Photo of the Day
Things were a little odder than usual in Downtown Baltimore this weekend with Otakon in town. Lots of people in costumes waving around plastic (I hope!) swords. Good times were had (I hope!) by all. Anway, there were some photos of the festivities in the local paper today. I fell in love with the image below immediately. It's all kinds of awesome.

DORI, NORI & ORI: These three brothers, all sons of the same mother, could not be more different from each other. Dori, the oldest, spends much of his time watching out for Ori, the youngest; making sure he's not caught a chill or got himself killed by Wargs or Goblins. Nobody quite knows what Nori gets up to most of the time, except that it's guaranteed to be dodgy and quite probably, illegal. Dori, Nori and Ori are intensely loyal to each other – and whilst they are perfectly happy fighting amongst themselves, woe-betide anyone who means harm to one of these brothers.
Not-So-Random YouTubery
Video Description: Basically, it's just Legolas saying "They're taking the Hobbits to Isengard!" over and over, set to a dance version of the LOTR theme, interspersed with funny reaction shots from Aragorn and Gollum. At one point, Celeborn shows up to say, "Tell me, where is Gandalf, for I much desire to speak with him," and Legolas replies, "A Balrog of Morgoth." The video ends with Gollum shouting, "Leave now! And never come back!"
I know that sounds completely stupid, but it is utterly hilarious. I laugh endlessly every time I watch it.

Set Phasers to Squeeeeeeeeeeee!
Shaker allgoodtees just sent me the link to the first pictures of Martin Freeman as Bilbo Baggins. I won't post them here because I don't want to accidentally spoil anything for anyone who's studiously avoiding all Hobbit-related stuff until they've got the popcorn in their hands and the lights have gone down, but EVERYONE ELSE GO LOOK! IT'S MARTIN FREEMAN AS BILBO BAGGINS!

Three honest-to-Maude true Hobbit-related facts about me:
1. I have seen the Rankin-Bass animated version of The Hobbit more than 100 times, and I own a 12-inch vinyl audio version of it that I listened to incessantly when I was a kid. I practically know it by heart.
2. I was so terrified of Gollum when I was a kid that I had recurring nightmares about him and MamaShakes had to tear a picture of Gollum out of a Hobbit coloring book I had because it scared me so badly.
3. When I was 17, I and another female classmate were wearing sandals in class one day, and a male classmate noticed we each had a few wispy hairs on our big toes, which naturally was the Grossest Thing Ever OMG!!!!1!!eleventy!!1! ... I responded to the crescendoing mockery with the first thing that came to my head: "FUCK OFF WE'RE HOBBITS!"
