Re: More on Dom's future projects... should we get excited?

Well, it was good while it lasted... I think. This week it was announced that ABC will be cancelling Flash Forward, and there will not be a series 2. Since it has not had the chance to come over to these shores, I have only ever watched one episode which I happened to catch while on holiday in the U...

Re: Again I am Companionless for New Zealand

Wow, I am so impressed that you can afford another trip so soon. It will be a few years before I can go, if I am lucky. That's mainly due to my ridiculously Spartan attitude towards practically everything for myself, such as books, DVDs, stuff for my house, clothes, and food. I haven't even bought ...

Re: We Are Still Here - woah!

Coming out of lurkdom for a bit to say... CONGRATS TO ALL!! I remember when I first posted on Ye Olde Boards Of Yesteryear, which was on Professor Tolkien's 111th birthday! :-) Less than a year later, I found myself doing things I had never imagined I could, such as overcoming my fear of flying and ...

Photos from Middle-Earth

I finally managed to upload all the digital pictures I have from my Ringer trips (including the latest to New Zealand!) and put them on one website. http://marasringerjourneys.shutterfly.com/ I'm quite proud of my achievement, so if you have the time, please take a look. Some of the pictures were ta...

Re: More on Dom's future projects... should we get excited?

It was announced at Comic Con that Dom will be starring in the new ABC series 'Flash Forward', alongside Joseph Fiennes and Jack Davenport. The premise, based off a book, is that a worldwide blackout gives people a short flash of their future, which they then have to come to terms with. Dom will not...

Again I am Companionless for New Zealand

Another year, another LOTR pilgrimage to New Zealand, and another cancellation by a potential travel companion. I see a pattern emerging... I will be travelling to New Zealand this coming November, to take part in the 12-day LOTR tour by Red Carpet Tours, and hopefully a few other exciting things be...

Re: More on Dom's future projects... should we get excited?

'I Sell The Dead' will be screened at the Imagine Film Festival in Amsterdam on 17, 23 and 24 April. I am trying to organise a Moot, please see Bag End for more info. I have been pretty neglectful in updating this thread, sorry! 'X-Men Origins: Wolverine', will open later this month: 27 April in the...

Anyone in NL up for a Dom Monaghan-centered Moot?

Dominic Monaghan's new film 'I Sell The Dead', of which it was previously announced that it would not be distributed in the Netherlands, is now set to have three exclusive screenings at the Imagine Film Festival in Amsterdam! One of these screenings happens to be on April 24, my birthday, and anothe...

Re: Cat-owning friends: your advice please!

Thanks everyone! I called my vet earlier and described the whole thing to her, and she said that actually, unlike most pets, cats don't have nightmares. They can have little muscle spasms in their sleep but that's pretty much it. She said it sounded like an epileptic attack. Hopefully it'll be an is...

Cat-owning friends: your advice please!

This morning I had the fright of my life when I was woken up by a yowl from one of my cats. At first I thought the two ladies had been tussling, as they often do, but no. Shayley was sitting on the far side of the bed, looking confused, while Ginny was at my feet, lying on her side, twitching and sh...

Re: My New Zealand Ringer Pilgrimage report

Thanks, everyone! Wow, I didn't expect so many people to bother reading my long-winded ramblings about how awesome NZ is. Tolman, is Shutterfly not just for US residents? I'll check it out, though, thanks! Thanks so much, RW! I do a lot of lurking these days, so I haven't responded to your comics, b...

Re: My New Zealand Ringer Pilgrimage report

I do indeed have pictures, about 300 of them, actually. I have no idea how to put them online, though. It'd probably be faster for you to come over here and see them, than for me to try to figure out how to post them! :wink:

Avondster, a Day Off, and the Printer of Doom

So, I had a day off and thought it was a good idea to start working on my New Zealand scrapbook. I'd bought two big albums, new printer cartridges, photo stickies, assembled all the other stuff I wanted to put in it, put on some music, and set to work. After 1 page, my printer died on me. It is now ...
