Tolkien stuff

for those interested, that Russian novel that was basically 'LOTR - bad guys redux' that the estate fought against long ago -- it's now in English, with a free download, for those interested:

Secondly, I got a call at work from 'Haldir'. Mark knew my first day back after vacation was going to be crazy, so he got a certain elf to give me a call (he's very good at immitating voices)

Good times. ^_^
