I rang in the new year alone with a moment of reflection, though Aaron called and later visited me, which was wonderful. Later I watched the rest of The Fellowship of the Ring, which I started last week. I wasn't sure the ending would move me to tears as it has in the past but it did; not just a misty eyed sort of deal, but real tears streaming down. Boromir's story. Then Sam with Frodo. And also the memory of seeing the film just over 10 years ago with Mark Adams. When Frodo says he's glad to have Sam with him at the end and Sam swears to never leave him...it reminded me of Mark. But in the end Sam does leave Frodo for that hobbit wench and Frodo goes away, never to be seen again.

I have a horrible headache. I took painkiller before starting the movie but it hasn't helped. I'm giong to take more and try to get some sleep. Aaron wants me to join him later for a Doctor Who marathon.
