fabiadrakeI’m recovering from a virus, which I think may be one of those “stressful situation ends → get ill” scenarios. I have things to be thankful for! And I’m ill. Tragically, I suspect this is not a coincidence.
I may have finished the aforementioned essay, and it is probably the above-caused brain fog that is making me contemplate creating a community solely for Tolkien’s writings about Middle-earth (i.e. no adaptations). This is probably a dreadful idea, because either nobody would post or people would post and I’d have to live up to my administrative responsibilities. This may be too high a price to pay. Also, I flit between stories often and prefer it that way. I would just quite like a legendarium space that has nothing to do with any adaptations.
It’s been a minute since I’ve done any academic writing (excepting the history-writing I’ve been working on recently), and I regret to say that I rather enjoy reading style guides. For example, The MHRA Style Guide and The Guardian style guide, the latter of which I sometimes flagrantly disregard. This is my idea of a good time — perhaps yours too.
I would have gone to see this already if I hadn’t been unwell. Some other time, if it comes around again.
I think I may have come to a conclusion as to where I want to move to: pleasant area, good train connections to places I like to visit, some good commute options, closer to a shul, affordable. But I will not be surprised if I somehow end up revising this decision completely; these things happen.
I finished work early; I’ve done a little baking. I wanted to prime a board so that I could do some painting soon but ultimately unpacking the primer seemed too much like work. I must send off some films for development.
If I owe you a reply somewhere, forgive me. Things are slow, and by things I mean me.
