A bit late, but a big thank you to Corey for the "History of Middle Earth"-series.

Listening to the newest episode of Mythgard Academy, on "The Shiboles of Fëanor".
Fun fact: The Balrog couldn't speak with Gandalf, because it had used all it's Spacetokens on Old Norse, which Gandalf didn't use.
If he was around today, I suspect Tolkien would have had the orcs as automatons run by AI.
When Azaghâl is carried off the battlefield at the Nirnaeth Arnoediad, the dwarves should sing "Diggy Diggy Hole".
Yesterday David Attenborough said on TV that elephants don't like tea (bushes at least), contrary to Prof. Tolkien's claim.
Re-reading LOTR. Recently had my 51st birthday, and think I will not be very bendy when I reach the age of Treebeard either.
Just finished "J. R. R. Tolkien, Author of the Century" by Tom Shippey. What an excellent book.
Watched "Lord of the Beans", the Veggie Tales adaption of LOTR yesterday. It was, eh, intresting.
Have started to read Casper Clemmensen's "Tolkien og det mytiske Jylland" (Tolkien and the mythical Jutland). A book about Tolkien in Danish.
It would be only fitting if "Exploring the Silmarillion" will be done by one of Corey's sons.
Birthwort's (Aristolochia clematitis) Norwegian name, "pipeurt", literally translate to "pipeweed".
"Boromir had a long sword, in fashion like Andúril but of less lineage", so of the same Oakeshott-typology? Maybe type XI.
Flittermouse, flittermouse, flies around the house.
Is not a bird, it has no neb.
Nor a fly, afeared of lob's web.
God Jul.
Must admit I only skimmed Tolkien's elf generation schemes in chapter XVII.
Luthien is probably the most "tralala-laly" elf ever.
The mysterious machine in ep 193 of Exploring the Lord of the Rings, looks like part of a rope-walk to me.
Finished "Morgoth's Ring" today. So I have caught up with reading The History of Middle-Earth. Only finished ep 14. on the Mythgard episodes though.
Typical of my luck: Normally do office work 8.00 to 9.30, then go to teach. When SilmFilm broadcast from 8.00, "course-day" all day from 8.00. -
