Heehee, hello everyone! For once, Stephopho is NOT the one updating this web journal! It is I, ANDREW THE (amazing) PIRATE, who has somehow managed to sneak in here and take over without her ever knowing!!! ...Okay, so we were bored and she said I could add an entry to break the tedium of our daily lives. Oh well. ANYway, time for an update on the incredible saga that is the life of ANDREW (and not Stephopho).

Today was a fantastically wonderful day. It all started at home, in my nice warm bed, waking up at the crack of noon in a room free of any taint of college stink. My kitty was on my belly, purring cutely, and the brother I share a room with had long since gone off to school. I got up, and within an hour I had watched the new ZIM Christmas special (Jhonen Vasquez is a bloody lunatic, but I love him) and set up plans to see The Two Towers with some good friends who I hadn't seen for a long time. We then went, and as you've probably heard repeatedly by now, it was awesome. The fights were fightariffic, the characters were wonderfully performed, and the ents were ents, which automatically makes them inconcievably excellent. Just don't go to see it unless you've already read the book. It's a great supplement, but if you aren't at least somewhat familiar with the Two Towers story, you'll be washed away in a flood of strange names and faces. After the movie, I went back home, had a mom-cooked meal, and walked the dog, whereupon I realized life was wonderful and beautiful and that I should really let the little things slide more often. Finally, I badgered Stephopho into letting me write this. All in all, a very good day. Now, let's see how hers went...
