Holidays
Yesterday we went to the "Return of the King" cast and crew screening, it was pretty damn cool. Sadly I think the opening scene and the ending scenes were the weakest but overall I'm incredibly proud to have been able to contribute towards the trilogy. The visual effects were mind blowing, especially the Pelennor Fields battle scenes.
Tomorrow morning Teresa and I, along with my new best friend, rise at seven am to board the Lynx and head towards Nelson. After a couple days kayaking around AbelTasman National Park we head south for Teresa's first ever summer christmas.
A week or so with family and friends and we're off again up the west coast (via the MoerakiBoulders and the "new big mall" in ChristchurchNewZealand) until we end up in NelsonNewZealand and possibly Takaka and Golden Bay to catch up with friends. Finally home to relax for a few days before back to work on the 12th.
See ya soon.

While I agree on the weakness of the ending the opening of Return of the King did, IMHO, a nice job of drawing the viewer back into the drama. Also set up some nice metaphorical references for the subconcious to digest. -- MichaelRasmussen
