My darling hubbit sent me a link to TORn regarding Christopher Tolkien stepping away from his position at the Tolkien estate [something I never thought he would do voluntarily]. Together with the news of a new LOTR television series, the return to TheOneRing.net website brought up such bittersweet memories for me ( Read more... )

Every once and a while I've gotten so fed-up with life as I'm living it that I wander through Craigslist just to see if there's anything out there. Found an ad for a job that I thought would fit, and almost for laughs sent in my resume.
