Yeah, but, even at their geekiest music fiends have an interest in something with a bit of cachet.
Like bubblegum pop?
Jayne: What're you gonna tell the others? Mal: About what? Jayne: About why I'm dead. Mal: Hadn't thought about it. Jayne: Make something up. Don't tell 'em what I did.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Wow. I never kept a diary in another language/alphabet. I feel not so geeky now. But in a slightly wistful way, not in a gloaty way.
Also, I'm hungry. So I think I'ma go eat early, cause I didn't have lunch.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I kept a diary in dwarf-runes when I was 16
Who didn't?

I didn't keep a diary in the Tengwar or Angerthas or Cirith. Too much work, and I'm a LAZY BASTARD when it comes down to it.

However. I do speak it, as much as can be spoken (unless/until Christopher, the jerk, gets over his snit and publishes the grammars for Sindarin and Quenya). They'll never be even as "real" as Klingon (klingonaase) or Esperanto, as there's no contemporary, useful vocabulary. Neologisms in Elvish sound extreeeeeemely contrived...and what's the point? In-context, Elves wouldn't WANT to talk about the social, political, or technical concepts of Man.
Whoops. Off I went again.
See? Warned you I did, yes, Preciousss...he talkssss for hourssss and hoursss and won't SSSSHUT UP.

Tru Calling is on tonight? It says Season Premiere event. I thought it was cancelled.

Tru Calling is on tonight
I think they are running the eps that got shelved instead of Point Pleasant (which got cancelled) I think.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

He hates PJ's movies. When Royd Tolkien gave an interview after FotR where he expressed his admiration for the films, Christopher disowned him - wrote him out of the will. PJ gave Simon a bit-part in RotK as a Ranger of the North, kind of as compensation.
It's my personal opinion that Christopher is extremely bitter that his legacy will be as keeper of his father's notes, not an accomplished (and beloved) author, like his father. Ah, well.
Goofball.
