...Rivendell 5! Ever since I watched The Hobbit , I've had a case of LordoftheRingsitis . Symptoms of LordoftheRingsitis include daydreaming about elves, dwarves, and/or hobbits, bringing up Middle Earth in as many conversations as possible, the constant doodling, drabbling, and babbling of things related to Lord of the Rings, and making LotR themed blog posts. Causes: reading the books, watching the movies, and/or catching a glimpse of anything involving LotR. Cure: at this time, there is none. If you contract LordoftheRingsitis , the best way to cope is to get a piece of it out of your system (see below sample). Rivendell 5 A crossover of Babylon 5 and Lord of the Rings Babylon 5 was created by J. Michael Straczynski Lord of the Rings was created by J. R. R. Tolkien I've been meaning to update my blog's banner and background, so I figured today would be a good day to go ahead and do that! It coincides with the Sci-Fi theme of Rivendell 5 . The untit

I made my own prompt this week…I couldn’t help myself. The weather here is finally showing the warm, comforting signs of Spring. I can finally shed my pants for skirts, walk barefoot in the grass, and hang out in the house without layers and layers of hoodies and blankets. I have a hard time deciding if I like Spring most, or if I like Fall. Both seasons are mild and full of color. There’s just something fun about the friendly swish of my skirt against my calves as I take a stroll...and I fully admit that I sometimes walk into my backyard and pretend that it’s really Rivendell. There are dozens (if not hundreds) of birds where I live. They are particularly chipper and active in the Spring, which adds to the entire setting. It sure is a bummer being cooped up indoors during the week, but daydreaming and wandering around doesn’t exactly earn one money (as much as I’d like to find a job doing just that!).  I’m Romanticizing the season, I know! There are stormy days and rainy nights th

Not even twitter prompts could jar my muse into action today! I think I know the source of my current, listless state of being. There are some nights when my mind doesn’t know when to shut itself off. I’ll lay there for hours while my busy-body brain chatters about anything and everything. When I do fall asleep, I always wake up an hour or two later, and my mind will start jabbering away all over again. My mind decided that last night would be the optimal time for it to figure out what type of person I’d be in Middle Earth (I had just finished watching The Hobbit , the new one). I guess determining that I’d be part elf was serious business and had to be decided then and there. Rivendell is such a lovely place. So, to sum this craziness up, I’m really tired right now.  I finished that neon green/black preview sketch I had posted two weeks ago: Ice?  More Babylon 5 fan art (as if I don't draw enough!)
