Happy Bilbo and Frodo's Birthday!

As I feared, I very nearly forgot. I've been completely out of a Middle-earth space for a long time now and should revisit it; it's been too long since I've deeply explored that world.

I had a strange flash of Finrod while walking along a rural road in Japan, but it was so incongruous and hard to pull any plausible plot out of that I ended up quashing it. Sorry, Finrod.

I do, however, look forward to the Hobbit movie.

I'm looking forward to the film as well, despite some doubts. Martin Freeman is wonderfully cast, and for a change it catches me at just the right spot in my life: close to the canon, yet not in a place where failures of adaptation will make me deeply uncomfortable.

Are you home from Japan now?

I hope the film pleases when it comes out. Yep, I'm back from Japan and busily getting ready for the school term. (Hoping to do one last Japan post, but time has not presented itself.)
