Waiting for the Return of the King

I'm not going to see RotK today. Deep sigh. Actually, this is pretty much by my own choice... I'm intending to go see it in Albuquerque with a friend, but that's a two-hour round trip, plus three hours and change for the movie... And while that would just about be doable tonight, it'd be a bit of tight scheduling getting back here to be at work at 11:45 PM for the start of my shift. Far better, I thought, to do it when I could take my time and enjoy the experience... Grab a pizza beforehand, maybe, go out for coffee and have a long talk about how great the movie was afterward... So I'm planning on catching it Saturday.

And I still think that's a good plan. But, nevertheless, I find myself being terribly, terribly jealous of people who are getting to see it today (or already did last night). Not to mention my friend, Mr. Professional Movie Critic, who's already seen it twice. Bastard.

Still. I have the feeling it's going to be worth it.
