oh, so we dropped into bookland (and suncoast, and the cd store, and this home decor one that should just have been called big momma's house o' tacky, but all these are beside the point) and i looked at the new ttt bookmarks. legolas & gimli: one bookmark. merry & pippin? one. frodo & sam? ONE.

after i got done squeeing, i said to mommy, 'what are they trying to suggest?'

'not what you're thinking,' she retorted, and kissed my cheek.

but. !!! and then i saw they had galadriel, and i *pounced* on it, because, as i said to mommy, if you're the bearer of a ring of power, and you have your very own bookmark with a little piece of metal on it, SHOULDN'T THAT PIECE OF METAL BE THE RING OF POWER?* it was a gold swan.

...

a gold. swan.

swan. boats, yes. but. gold! ::hops around:: wtf! ::spits::

and then all the rohirrim came with little ~~chess pieces~~ horse heads, and the m/p and l/g ones with mini fellowship brooches, which would be nice if they weren't like beads. what, are people collecting these to make the world's geekiest charm bracelet or something? if anyone talks to pj, please let him know that i am not pleased.

* in case anyone has missed it, I WANT NENYA.
