Billy Boyd sang at a Children's Concert in Glasgow over the weekend--someone put up a clip of him singing "Beyond the Sea" here (.wmv format).
Early: Where'd she go? Simon: I can't keep track of her when she's not incorporeally possessing a space ship. Don't look at me.
'Objects In Space'
LotR - The Return of the King: "We named the *dog* 'Strider'".
Frodo: Please, what does it always mean, this... this "Aragorn"? Elrond: That's his name. Aragorn, son of Arathorn. Aragorn: I like "Strider." Elrond: We named the *dog* "Strider".
A discussion of Lord of the Rings - The Return of the King. If you're a pervy hobbit fancier, this is the place for you.

Sean Astin looked very handsome at the Grammys last night.
He looked really, really good. Roommate and I looked at each other and said, "Sean got his chest back!"

Kathy, you might not want to direct-link that clip--can you link to the page?

Ummm, sure! Let's see--
is the final link, but there's no way to get to it from the billyboyd.net main page.

Huh. (The reason I mentioned it was because it's a bandwidth issue--usually when people share files they like people to go through the main page so they can track bandwidth usage.)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
You can still track bandwidth usage from a direct link.

Okay, I have a few TTT questions. (I was just at the gym, and caught the last half-hour of TTT, starting from when Theoden says "Is that it, Saruman? Is that all you've got?" Which is followed immediately by the Uruk-Hai Olympic torch bearer, which reminded us all of the axiom: Do Not Taunt The Dark Lord.)
1) The Nazgul -- they're the original 9 kings of men? They were corrupted b/c of the Ring?
2) The Rohrrim -- I remember that Theoden kicked Eomer out back at Edoras. But I thought the rest of Rohan, including the men, fled to Helm's Deep. So....where did the Rohrrim come from? Why weren't they already at Helm's Deep?
3) Why do people not see the Frodo/Sam love?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
1) The Nazgul -- they're the original 9 kings of men? They were corrupted b/c of the Ring?
Yes.
2) The Rohrrim -- I remember that Theoden kicked Eomer out back at Edoras. But I thought the rest of Rohan, including the men, fled to Helm's Deep. So....where did the Rohrrim come from? Why weren't they already at Helm's Deep?
Eomer had some guys with him. Remember the group that met up with Legolas and Gimli and Aragorn at the beginning? One assumes that they remained loyal to Eomer.
3) Why do people not see the Frodo/Sam love?
Willfull blindness.

1) Yes.
2) I don't think Eomer's riders fled to Helm's Deep. They were wandering off with Eomer.
3) BLIND, I tell you, BLIND.

But....when they come pouring down into Helm's Deep behind Gandalf, there's a kazillion of them! I would expect maybe his 3 closest buddies to be like "Yo, E-man, we ain't gonna desert youze. We're witcha the whole way." (Or something similar.)
But that's a lot of Rohrrim. It just seemed odd, given that I haven't read the books.
