What's your favorite soundtrack?

I love lots of soundtracks, but these are my mostest favorite.

Anne of Green Gables

L. M. Montgomery

Just started this new audiobook today.

Still in Chapter 2.

Oh             My              God

shut...up...already

The Fellowship of the Ring (BBC Dramatization)

J.R.R. Tolkien

I had to take a break and go back to the BBC adaptation of The Fellowship of the Ring.

I finished the BBC Hobbit last week, which I really liked, in spite of the sound effect oddities. I am loving FOTR, however. The sound effects are better (except the Black Riders' horses...still too electronic to be convincing), and the script is fantastic. Most of the dialogue is lifted verbatim from the book.

The script is vastly superior to Peter Jackson's LOTR, too. But then, heck, Bakshi's animated film had a better script than Jackson's films.

The odd thing about this adaptation is that I recognize so many of the voices, so it's funny to hear Bilbo playing Frodo, King Lear playing Gandalf, Pistol playing Aragorn, Inspector Morse's Super playing Barliman Butterbur, and bespectacled Old Joe playing Gollum. (Bonus point to whoever can identify all of those!)

...and that storm warnings are important.

But is there any reason why the storm warning can't scroll across the bottom of the TV screen instead of blacking the entire screen out? Or couldn't you at least localize the warnings, so that it's actually applicable to the people you're warning? If it's 100 miles away from Denver and moving in the other direction, we really don't need to hear about it.

Thank you.

I just heard that Sammy, a sweet little black kitty that I've housesat for a number of times over the last seven years (along with Wily, her kitty "brother," and Jake and Pepper, her doggie friends) went to the rainbow bridge this morning. :*(

She'd been unwell for a while, and last time I saw her a couple months ago, she'd lost a lot of weight. So she's finally free of pain, and that's good. But she was such a sweetie, and I'll miss her a lot.

I think I have a photo of her at home. I'll have to look tonight and post it.

I didn't shoot the neighbor's damn carpool for honking their horn under my window at 7:00 a.m. AGAIN.
