My local classical music station does a semi-scroll display of their current tune, 8 characters at a time, when I tune in from my car. Some days this gets me silliness like "Reverie with Horn and Orc". No, it's not inspired by Boromir's last moments in Fellowship of the Ring.

If the most disappointing part missed from the film version of Lord of the Rings was Tom Bombadil, the most disappointing omission from the Hobbit was Bilbo's song about the Mirkwood spiders:
Old fat spider spinning in a tree!
Old fat spider can't see me!
Attercop! Attercop!
Won't you stop,
Stop your spinning and look for me!
Old Tomnoddy, all big body,
Old Tomnoddy can't see me!
Attercop! Attercop!
Down you drop!
You'll never catch me up your tree!

"There, peeping among the cloud-wrack above a dark tor high up in the mountains, Sam saw a white star twinkle for a while. The beauty of it smote his heart, as he looked up out of the forsaken land, and hope returned to him. For like a shaft, clear and cold, the thought pierced him that in the end the Shadow was only a small and passing thing: there was light and high beauty for ever beyond its reach."
- J.R.R. Tolkien, The Return of the King

Watching Return of the King and listening to Theoden's battle charge "DEAAAAAAATH" and thinking
- man the Klingons would love this guy

We have a lot of great sunsets here, but the one Tuesday night was off the charts. It started with some unusual shadow play in the eastern sky, but after photographing that I turned around to discover the drama in the west -- including the river-horses of Rivendell, galloping at Arwen's call to save the hobbits after the flight to the ford.

There's "I'm writing a book about The Lord of the Rings" nerdy, and then there's "I've written a geneology of the White Tree of Gondor" nerdy.
That moment when you realize your doppelgänger is Gimli.
