The Very Secret Diary of Legolas Son of Weenus - by Cassandra Claire

Day One: Went to Council of Elrond. Was prettiest person there. Agreed to follow some tiny little man to Mordor to throw ring into volcano. Very important mission - gold ring so tacky.

Day Six: Far too dark in Mines of Moria to brush hair properly. Am very afraid I am developing a tangle.

Orcs so silly.

Still the prettiest.

Day 35: Boromir dead. Very messy death, most unnecessary. Did get kissed by Aragorn as he expired. Does a guy have to get shot full of arrows around here to get any action? Boromir definitely not prettier than me. Cannot understand it. Am feeling a pout coming on.

Frodo off to Mordor with Sam. Tiny little men caring about each other, rather cute really.

Am quite sure Gimli fancies me. So unfair. He is waist height, so can see advantages there, but chunky braids and big helmet most off-putting. Foresee dark times ahead, very dark times.

That's an AWESOME cake, Gillian! Who cares if she likes it... I do. The cake's for the guests, anyway. :lol:

henc :lol:

I didn't even notice it formed anything. I thought it was a design. :lol: I guess that's why it has pearl necklaces around it. :unsure:

Oh my god! Thanks everyone -- you guys are so great! I'm at home in my pyjamas, answering work emails. Bleh. But all the birthday related stuff is so wonderful. Thanks to all of you.

I love the cake, but not the 65... 30 years to go until I hit that. I realise that now I'm 35 I am out of the all-important 18-34 "youth market". Does this make me a grownup...? Noooooooo!!! NEVER SURRENDER!

And yes, cake is for the guests. I only got one piece of my wedding cake at my reception. Greedy guests ate it all!

:rofl::rofl::rofl:

In the world of television we are always breathlessly targetting the "advertiser friendly 18-34 demographic"

I had a fit when I turned 35 and I realized that advertisers and television executives were not longer trying to appeal to me. I still plan to watch the 90210 spinoff however.

Happy Birthday maven!

so - I'm finishing work on July 15th yayayyayayay. So happy and relieved.

Now got to book flights, London to Ireland, Ireland to Miami and Miami to LAX. Whooooo hooooo

Incidentally, do any of the LA people know of any short term let apartments? We would like to have a place for the first 2 or 3 months while we get jobs etc sorted out. We figure till we get jobs, we won't really know where we want to live in the longer term. I've found these people but they're pretty expensive, and don't have loads of availability. Anyone got any good recommendations.

I stayed at the Oakwood (they have a few branches around town), which may be a bit cheaper than the Archstone but not cheap - they do come fully furnished and all bills except phone and laundry however (but including cable, wireless internet and fitness center).

You could also check Craigslist for sublets - I imagine there may be a few going over the summer (edit - just checked - there are lots!)

Congrats on booking the flight!

thanks!! Actually I'd just found Oakwood! They don't have any prices on their website, but that's the great thing about the time difference. It's still business hours there when I get home, so I'll give them a call tonight.

I thought about the sublet, but I'd prefer somewhere that I could extend the lease if we had to. We'll see. I'll keep an eye on Craigslist anyway, never know what will crop up.

I seem to recall we paid about $1600 a month for a studio - one bed was a few hundred more. I did like it because it was very easy when you are new in town and have just moved country and don't have everything you need. They provided everything from cutlery to a laundry basket to sheets and towels.

Did you say your husband already had a job lined up?

it's not a certainty, I'm afraid. He works in Disney here, and might be able to transfer, but his bosses haven't secured anything for him yet. Plus he's looking around for other jobs, seeing what's around. So we want to keep our options open.
