It just now happened again to me and I had to unfollow potus, vp, and flotus again, and this time I blocked them so maybe it will finally stick. I started this on Sunday 1/19 and I’m getting tired of Meta’s shenanigans.

Agreed. Particularly Eraserhead was huge for my friends. What a loss.

Oh, awesome. I love Piranesi and have read and re-read it many times!

I Iove these cookies/biscuits called oatcakes from Effie’s Homemade. And they go really well with some black coffee!

Yeah, I started with those two because they have many very quiet parts. And no noise at all. It was kind of a thrilling time in home audio 😀

I bought my first CD player when I got my first job after college. Two of the first CDs were Melissa Etheridge’s debut and Springsteen’s Nebraska. I was kind of on an acoustic kick at the time and they sounded SO GOOD on CD.

I had always admired rainbow chard from afar 😀 And only finally tried it because of you and Nutrivore!

Despite some issues with it, I have enjoyed it. No adaptation is perfect, and I'd very much rather have an imperfect adaptation than none at all! I love seeing Tolkien's works brought to life, no matter what. So yeah, that's my Tolkien journey thus far, and I'm really digging it.

I plan to at least finish the trilogy and appendices and then finish The Silmarillion this year. That's my goal. I expect I will probably keep going with Unfinished Tales and so on after that. But one thing at a time. I've also watched all of The Rings of Power on Amazon. And...

Since starting (at age 58), I've finished The Hobbit, The Fellowship of the Ring, and The Two Towers. I read other things in between and then come back to Tolkien. I will start The Return of the King here in a few days. I keep watching these great folks, keep browsing my reference companion. Now...

In 2024 the universe seemed to keep putting all kinds of Tolkien in my path. Ultimately, on Instagram and Threads I found the wonderful ExLibrisMir, AirplaneFactsWithMax, Kaia Kay, Celebreabird, and Silmarilleanne. So I decided to start with The Hobbit and keep going, and I did. So far...

He gave me a Tolkien companion reference book -- easy to jump around & consume it a bite at a time. From there I got The Silmarillion and once again started but DNF. I rewatched the extended editions of the PJ films a few times. All of this kept building my general Tolkien knowledge. So then...

I got the three LOTR books in a box set from my oldest brother the early 80s & tried reading The Fellowship of the Ring a couple of times but didn't finish it. Then I saw the Peter Jackson LOTR movies in theaters and at the same time a coworker started telling me about his love of Tolkien. Then...
