Does the Body Good

Now if this doesn't make you feel better after the torential down pours, nothing will. I live in Vancouver and rain is a fact of life. I'm usually ok with it, grumbling more or less the same as everyone else. The last couple of weeks of multiple days of hard rain was really getting to me. Maybe I've been spoiled because of the sunny winter last year, maybe it's because I've been fighting a headcold with varied success. What ever, todays weather was just what I needed.

Saw "Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Rings" last night. It did the spirit good, but my head cold flaired up - undoubtedly because the show wasn't over till 1am. The movie was very good. Not insanely excellent, but very good. In other words, I'd pay to see it again but am ok if I don't. Definitely something you want to see once on the big screen, though. The special effects were subtle and amazing. You'd swear John Rhys-Davis, who plays Gimli, is really 4 1/2 feet tall in real life!
