lantairvleaSo package from Amarok arrived today, it sits upon my bed looking rather tempting.
Work was rather short today as it rained last night and drizzled this morning (too bad it wasn't some 30-odd degrees cooler, ne?). Ended up just grooming and putting the horses in the Arena with hay and water before mucking the stalls.
Went to a somewhat early showing of LotR-RotK with Mus (around 12.45). Before we went she gave me my Christmas present. She handed over the book with a rather suspiscious, evil grin and said "since David's coming home next year, you might need this." I didn't know whether to laugh out loud or shake my fists at the suggestion. The book is titled as such: Our Temple Wedding Planner. "You know, I'm tempted just to throw this at you." Muss replied with a mesh between a cackle and a laugh. She also got me a "Gratitude Journal" or somesuch. Harr, I'd say I can't believe she did that, but some gag gift of the sort was indeed expected.
I was rather surprised in RotK to notice that the Clydesdale (for that is what I definately believe the draft I saw is) kept up with the lighter horses. Also noticed that there were a few other horses that had light feathering, almost Friesian-like feathering, not the heavy stuff that Clydesdales and Shires have, but the thinner and covering less of the hoof and fetlock, not really extending up to the "knees" and hocks as in the Clydes.
Pretty sure ShadowFax is either a Lippizaner or an Andalusian cross. Trying to decide whether or not they switched horses once or twice because I could have sword I'd seen him with a snip one time. Here's a little thing as well, if ShadowFax is Lord of Horses or somesuch . . . why does he have shoes? Or at least in the movie he does. Realized it when they arrived at Minas Tirith and I said to myself "hey, those sound like sod feet" and spent much of the time trying to determine if this was so. And it was.
Anyway, I'm rambling. The movie was good, again, and Muss rather enjoyed it and there were quite a few exchanges during the show (some rather sarcastic, but humerous just the same). I'm not sure how annoyed the people sitting near us were getting, but we managed to keep it fairly quiet despite laughing in a few places that didn't actually call for laughter (but we found funny anyways either due to reading the book(s) or because of our own odd humors).
Merry Christmas all!
