I have been reading the about the imaginary worlds of Tolkien for the last ten days now and its hard to stay in touch with reality after that. In just one week I have finished The Children of Hurin and The Silmarillion books and trust me, I am only able to think about the Elves and the Valars only during my waking hours. In fact I even had a dream in which I was an Elvish lord. But when one thinks of this stuff, its amazingly easy to draw analogies between the races of the Middle Earth plus the lands far beyond its realm and the actual world.
Another thing is the way Tolkien writes. I almost read them as if I singing. And it got so onto my mind that sometimes I start using that poem like style in my thoughts and that is a very distracting thing to happen when you have serious things to think about.
The only other thing I have done in last 10 days is watch the latest Final Destination in which they finally negate the whole point of the first three parts. Anyhow it was a good watch partly because the movie hall was empty but some 7-8 odd people at an ungodly hour.
And the latest thing on the Done List happens to be this post which was just for passing time as the last 50MB of The People vs Larry Flynt are downloaded onto my computer. Got a busy night ahead. 26 seconds left. Time just enough to say bye. Still 10 seconds left. Ah!
