I’m actually doing a whole lot of things this weekend but I have so many The Rings of Powers thoughts in my head that I thought I’d put at least one down here. And that made me reconsider how I am using this blog. I feel occasional lists of what I am reading is going to be boring especially when I’m rereading the same thing over and over again for various research projects. I can’t do reviews (yet!) because there’s no time, but I do have a lot of thoughts about various things. So, I decided to move my popular culture-related Postal Modern Theatrette here, leaving Growing Fins only for music. After all, movies and videos are visual texts, and are things that you can borrow from libraries as well. Also, many of the things I want to talk about are adaptations and connected to the written word.
For now, there’s probably going to be more than one musing on The Rings of Power for you to read. Well, for when I have time. You should see this weekend’s academic to-do list! But since I actualfax had a Sauron nightmare last night I *had* to blog about how I perceive him, as Middle Earth’s middle manager!
I’ve also decided to remove the language-learning/chess notes for the same reason I don’t put my music-learning notes on blog posts anymore. I want to enjoy these things and the learning process without putting additional pressure on myself!
