Certainly toast-making, re-organising one's stuff and even daytime TV have a strange attraction at that stage of the game.

It's true--ashamed as I am to admit it, I wrote much of my rough draft with the trashiest of trashy daytime TV on in the background. Perhaps this is the hidden meaning of the Bombadil/Old Forest chapters--the necessity of digression.
Having just tossed the Ring into the fire (only a week past deadline), I'm eagerly looking forward to the Fourth Age. Sadly, it seems thus far to be devoid of Viggo Mortensen....
