The Moonlighting episode, Atomic Shakespeare, which I watched on DVD last night. Such fun.

I'm not sure the Hobbiton worthies would appreciate it, mind, although I think some of the Tooks would like it (particularly the uncle who ran away to sea...)

Silmaril

Glorious eleven or so hours of sleep.

Waking up with the sunshine and a smile on your face.

Having an hour or so to spend being silent, thinking, reflecting, and reading - things you haven't consistently done for several months.

Summer break's definitely Shire-worthy. (Although it makes me feel as if I'm in a completely different world from all of you... )

Can I send you to the Shire again?

Cutting the grass for the first time - because despite the vast amount to raking up to be done it means Spring is here ... and it smells really nice.

Looking at the outside temperature last night at about 10:30 PM and seeing the number 75 with disbelief. Going outside and confirming that it is, indeed, 75 degrees Fahrenheit and kind of balmy, in the dark, in the middle of the night, on April 2.

Realising that LMP has somehow managed to create two "general" threads and related them to Tolkien on a technicality. Wonderful.

Actually, I believe that this is sufficient reason to seventh his assignment to the Shire, in conjunction with his use of the word "beMordored."

The prefix be- belongs, quite definitely, in the Shire.

Also, Easter. The chocolate is meaningless, the religion lost on me, but I appreciate the two weeks of paying off my sleep debt.

Watching Monty Python and the Holy Grail for a class function...for the second time! Four long years ago, I was introduced to this glory through my English class, and now we watched it for an interdisciplinary course. The only thing better than the movie was watching my professor recited the entire film along with it!
