Dec. 9th, 2014 11:16 amHow I Defeated the Tolkien Estate.
Using my knowledge of Adûni, Quenya, and Sindarin, and the unauthorized copy of the Red Book, I undertook my translation. My goal was never to match Tolkien’s masterful prose, but to provide a more literal translation into English and fix Tolkien’s errors. I also wanted to restore the real names of the characters and settings, in place of Tolkien’s whimsical anglicizations. You won’t find Frodo Baggins or Samwise Gamgee of the Shire in my version of The Lord of the Rings. You’ll find Maura Labingi and Banazîr Galbasi of Sûzat.Via The Toast, of course.
What is it about this cardigan?
Dec. 9th, 2014 01:04 pmNo, really: what is it about this sweater? Coworkers tell me all the time that they love it, and I've had total strangers stop me to tell me how much they like it. I mean, I think it's nice, otherwise I wouldn't have bought it, but I'm not quite seeing why so many people are that enamored of it.

Perhaps it exudes pheromones? It can't hurt that it's purple and the school I work at has purple as one of its colors, but overall I think I'm going with the pheromones hypothesis until something better pops up.
ETA: In case anyone wants to know, it's a Joe Brown cardigan that I bought from Simply Be in 2013. I don't see that particular one on sale anymore, but there's others there, and Googling for "Joe Brown's clothing" will get you places that sell non-plus-size versions of the brand, although mostly in the UK. There's some on Amazon too. I'd describe the brand overall as sort of boho/funky.
