It is - she's one of my favorite actors. I saw Time Traveler's Wife opening night and balled my eyes out. It was absolutely amazing. Go see it. Like, right now.

Well, I don't know about that...but I'm sure eventually I'll get to it. I don't go to the theaters that often, quite expensive. I still haven't even seen Half-blood Prince and that is above everything else.

Oi, I meant it! I hate that most people spell it with one. I know it's not 'wrong', but it looks weird to me.

And get off your bum and see Half-Blood Prince before I drive there and drag you to a theater myself.



Sorry for being random; trying to wake up again since I've been drifting off for the last hour. The Shasta post is in the tab next to this one, so don't think I've forgotten! (Unfortunately, like Brinn, there's not a lot to say about him. This makes me sad.)

We went to see it, but I think the projectionist must have gotten mixed up and played The Fellowship of the Ring instead...

Blasphemy! I went to the midnight release with Lari and blew about 30 dollars on it, ticket and Redvines included.

Sally, traveller has two L's in it? Who knew?

My roommate went to the mid-night release...not sure what I was doing that night.

It's quite funny because that's what wilwa is leaving to see, and I'm pretty sure she spelled it with 1 L....now I'm terribly confused

It can be spelled either way. I believe the movie title is with one, though I spell it with two because it looks better to me. Also, is that the UK way to spell it? 'Cause that might explain why I'm weird and spell it that way. Never know.


And I digress. Back to Shasta.

Microsoft Word says it's spelled with one L...

Wow! There sure is a lot of productive talk going on *glares at Boromir*

Now, I've been keeping this in the back of my mind since day 1 but haven't done much about it yet. However, I notice some are picking up on it too so I'd like to mention what I've noticed about Formendacil. I've reread many of his post just recently to either help persuade is dissuade my suspicion of him. What I decided is he looks more villainous than before. One of the recurring themes that kept being woven into many posts was his past. He kept referring to this is how he always does things, or when something was not normal he made a point to show us that it wasn't normal. Either way he kept trying to tell us he is overall acting very normal and trying reassure us when he doesn't. Ordos don't worry about that stuff.

++Formendacil


I am almost certain he is our bear and that Sally and Atume are wolves.

I am almost certain he is our bear and that Sally and Atume are wolves.
While, admittedly, I am on nearly a full hour later than I expected to be (I am totally blaming the used bookstore, especially since anyone here who disapproves of getting a copy of Tolkien's Pictures is an Inktomi Slurp Spider and deserves death!), but I'm still highly--very highly--amused that after bothering to warn against an Inziladun-vote-for-Morm (ie. saying when I'd be back), I get almost that.

Really, though, Morm, you're memory is grossly flawed if you don't remember that I constantly refer to normal playing styles. Granted, my own playing style can hardly be called "normal" when I play about 2 games a year, but even so, having recently gone through old games to update my Grimoire just after the last game, I feel confident in saying this is normal. You can either take my word for it, or read through half a dozen old and buried threads to confirm it.

I'm rather more miffed that you voted for me after sparing me so little attention--a couple of minor "Form looks a touch suspicious"-type posts early toDay, and lots of banter then about other stuff, and then this is as in-depth as I get? The old Morm would have given me the full police-style breakdown.

Oh wait... there's another reference to the old days. My abject apologies.

Okay, so a serious post for now. I've got class at 7 tonight that goes until 10, so I'm going to have to decide my vote (or no-vote) within the next few hours. So, a narrowed down list for now:

Durelin - what I posted earlier still stands - why did she vote based only on the three way tie?
morm - I had a hunch about him yesterDay, but was surprised to see that other people voted for him, too. I think I stated it was just a hunch. I'm less certain of his being evil after re-reading through Day 2, however.
autume - People think she's being chummy, I think it's just being nice. We're turning out to have a similar style so far. Still keeping an eye out, as she could be a newbie wolf, but that's less than a hunch right now.
Sally - I honestly believe it was just a mistake, though her attempt to explain it all out has created quite some confusion and, consequently, some suspicion from me.
Nerwen - unsure, but keeping an eye on her
Lommy - Grateful comment still bugs me, but other than that, I don't have a whole lot of suspicion for her at this point

Morm, you just made me postpone my bed-time and go to read through Form's posts to see whether what you say makes sense and whether my fix idée is grounded or not.

The voice of dead Fea (who is currently re-reading the book) says "One. Don't tell me anything about it (the movie). Two. Go read the darned book."

Ok... back to ww. So I'm thinking this thing between Sally and Rikae is possibly just two ordos not agreeing and latching onto suspicions. I went through all of Sally's posts and she doesn't seem like the wolf/baddie-Sally that I have seen and called out in previous games.

Shasta still worries me. He hasn't been around very much and what he has done while around has been quite suspicious... especially his voting. I look forward to an analysis of him as I don't have time to do one myself.

That I have accomplished. I was hoping to get through the Deathly Hallows this summer, but seeing as I start in a week, and I have a more important book to get through, that won't happen.
