I really don't like what they did to the first one, adding all sorts of things that just aren't there in the Hobbit book. I really love the book, so rather than sitting there hating, I'm not going to watch the rest at all.

There's a thread up in the movie forum if you want to share thoughts.

Yup, I'll hog 'em

I'll need a transparent something to hold them in though, otherwise their color won't show properly... They're currently on my agate geode.

Nah.

Ah, I see. I've seen the second one too but so far I don't really get a 'I'm watching The Hobbit on screen' so maybe a good call after all.

Well, you know what happened to other people who decided to hog shiny stones, and it wasn't pretty.

If you ever make them into jewellery, be sure to show us the results! And mind the Dwarves while you're at it.

""What, you're gonna hog all fifty anyway? No fair! Who are you, King Thingol? It's not like they're fifty Silmarils.""

That'll take a while. By while I mean years.

*plops down in a chair* Survived 40 parent-teacher conferences so far. Only 20 or so left to go. Someone fetch me a cuppa please... >_<

Noble Elf Lord · 01-16-2015, 06:36 AM

*rushes a cup to Mari*

Wow. Great work.

**Mari** · 01-16-2015, 12:42 PM

Thanks! *burns throat in rush to get some in tea in her stomach*
Somewhere I must have British blood in me: I do believe tea solves everything :P

Heh, no surprise there, with you being an Elf Lord and such.

That said, diamond cutters can take years to decide on the perfect cut of a specific stone. High craft takes time.

Sounds like a real marathon, and just as tiring. No too-difficult parents, I hope?

It does, but then the British go and ruin it all by insisting on adding milk!

Noble Elf Lord · 01-17-2015, 09:05 AM

I have the time, EÃ¤rn...

Weren't those the Americans?

Wut, they do it too? Sacrilege!

***VarnafindÃ«*** · 01-19-2015, 04:44 AM

In defense of the British, I'd say that some teas are quite nice with a little milk.
Some other teas, though, not so nice.
Earl Grey tea isn't very nice with milk - I don't know whether even the British add milk to Earl Grey tea.

Noble Elf Lord · 01-19-2015, 06:14 AM

I know of no worse tea than the Earl Grey... >_>

***Earniel*** · 01-19-2015, 09:54 AM

To each their own, when it comes to tea, I suppose.

Me, I don't like the flowery or fruit teas, but Earl Grey, I like.

tolkienfan · 01-20-2015, 12:12 PM

Earl Grey with milk is my favorite!

**Mari** · 01-21-2015, 04:11 AM

I like tea with milk and sugar. It's one of my guilty pleasures...

Noble Elf Lord · 01-21-2015, 09:11 AM

But... but Earl Grey's so bitter...

Try lapsang souchong. It smells like bacon and old socks, but it tastes delicious!

**Mari** · 01-23-2015, 01:37 PM

But the smell is half the joy of tea! o_O

***RÃan*** · 01-27-2015, 02:57 AM

Earl Grey is very controversial

I usually don't like it, but just came across a brand that I just LOVE!

My favorite is Constant Comment, a stupidly-named but delicious tea.

Well, why do you think they've invented sugar?

I dunno, the bacon's kinda enticing...
