camwynAnd not in a 'brain dirty' way, either. Dehydration headache, I think, despite drinking much water to make up for blood loss yesterday.
Going to store to get ingredients for my part of dinner tonight; am repeating last year's Lenten fast, namely, no meat & no other food products that specifically required a member of the Kingdom Animalia to die. (If my family gives me puzzled looks about not eating fish ONE... MORE... TIME...) Well aware that vegetables, even organic ones, are farmed by means that kill insects but there is no real help for that as I am not about to become a Jain.
Must find more muffin rings.
Have got Lluhadi of Rydmick in my head now. Must come up with last name for the yellow-headed hairy-footed pudgy bastard. argh.
Right, that's it, off to the market with me.

Date: 2004-03-12 06:49 am (UTC)I have no idea how much to distort the names we have in Tolkien to suit the needs of the late Sixth Age. I'm always irritated by stuff like the Future Folk years of ElfQuest, where a spacegoing civilization was using what amounted to direct English translations of the Elvish names for everything- when the elves who had set down most of those names had left the area more than ten thousand years ago. Alas, I'm not a linguist, so the most I can do is peer around at extant Very Old Indeed languages and place names and hope that my changes are neither too much nor too little. 'Lluhadi' is an example of this; Tolkien said in one of his notes that the 'eo-' syllable in the names of many Rohirrim meant 'horse' and was actually more accurately rendered 'lo-' or 'loho-'. I figured it couldn't hurt to push that a little bit...
But I am particularly proud of Rydmick. Thanks for figuring it out!
