Tolkien’s Birthday
Yesterday would have been J.R.R. Tolkien’s eleventy-second (112th) birthday; in honour thereof a group of Tolkien fans gathered downtown last night to celebrate. I’d a great time, but I discovered something truly disturbing: I’m a Tolkien geek’s geek. Somehow I was the only person there who knew the Tengwar from memory, and my command of trivia was deemed impressive. I’m quite upset, to tell the truth. I really need to get out more.
