Legolas Was Probably Carbon Free Too

Ok, I sound like a scratched CD (i think the broken record simile has been used enough) but I'm trying to get some new material up. I'm working on a verrrry (extra r's for emphasis) long piece right now about my easter break. It wasn't a beach, so no worries. It should be up in the next day or two. Then I'll go back to some of the trips I haven't covered yet. Expect a lot more beaches with those, though all very different.

In other news, out of the whopping 8 votes that were cast Legolas came out on top as the favorite LOTR character. Gimli was my sleeper pick, but I guess that didn't turn over like I thought it might. I was a bit surprised Legolas came out one top, I find Orlando Bloom rather annoying. But I guess the "real" Legolas was a lot cooler.

Sweet Picture of Legolas. For those Legolas lovers (or Orlando Bloom lovers) you can click on the picture and make it your desktop background. I'm not quite sure why Gandalf is in this though. He must be JUST THAT AWESOME!

Finally, I was booking my flight to the South Island for our Spring (Fall actually I guess) break with Qantas and after I purchased my ticket it had a little thing off to the side asking if I wanted to buy carbon offsets for my flight. It was only $3 bucks, so I said "Hey, why not fly carbon free and have nothing hanging on my conscience while I tour the South Island?" So besides the hassle of having to re-input all my credit card information, it was that easy. They even send you a tax invoice! Unfortunately, is for an Australian carbon offset program...oh well.
