Shit weather today led to half an hour spent in the basement at work as a tornado came very close to campus. The emergency warnings led to some people saying, "Do we really need to go to the basement?" Um, the public areas have very large windows because this building was constructed before AC and so there is a LOT OF GLASS THAT CAN SPAGHETTIIZE YOU. YES WE'RE GOING TO THE FUCKING BASEMENT.
(Oh yeah, that's why I work in public services. Why do you ask?)
After that the day got better, although one of my students couldn't "find" her reading for class today--even though it's online, the url is in the syllabus, we showed where the link to it is on the class website last week.... I don't know. Kids. Oy.
Spent some time looking for Lord of the Rings fanzines and ILLing some stuff. I have a vague idea for a paper about Constructing Lothiriel since anyone who has to write her is basically creating an OFC and this fascinates me.
Anyhow, got the Heinlein bio and looking forward to that. Also finished Mockingjay which I'll review at length more later--I'm still chewing it over and now am toying with the idea of a Reboot/Hunger Games AU. IDEK.

You know he named it Elvish Elegance- Gain the flawless taste developed over millennia.
and Gimli's totally leaving his boots all over the place and having his feet on the coffee table with his big toe sticking out of a hole, leaving crumbs everywhere and slowly driving Legolas closer and closer to the edge until Gimli is forced to flee to Gondor for the weekend to hang out with Aragorn
