As somebody once said there’s a difference between a failure and a fiasco. A failure is simply the non-presence of success. Any fool can accomplish failure. But a fiasco… A fiasco is a disaster of untold proportions. A fiasco is a folktale told to others that makes other people feel more alive because it didn’t happened to them — Drew Baylor, Elizabeth Town

Hoppy Easter

Ostern HOPPY EASTER! Hoppy Easter

Happy Easter to all of you! I hope you have found all eggs in the garden and had a pleasant Sunday. The weekend was very comfortable and relaxing. I haven’t done to much just spent the half of the day in WoW :notunderstand: and tried to get new legs for my tanking gear. But I fear that’s more difficult than I thought. The kilt that droppes in Mana Tombs heroic does not want to dropp for me as well as the T4 token from Gruul the Dragonkiller, and I have not enough DKP points to get the T5 token today because five others have more. That can really suck. :mmm2:

After this whole WoW playing I was really creative and the inspiration overcame me (Please notice: There is no correlation between playing WoW and being creative. *hihi*). So I opened Photoshop and out came two new signatures.

Jareth

Legolas

I really like them. The “Jareth” signature is of course extremely colorful, but I personally think that this fits wonderful the film and the topic of the song “Dance magic”. On the other site the “Legolas” signature is very dark beside the small Lothlorién theme. I made this signature because I have realized that I have never created a “Legolas” or Lord of the Rings signature. That was a really bitter discovery. ;(

These are not the only news related to “Ankantoiel’s Diary”. After I have visited my sister’s blog I was so freaked out because of the small plugin that displays random quotes that I had to integrate it also on my own site right now. You can see the result in the top right corner of the page where the worm has his home. If you have a quote that is worth to be added, please just send me a message and I will consider it.

The Lord of the Rings in Concert

Wow, that concert was so amazing that words fail me. The sound was bombastic and the orchestra, the Warschauer Symphonie Orchester, wonderful. Especially the young female director did her job really good and the two women that sang the solo parts, “May it be” and “Into the West” had so gorgeous voices. Me of course would best fit into the role of Gollum, yes my precioussss, yesss. :grin:

Of course, that was not the “original” soundtrack from Howard Shore and he also don’t want to know anything of this production as this articel points out. It also points out that this concert is not really worth its money. I agree that the price of over 60€ is too high, but on the other side I was really amazed and the emotions were running high. I have no comparison to the “original” concert from and with Howard Shore, but sometimes I have the feeling that all these guys participating in the Lord of the Rings movie production don’t want to have others a part of this great merchandise cake (not even the movie director or the actors). :mmm1: Also working together is a term unknown to this whole industry…

To end this short post, I have found a video of the “rip-off” concert from the Warschauer Symphonie Orchester. Please form your own opinion if such a concert is worth to visit it, or not.
