when you're trying to separate yourself from that tub of blistex or stick of labello (Laura reports that Labello has started to offer a stick with a bit of shimmer. Oohhhhh. It's hard for me to know what I want more: this lip blam, :-), or that Revlon 3 day lash tint.) If you find yourself clinging to your lip blam as though it were the one ring (I may have been caught calling my L'Occitane Wild Rose "precious" from time to time...) you should visit this site and start getting the help that you need.

Just don't try an intervention with me. I'm beyond help. I am bound to the blam, but you may be able to save yourselves.

So beautiful, so bright, so moisturizing...
