  1. Introducing pater to Lang's Die Nibelungen Saturday. He will probably not like it as much; he is less susceptible to Paul Richter's charms.
  2. Guys, E.G. Marshall and Tim Gunn had a snarky German baby! I'm so happy for them! youtu.be/drRTJWbxRzg
  3. In moments of danger or strain, I hear Richard Dean Anderson's voice in my head. Unfortunately, it usually talks about duct tape and lint.
  4. Gollum...Mt. Doom...I just...I don't...WHAT IS THIS I DON'T EVEN GAAAAHHHHH #ReturnoftheKing #LOTR
  5. Takk gud fa cognates. #youjustreadNorwegian
  6. New frontispiece maps bloody illegible. This wouldn't be such a problem if Tolkien would stop naming each place in FOUR DIFFERENT LANGUAGES!
  7. Frodo = a load, Samwise = awesome, but both characterizations are USELESS in the face of their crazy good luck in navigating Mordor. WHAT.
  8. 3 BOOKS INTO THE SERIES: Tolkien realises a 'league' is not what he thinks it is, and switches to 'miles.'
  9. Posting on LJ. Please don't talk to me right now or there's a danger of my replying by miming GIFs for three minutes solid.
  10. #LOTR It seems the fault of the sons of Dethenor to be little better than Macguffins in Tolkien's plot. Burn. #puns!
  11. #LOTR Holy Return of the King, Batman, someone DOES get burned alive in this book! It's not an elf, but still! #youhaveearnedmyattentionback
  12. The Phantom of the Opera sequel #LoveNeverDies comes to theatres for 1 night! Too bad all my friends will be in Europe! SUCKERS!!...wait.
  13. @Black_Anise MY POINT BEING if this chick doesn't burn her entire family alive or something, I will hate her forever for WASTING. OUR. TIME.
  14. So Arwen made Aragorn a flag. It's SOLID BLACK, but she apparently put in lots of secret hours on it? And sent a pointless message verbatim?
  15. Realised Eowyn : Brynhild :: Arwen : Kriemhild. If Aragorn gets killed, then we get to watch Arwen burn her jerk father alive! #oddlyhopeful
  16. I admire the way I bravely continue to utterly waste my time, considering most mornings I wake up convinced I'm going to die before supper.
  17. @katwithabook It is if you concentrate.
  18. #LOTR TODAY: Pippin admits to being the only person to ever like Boromir, then meets Faramir & decides he likes him better. SUBTLETY? POSH!
  19. Dear Grad Schools, your signals are so mixed they approach labyrinthian. Moving to Phase 2: Annoying Admissions Officials. #youforcedmyhand
