Do not have plague. Is so-so situation. If had plague, could stay home and play computer games and read fic. On other hand - would have plague. Likely have plaque instead - have been bad about going to dentist regularly. Plaque not good excuse for skipping work. Good excuse for skipping bad date - better than hairwashing. Especially if one is bald.

Showed up an hour early to garden meeting last night. Main topic of interest to me was compost. Other people blathered on about community hours and whatever, but good dirt essential to gardening. Also worms. Have more worms at home than in garden, but am saving up for house. Can worms be like coupons? Or those little tickets from the skee ball games: I have 400 worms, can I have a giant stuffed moose?

Have two small stuffed moose. Meese. Not mice, as cats keep those away. Though Laurier likely to take on moose. Especially if stuffed - he likes killing helpless plants and stuffed animals. Likely to hide behind nearest convenient toilet if confronted with real moose. Would fight off bear (because is in the woods with moose, and why would bear shit in woods if toilet convenient?) and hide behind toliet.

Wonder if elves had indoor plumbing in Arda. Maybe was cause of migration to Aman - "Hey, look! The Valar have toilets! Let's go!" And that whole bit about the Silmarillions was cover-up: Morgoth stole toilet plans from Feanor, (oh yeah, and a couple of trinkets), ran off to Arda, got his ass handed to him, and kicked into Void where would not need toilet. And Sauron spoiled by toilets, spent two Ages trying to get toilet plans back - hence angry orcs: would have to shit in woods like bears (bears without toilets). Also fiery eye and bad temper - likely bad constipation brought on by toilet anxiety.

Hmm. The Istari spend agood bit of their first millenia or so in Arda, wandering around learning about lore and bodies and where the good toilets are. How does one toilet-train a Maia, I wonder?

Pfeh. Was going to draft up (I've given up the pretension of finishing fics for the now) a fic where Eomer actually views the Faramir/Eowyn romance in a positive light (getting tired of Eomer-as-roadblock fics) and ran into canon headlong. Or at least a breakdown of the timeline where Faramir, Eowyn and Eomer spend all of a week in the same place together. Epistolary's a whole lot more likely vehicle for the story than dialog...

Other things I'm tired of:
Rehashes of The Steward and the King. Lord, I've got those bloody passages memorized by now - give me a new twist!
Eomer and Lothiriel as a political marriage. a) there is no need b) there is no canon support for the practice, and c) my Imrahil's ten times the better father than Denethor, so there!

Hmm. Conversation between Eowyn and Glorfindel about glorious battle (Witch-King vs Balrog) and why Eowyn has turned from shieldmaiden to healer? And hey - Glorfi's the one what first spouted that 'not by the hand of man' thing.

There is certainly little enough about Faramir's ability to 'read the hearts of men'.

Also, Eowyn and Eomer know Sindarin (as grandchildren of Morwen Steelsheen), and Faramir is bloody likely to know Rohirric(close ally, anyone?), though their respective accents are probably pretty rusty.

...You know - whatever happened to the elves at Helm's Deep in the movie? Surely they didn't *all* die?
