Well, at least the Tengwar lessons are sticking. My friend was wearing a shirt featuring a Middle Earth map done Yahoo Maps style with a route mapped from the Shire to Mount Doom (how cool are my friends, no?) and I was bothered by the fact that the Mapquest logo was done in Tengwar with númen standing in for the “m” sound. Is there an English mode where this is done, or is it a typo? I’m guessing typo. It was also written tengwa-to-tehta, as Quenya is, which I’m not used to seeing for English modes. Pheer the nerd.

In other news I’m also re-reading LOTR and I’m about halfway through TTT. Wish I could bring that into the lab. I should see if someone has the text online—I always have little bits of downtime but it’s a pain in the ass to go out and have to come back in and gown up again.
