oh, dance in the dark of night and sing to the morning light...

The Road goes ever on and on
Down from the door where it began.
Now far ahead the Road has gone,
And I must follow, if I can,
Pursuing it with eager feet,
Until it joins some larger way
Where many paths and errands meet.
And whither then? I cannot say.



On January 3rd Tolkien fans around the world are invited to raise a glass and toast the birthday of this much loved author at 21:00 (9 pm) your local time.

The toast is "The Professor".

For those unfamiliar with British toast-drinking ceremonies: To make the Birthday Toast, you stand, raise a glass of your choice of drink (not necessarily alcoholic), and say the words 'The Professor' before taking a sip (or swig, if that's more appropriate for your drink). Sit and enjoy the rest of your drink.

More info here.

Thanks to rakshi and pegkerr, among others. *cheers*


And hey, if you missed the toast? Toast anyway, whenever. He's worth it. *g*

I have Freixenet Cordon Negro Brut. And I wish very much that you lived closer, devotchka. We really, really need to plan a Meetup.

*admires really really slashy M/K icon* Agent Mulder is looking rugged and tasty there, and I'm not usually a big Duchovny kinda chick.

Yes, we do definitely need to plan a meetup. *adds to list of IMPORTANT THINGS THAT MUST BE DONE after comps are finished* (First one's Monday! Wish me luck!)
