“There, peeping among the cloud-wrack above a dark tor high up in the mountains, Sam saw a white star twinkle for a while. The beauty of it smote his heart, as he looked up out of the forsaken land, and hope returned to him. For like a shaft, clear and cold, the thought pierced him that in the end the Shadow was only a small and passing thing: there was light and high beauty for ever beyond its reach.”
― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Return of the King

Since when is 10am first light? It's probably the earliest these sorts of people see light most days, though. :D

Is something about to be announced? Is there a rumor of such an announcement? Is it more substantial than the previous rumors?

I thought he was holding out for the seventeen-part adaptation of Unfinished Tales?

Back from Googling and Google Newsing and poking around on TORN. Nada.

I'm off to bed. I'm sure if I hit myself over the head enough times, I'll sleep.

There is magic in long-distance friendships. They let you relate to other human beings in a way that goes beyond being physically together and is often more profound.
