The Hall of Fire

Someone linked to those stories some years ago on TORC, and I already read them then. They were surprisingly much in spirit with the LOTR.

Anthy. I hope that things go smoothly for John, whatever it is all about.

Yes, but the Boney M album lyrics render the line "We remember thee, Zion" as "We remember these I am." And I think that's how they sing it, too. I don't know what version you've heard, but in the one that was played in every disco here in the late seventies, they definitely san...

Welcome back, Ethel!

Lali.

I think that I've read this book long ago, must have been in my teens, and I feel that a reread could be in order. I must see if I can find it in the library or come across it at some second hand bookstore.

Lali, I'm praying for you and Freddy the way I "pray".

And, it's good to hear that some steps toward reconciliation have been taken.

My condolences, Jewel, and I'm wishing all the best for your cousin and her family.

I believe I understand very well what Frelga meant by posting just this quote, and also how it relates to Faramir's words in the LOTR: War should never be glorified. It's blood and guts and pain and death, not some exciting adventure, like many who haven't been there will always imagine. And, as for...

I've just spent quite a while browsing your gallery and chuckling at your commentaries.

There were quite a few works I'd certainly buy if I had some excess money (and a few more walls to put pictures on... ).

Mith, it's really rare that you and your sister managed to avoid Mary Sues. ST:TOS inspired me to come up with a few blatant ones; although I never wrote the stories down, I still remember them quite well. I swooned for Kirk and Spock in turns, and of course they ended up with my self-insertions... ...

It's interesting to hear what you all think of this book.

I'm probably going to get it at some point, but first I'm going to reread the poems from the Edda for comparison.

My condolences, Lali.

I'm keeping you in my thoughts and prayers, Jewel.

My copy arrived today. I've only got time for a quick glance, but it looks great, and I'll concentrate on it more properly next weekend.

Not surprising that it happened in Wincanton - that town has hosted an annual Discworld convention for I don't know how many times.

According to a draft for the events that Tolkien wrote at some point, and which is included in Hammond and Scull's The LOTR: A Reader's Companion , "The Inn attacked by the two Riders* in early hours before dawn". So, apparently, it was the Black Riders after all. * The ones that Merry saw...

Wish I could have seen the show on stage.

Very nice. I would put almost any of your abstract pieces on my wall.

Break a leg!

And yes, post video clips, please...
