The WB is showing this documentary right now about the making of The Two Towers, a film which I am eargerly awaiting.

The cast and crew enjoyed the attractions of New Zealand. The guy who plays the elf went skydiving. And the guys who play the hobbits went surfing.

Surfing Hobbits.

Surf The Shire!

Everybody's going surrrrfin'.... Surfin' Middle Earth! (sing along. you know the words.)

Yeah. I know. I really need to get out more.

The Suz was telling me about how she and IsBoyfriend are somehow having an argument that she was unaware of.

Apparently he is angry with her because his friend's wife bought a $500 table cloth.

The logic of his argument is, clearly, questionable.

More questionable is where does one obtain a $500 tablecloth? I'm a pretty good seamstress and I don't even know how to obtain $500 worth of fabric.

What does one do with a $500 tablecloth?

You can't serve FOOD on it. What if someone spills? That's a $500 tablecloth. You can't place it in the line of fire. Besides, who cooks food fine enough to warrant serving on such a tablecloth?

I'm sure some people do. I just don't think the IsBoyfriend actually knows people like that.

Now the wife of the IsBoyfriend's friend wants matching napkins, and this precipitated the argument. Apparently this somehow indicates that the IsRoommate is somehow irresponsible with money.

I don't think I could feel comfortable wiping my mouth with a $100 napkin.
