Overheard at Chapters, Saturday afternoon. Two women walking around the bookshelves, their voices quavery with Starbuck's rocket fuel jiggling in their veins:
"Oh, that movie. Did you see that movie? That was stupid."
"Which one?"
"That one. It didn't end. It was one of those movies that didn't end."
"Really?"
"Yeah. Apparently there was like one before it? I didn't see it. And so I didn't know what was going on in this one. And it didn't end."
"Wow."
"Yeah, and there was like another one after it. But when I saw it, I couldn't remember what happened in the other one before it, the one that I saw. It was stupid."
"Yeah. Some movies are stupid."
They move on. Blogger, who has been staring resolutely at the bookshelf before him, turns to see what they were looking at.
It's the photo picture book of The Lord of The Rings: The Two Towers.

I have to get out more and stalk life like you do.
I'm guessing these ladies somehow broke through the security perimeter that keeps them in the Danielle Steele collection?
Wow, you mean there are novelizations of the 'Lord of the Rings' movies? Ah, I'll just stick with the comic book adaptations. They aren't too long.
