monoceros blogsThe Lord of The Rings returns to New Zealand and stops the nation (or at least a city, Wellington, in this case) for a day. On December 1st, this grand final part of the trilogy will unfold before a 2000-strong audience. Outside, of course, the Embassy Theatre will be surrounded by hundreds (or thousands?) of rabid fans not just from around New Zealand, but from around the world.
Poor souls like me (a wannabe rabid fan) can't get within a hundred miles of Wellington since I have essays to complete and a headache to nurse. It's also tough when your money has been saved for a ticket home to Singapore, and not to Wellington. And school isn't out yet either. Thank goodness for technology - webcams in Wellington! While I attempt to complete my essay in two days, I shall spend my breaks watching streaming videos of the premiere courtesy of stuff.co.nz.
Go here to be part of the premiere (or as close as one can get without being stomped and suffocated by the real diehards).

LOTR is such a huge event, I can't believe how involved I've become. I got so engrossed in the books when I was sixteen, and then now I'm so stuck on the movies! Wish we were watching ROTK on opening day together. *sniff*
