*giggles* Chungy, I think you need to see this. As mollyringwraith described it, “Apparently, C.S. Lewis warned Tolkien, back in the day, that Frodo and Sam might be interpreted as having a, er, “special” relationship. We all would love to have heard that conversation. Well, luckily hyel and co. decided to write it for us.”

Hahahhahaha.

So yeah, just got back from my 14 Hours O’ Trojan Women. Guh. I am past the point of exhaustion and out the other side.

Spread the word! Today has been declared Fandom Underdog Day!

Ah, where would we be without our fandom underdogs? *waves “Percy is Not Evil” banner, declares self “Pervy Filtrum Fancier”, and wow, I’m suddenly exhausted. I think I’ll take a nap. *falls unconscious, returning an hour later to post this, still bleary*

Meanwhile: ladies, is anyone still using espressoferrets.com? Because if not, I think we should get rid of it.

Wow, I’m tired. Today is such a beautiful day, but I have to be inside and in the library, looking up stuff for my film noir paper. And I can’t find anything in the library catalog, so I’m probably going to have to change my topic. Good thing I don’t have anything written yet. Urgh, why is this due Wednesday when I’m going to have to work on Trojan Women from 9AM to 11PM tomorrow?

Whee! I was just thinking “Waaah, my paper is just over 6 pages, and it’s supposed to be 3-5!”, but then I just realized: Font Size! Oh, bless you, font gods!

Edit: Mkay, now compressed to 5 1/3 pages. I suppose that’s good enough.

Hmm. The paper is only supposed to be 3-5 pages, but I have four full pages already and I feel I’ve barely scratched the surface. Bah.

1AM: It occurs to me that “Bass and Rankin” (the names of the directors of the dorky animated musical RotK) sounds like the name of a bait shop.

1:30: Stupid Microsoft Word Spell Check, “nuanced” is too a word!

2AM: Tolkien, you wuss! You give a name to every rock in Middle Earth and you don’t have any better name for the Ringwraiths’ winged mounts than “fell beasts”?

2:30: What the… birds? It’s the DEAD OF NIGHT. You should not be singing!

4AM: Does anyone know the word for the kind of weapon the Witch King carries? Beyond “spiked flail”? Bah, I’m going to bed.
