LOTR toys...

Yesterday maboroshimaki and I went to The Silver Snail, Ottawa's best comic book shop, and spent a lot of time browsing.

They had some terrific new Lord of the Rings action figures. None of the Aragorns look quite right, in my opinion; I was tempted by Eomer, but no more. There were some Batman graphic novels that I had even more trouble resisting. I didn't know Warren Ellis ever wrote Batman stories!

Today we went to another store and found something we'd never seen before: the action figures of Galadriel and Eowyn. Both are lovely. maboroshimaki bought both. I held off (regretting my lack of funds) but I'm hoping that they have good material in the dealers' room at the Tolkien Gathering in Toronto in December. I particularly love the Eowyn figure. But then, I particularly love Eowyn.

I'm watching the Smallville episode "Hug" right now. Such warm and sexy looks between Lex and Clark....

I let the green budgies Wisdom, Simon and Domino out of their cages. Wisdom and Simon are sitting on the top of their cage right now, perfectly happy to be there. Domino is practising flying. He really needs the practice: his aim isn't very good, and his trajectories leave something to be desire. He's having fun, though. The joy of freedom. Singing happily on the curtain-rod: Look at me! Look at me!

What a nice, lazy Sunday. But I have to get a few things done.

LOL, what a happy image! My childhood budgie loved sitting on the curtain-rod. His second choice spot was on the piano keys, where he would run up and down, stopping every now and then to peck at the black keys. *g*

It is a happy image. I'm sure if I had a piano, Domino would find something like that to do - and I'd probably be running after him with a camera!

Budgies are such cheerful creatures, and so curious. Or just adventurous.
