Random Thread ～Owaranai Insomnia '25 ver.～

Someone down the street from my house has one of those giant spider web decorations on the front of their house. I keep meaning to get a pic of it every year!

When I was in Atlanta recently, someone had a 12-foot skeleton in their front yard, and 2 smaller skeletons that looked like they were crawling up to the balcony.

There is a house on my way to work that puts out a giant skeleton display and they keep it up through Christmas by just adding Santa hats and a skeleton attached to the wreath. It’s my favorite thing ever.

^ That's the perfect way to transition between the two, very "Nightmare Before Christmas" of them.

Now I'm trying to imagine Jack Skellington with Miyabi's duck lips.

I am ashamed to admit I only got 83% correct.

^ I'm kicking myself because I missed one. It was readily interpretable as a Quenya name, but I was blanking on what character might have it. So after agonizing over it for a while, I decided it was misleading me and chose antidepressant. How does one say "D'oh!" in Sôval Phârë?

It's actually been 20 years (!) since I last read The Lord of the Rings from beginning to end. I'm looooong overdue for a re-read.

About a year ago I listened to the (Audible) audiobook of the trilogy. So, not really all the way through, since it doesn't include the best part!

I got 17 out of 24. I haven't read too much Tolkien in a while, but I think I should be much more up to date on antidepressants.

I’ve been slowly chipping away at getting the lots of the rings on Audible especially since they have Andy Serkis doing the reading.

I find I only get audible books if I like the voice of the person reading the book.
