I had my first visit with an accupuncturist this morning. It was ... interesting. I'm definitely intrigued enough to continue going.

However! I have finally cranked out another re-read post. Apparently I have lots of opinions about LotR. I've had to start *gasp* putting real effort into these. But Middle-earth is worth it ( Read more... )

Lord of the Rings
Fellowship of the Ring
Book I-Chapter I: A Long Expected Party

( When Mr. Bilbo Baggins of Bag End announced that he would shortly be celebrating his eleventy-first birthday with a party of special magnificence, there was much talk and excitement in Hobbiton. )

Sometimes it’s nice, when you’re in fannish free fall, to return to the things you’ve always loved. I’ve been meaning to do a re-read of Lord of the Rings for a while now and watching the films over the Thanksgiving weekend kicked me from intent to actual practice. And since I need something to put up on my LJ, I’ve decided to share the re-read ( Read more... )

The following are the first batch of Belated More Joy Day clips. But, first, a question ( Read more... )

I totally didn't get any editing done today. But it's not my fault! I had to go over to the parents' for Sunday dinner and the Da was watching the LotR marathon on TNT and I got drawn into the goodness. And then the Da finally found the golf clubs that he said he was going to give me that were hiding in the basement and showed me some beginning ( Read more... )

Apparently I'm feeling talkative tonight. Damn, but it never rains but it pours around here. Sorry about that, ya'll.

Saturday was Hobbit Day. Happy Belated Baggins' Birthday! The lot of us at FGC got together for tea and biscuits (I made very yummy shortbread) and a viewing of Fellowship of the Ring. Even though we all met because of LotR I don't ( Read more... )

I am a pizza thief. I was so hungry this morning that I went and ate a slice of pizza that didn't belong to me. Hey! It was in the communal fridge, which, by its very definition, is communal. For the sake of posterity I must remember to go to the grocery store or else whole legions of pizza thieves will arise to denude the world of delicious ( Read more... )

I found out why I wasn't feeling so hot yesterday morning. Seems like I've been hit with an attack of the rabid chihuahua bite disease that I picked up in Texas. It comes and goes and it's come again. *shrug*. It's painful but if Lip could survive Bastogne then I can certainly survive this for a couple of days ( Read more... )

I had the strangest dream last night. I dreamt that I went to Chicago on Saturday with baylorsr and Her Sister. I also dreamt that there we met hiyacynth and ramalama and the_headhunter and we all went to the symphony and heard the music from The Lord of the Rings Symphony and then we all played Barbie's World of Middle-earth Smut. I had many flings with Boromir, stole Legolas's ( Read more... )

Well, it appears that I didn't work on crack!fic after all. Instead I went and wrote up the last part of the first chapter of my ongoing hobbit-fic. Pippin just wouldn't let me string him on for one more single moment. Sorry that it took me so long to get this out Pip, I promise that I love you just as much as the other hobbits. Really, I do!
