Can an Author and a Wizard be Mentioned in the Same Blog?
Not to long ago Chris did a post and mentioned an up and coming author of Young Adults named J. Scott Savage.
I took it upon myself to check him out. *grin* I've been reading of his upcoming book release and the trials and tribulations along the way. Veeeerrrrry Interesting!
Recently, I also found out that J. Scott Savage just happened to have (at one point in his life) moved to New Providence NJ where I was born and raised! While he lived there he mentioned using the town library quite a bit and it brought back a rush of memories.
The town was small. The Library was small. But ya know what?.. it was a cool little library!
Now,...
1) having discovered this young man via Chris,
2) and having interest in his upcoming book,
3) and having found out he even went to MY high school.. how could I not try to help promote this guy??!! So here goes.......
Author: J. Scott Savage

Later: same day..

Remember the old ad that said, "I can't believe I ate the whole thing!"
... I sorta felt that way this morning. Well.. I didn't "eat" anything.. but TNT ran LOTR back to back yesterday.... and I actually watched ALL OF IT! Gads, I can't believe I watched the whole thing!!
It's not like I don't own the LOTR dvd's .. I do! So then why does it (and other movies I own) become so tempting that I have to watch them then and there? Doh.. can you say dingbat? I will never understand why I watch movies on tv (with commercials!) when I have the movie to watch any time I want (without commercials!).
My favorite of the three movies will always be the first one.... more specifically, the scene under the mountain when Gandalf fights the Balrog.
"You shall not pass!"..
Wow! .. Wow!.... Such a great actor!!!
I always find myself thinking the same thing after this scene (and after I finish crying)... as much as I love him, I would not want to be one who has to face a ticked off Gandalf ! lol.
I guess I didn't realize it was time for an Ian McKellan fix.. or a Gandalf fix. But I sure enjoyed the movies back to back like that (even if it did take up my entire day!).

I dreamed that one day Gandalf and I would be mentioned in the same blog! Too funny. Who knew I would meet someone on my blog who would send me a picture of the library I used to cut school to go to? Thanks for the pic and thanks for taking part in the tour. I have to admit, I'm having a ball with this.
The first movie is my favorite too. Although, I think my favorite scene is the one where Aragon tells Frodo to run, then turns toward the horde of Uruk-hai running at him and pulls out his sword with this cool swagger and wades ride into the middle of them with no hesitation at all.
