My mind’s eye is having problems.

No matter how hard I try to change my view, I continue to picture hobbits looking like those furry little critters from Mercer Mayer books.* I know this is vastly wrong. Hobbits have only hairy feet. Critters have hair covering their entire bodies. Hobbits deal with problems like The Great Darkness and the ( Read more... )

I made the disturbing discovery yesterday that some heretofore unrealized part of me really, really wants to be like M.C. Hammer. The problem is, I just finished eating half a large pizza from Domino’s, so I don’t feel up to practicing all my spiffy dance moves. I think I’ll go back to reading instead. Or maybe watching the Cartoon Network, ( Read more... )

Before we begin, perhaps I should give you a forty-eight page prologue, just in case you missed my previous writings detailing my past, my customs, and now, my planned excursion into Middle Earth. Don’t worry, it’ll be over before you know it ( Read more... )

I’m sure you’ve all noticed by that I've never really done any of the multitudinous quizzes posted in people's LiveJournals. Which Lord of the Rings character are you? Which Buffy character turns you on? How many licks does it take you to reach the center of a Tootsie Roll™ Tootsie Pop™? Frankly, I've never really cared. But now that’s all ( Read more... )

Pondering. Musing. Meditating. Ruminating. That’s what I’ve been doing with my time, people; it’s been a slow last seven days. It’ll start with a practical question, for example: if you’re toasting the end piece of a loaf of bread, which side of the slice should go face-up in the toaster? The crusty end or the bread-y end? Over time, my ( Read more... )

Just a compilation of random, ridiculous moments that have happened since my arrival back at Swat twelve days ago. Presented in chronological order. The title pretty much does say it all ( Read more... )
