It's gonna be my best friend's nickname and my nickname but spelled in Tengwar which Katya already did for me, but also my boyfriend's nickname in Tengwar I'm gonna add to it . The three names will form a circle, like the Ruling Ring, but it'll be slanted to an angle like this:

By the way, I wish I had this actual ring, it looks killer!

Yeah, a lot better than that one I ordered online from some the very site that allowed me to find the Tolkien Trail (lost the link from the other site, did a search, and this one was at the top). I still want to find that site!!!!! But anyway, I got this ring, which was shiny gold when I got it (it wasn't actually gold) but, it ended up getting silver, and the supposedly good chain's locking mechanism stopped closing all the way. In the end, the Ring fell off and was never seen since. THere's some truth to what Galadriel is rambling on about all the time.

Speaking of rambling, what is it with Ray Bradbury and firemen? There's the book burning firemen in Fahrenheit 451, there's the firemen disguesd as "Dismantlers" in the Martian Chronicles (most specifically in the story entitled Usher II or something to that effect.) I think he was on to something--that psychologically people were burning books. Ignoring books, and too immersed in their "family" on the TV.

I've got to go in a few.

Well, that's exACTly the idea he was trying to get across. And it still rings dead true today, frighteningly true. People let TV devour their psyches, just like burning books. They'd rather not be bothered with thinking and reading, Bradbury was illustrating this beautifully with his "fireman" motif.

Buona notte a voi, giovane! Sleep tight...

I'd say! You've got to love him. C'mon! The reader still roots for Montag or Spender, laughs at Captain Wilder knocking Sam Parkhill's teeth out, laughs again as the meteorite destroys the ship and only George Bernard Shaw--borg and his human friend survive, and of course they get the impression that Ray Bradbury had fun writing (visible in that half of all of his books I read are really a bunch of stories that are minutely connected).

I've got to go. Will return to read reply after I get ready for bed. Got to get up at nine.

Sir Grey Wolf the Wolvenhearted, I see you're around this fine morning! Care for a cuppa tea?


And it's a shame, too, because I've got a grip of court-ordered community service I'm supposed to be at every morning at five friggin' a.m. I have GOT to get that timeslot changed.

I'm listening to the Forging Scene from Siegfried. Still blows my mind how cool Wagner is. Can't beat my own funeral march!

Schmiedelied - Forging Scene
Siegfried
Notung! Notung! Neidliches Schwert!
Was muβtest du zerspringen?
Zu Spreu nun schuf ich die scharfe Pracht,
Im Tiegel brat’ ich die Späne.
Hoho! Hoho! Hohei! Hohei! Hoho!
Blasé, balg! Blasé die Glut!
Wild im Walde wuchs ein Baum,
Den hab’ ich mir im Forst gefällt:
Die baune Esche brannt’ ich zurKohl’,
auf dem Herd nun liegt sie gehäuft.
Hoho! Hoho! Hohei! Hohei! Hoho!
Blasé, balg! Blasé die Glut!
Des Baumes Kohle, wie brennt sie kühn;
wie glüht sie hell und hehr!
In springenden Funken sprühet sie auf:
Hohei! Hoho! Hohei!
Zerschmilzt mir des Stahles Spreu.
Hoho! Hoho! Hohei! Hohei! Hoho!
Blasé, balg! Blasé die Glut!


Mime
Er schmiedet das Schwert
und Fafner fällt er:
das she’ ich nun deutlich voraus.
Hort und Ring erringt er im Harst:
wie erwerb’ ich mir den Gewinn?
Mit Witz und List gewinn; ich beides und berge heil mein Haupt.


Siegfried
Hoho! Hoho! Hohei! Hohei! Hohei!


Mime
Rang er sich müd’ mit dem Wurm,
von der Müh erlab ihn ein Trunk:
aus würz’ gen Säften, die ich gesammelt,
brau’ ich den Trank für ihn;
wenig Tropfen nur braucht er zu trinken,
sinnenlos sinkt er in Schlaf.
Mit der eignen Waffe,
die er sich gewonnen,
räum; ich ihn leicht aus dem Weg,
erlange mir Ring und Hort.
Hei! Weiser Wandrer!
Dünkt’ ich dich dumm?
Wie gefällt dir nun mein feiner Witz?
Fand ich mir wohl Rat und Ruh?


Siegfried
Notung! Notung! Neidliches Schwert!
Nun schmolz deines Stahles Spreu!
Im eignen Schweiße schwimmst du nun.
Bald schwing ich dich als mein Schwert!
In das Wasser floß ein Feuerfluß:
grimmiger Zorn zuscht’ ihm da auf!
Wie sehrend er floß,
in des Wassers Flut fließt er nicht mehr.
Starr ward er und steif,
herrisch der harte Stahl:
heißes Blutdoch fließt ihm bald!
Nun Schwitze noch einmal,
daß ich dich schweißbe,
Notung, neidliches Schwert!
Was schafft der Töpel
dort mit dem Topf?
Brenn’ ich hier Stahl,
braust du dort Sudel?


Mime
Zuschanden kam ein Schmied;
den Lehrer sein Knabe lehrt:
mit der Kunst nun ist’s beim Alten aus,
als Koch dient er dem Kind.
Brennt es das Eisen zu Brei,
aus Eiern braut der Alte ihm Sud.


Siegfried

Mime, der Künstler,
lernt jetzt kochen;
das Schmieden schect ihm nicht mehr.
Seine Schwerter alle hab’ ich zerschmissen;
was er kocht, ich kost’ es ihm nicht!

No, that's not what you get. Though if you want to be puished by me singing in German again, your welcome to ask .

For this post, this is officially the opera smilie . Looks like that guy needs to take a break.

That's not the entire forging scene, that's just as much as I got copied. Soon, I could post the entire scene. If anyone wants to hear it, e-mail me at lastmartian@hotmail.com.
I'm thinking of starting a club in my school. I'm torn between Astronomy, Mars, SciFi, Writing, Music Appreciation, or Tea. I would feel like I had made some sort of difference if I could make one called MArtian Music Appreciation.
