skanking to the song of the puppy bees

And the song of the puppy bees is really that song from Lord of the Rings when Gandalf is galloping across Rohan. You know. Dun, dun dun dun, dun-dun!

Eighteen months. I've been blogging for eighteen months. That's a year and a half. This blog is like my extremely whiny part-time child, who ought to be walking quite well by himself now, except that somehow he's still dependent on me for posts.

That could have been the best metaphor ever. But when it came out, it just sounded silly.

People portraits: oddly intimate. Self-portraits: pretty hysterical. It feels odd to be in a class full of people who are inspecting their own faces. It's like they forgot to wash their faces or perform ablutions that morning and are making up for it by three full hours of intense face-examination.

Amish Paradise
? almost as good as the puppy bee song.

That was the Fellowship theme music. They play it frequently throughout the film: when the Fellowship is hiking through Beleriand; when Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli decide to hunt down the Urukhai; when the beacons signal the Rohirrim to come (altough then it's slightly morphed to be the Gondor theme).
