who cares about being snowed in 1000 miles from home?

So, my vacation to my grandmother's took a bit of an unexpected turn early this morning when about ten inches of snow decided to dump itself on the midwest and cancel my flight. Luckily I don't have anywhere pressing to be until Tuesday morning but EVEN MORE LUCKILY I had made a trip to Target, which is a very exciting place to a New Yorker who only just got a Target a couple years ago, and now have The Hobbit on DVD. Yes maybe it was stupid to buy it now when an extended version is bound to come out in a couple months, but at least now I had something to do while trapped here waiting for the snow to melt enough to get back to the airport. Also it was hilarious to watch with my dad, who saw it with me in the theatre the first time but didn't seem to remember anything that had happened and was delighted all over again. Except all the battle scenes kind of go on for too long, and so does the thing with the mountains fighting, and also sort of so does the bit with Frodo in the beginning but the perfection that is Gollum and the riddles and everything else makes up for it. So good. So happy. Also still have the whole second disk of special features left. Maybe I will just stay here, snowed in, and not go back to my life. Yes? yes.
