The Sound of Middle-earth -> reading from LotR

[Galadriel55]

Would anyone be available later today? It looks like I'm going to be free in a couple hours, and I could use a good skype session.

I will, or well it depends on your definition of 'later'. I've stayed up waaay too long lately and I'd like to go to bed before 2 my time, which is in four hours.

I'm basically waiting for my dearest family to finally leave (they should do so before the hour is out) so that I can do whatever I want. But if you're pressed for time I can make myself available (ie hide in my room and lock the door) as soon as possible. Either way, my skype's turned on, so anytime.

I am very much availabe by now. If anyone's around?...

[Aganzir]

Aw sorry I got distracted making babies with Dean O'Gorman on MorphThing. I'm online now.

Okay what was supposed to be a short reading call on my part is still going on. We have just concluded that after casting the Silmaril into the sea, Maglor went insane, grew a massive beard and started living in a forest. Singing Ding-a-dong dillo. Also, I put my headphones back on when Hookbill was just saying how he wants to be Durin III's pet, he can give him a shiny collar and everything.
He, Eönwë, G55 and I have also read lots of Tolkien poems in English, Finnish, Russian, Swedish, Hungarian, and Hebrew.

Don't forget that he also shrunk in the wash!

What wash?

One of Goldberry's cleaning days, probably.

That was quite cool. We should do it again.

I believe I was using my mind-reading powers to see what Agan was thinking.

It was a lot of fun! Tolkien's songs and poems are always a delight. I wish I knew more of them by heart. We had 'In Moria in Khazad-dum', 'Gil-Gallad', 'Old Tom Bombadil', and many Rohiric songs! We need to do this again some time!
