I do not like you, new update page

[bluejeans07]

I don't like a lot of changes with LJ, especially that little box that appears when my cursor hovers over the icon. It's annoying on a mac especially when I want to open something in tabs!

Anyway, various things. If any of you are interested, please watch the Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson on Friday night! Tom Kenny, the voice actor for SpongeBob, will be a guest on the show and they will be airing a few clips of SpongeBob along with him. I got to select and edit those clips together! IT WAS AWESOME! :D

Umm... other thing. So Justin, my teacher for Visual Composition, was using LOTR as an example for color and made a comment about how Frodo doesn't change throughout the movie and that's why he has to go to the West. Uhhh, I completely disagreed with that comment because the ring is all about change, it changed Isildor completely, it changed Smeagol into Gollum, and there's this huge point proven that no one can wield the ring because it will corrupt them. It HAS to be a hobbit because hobbits are inherently good and are the most resiliant against the corruption of the ring, but nevertheless, it does change whoever holds onto it. I think Justin's way off on that point, what about you guys o fellow Ringers?

I HATE THE HOVER ICON THING grrrr

You can turn off the hover-y box that appears if you go into your preferences and stuff. I can't remember how to do it at the moment, but I know I did it for my own journal.

Actually, the reason that hobbits aren't as affected by the ring isn't so much because of inherent goodness (the whole thing with Smeagol was that he was an odd one out in his community anyway), but because they don't want power and glory and all that stuff. They want a comfortable home, some good pipeweed, and eleven meals a day. So the ring really doesn't have much to work with when it comes to magnifying Dark Desires of World Domination.

In terms of the books, every hobbit that ever held or carried the ring (be it for a long or short spell) in the end all went to the Grey Havens in the West.

Bilbo and Frodo went together, and Sam, after living a life in Middle Earth (where he serves as mayor multiple times, had 12 children with Rosie, was visited by Arwen and Aragorns son Elessar, has several grandchildren, travels to Gondor and lives for a year with his wife and at least one of his kids), and after his wife's death, leaves the Book (There and Back Again) with his daughter Elanor, and then goes into the West. (September 22 is the date he leaves).
