Thanks, Dís!

The lovely disthrainsdotte sent me Swedish chocolate. *hugs Dís. Mum sends her thanks, she enjoyed the first taste very much and intends to enjoy the rest as well.

I'll have to finally get my lazy rear in gear and think about Christmas prezzies, too. School was being so stressful this year, I barely went anywhere else than to work and back, so what Christmas presents I'll be sending out at all, won't likely arrive before New Year's Eve... and I'm looking at things optimistically, mind you. I wish I could send out batches of cookies, as they would at least be hand-made and with love, but customs being what they are, I won't take that risk. *sighs*

Another gruelling week to face, and then there will finally be Christmas break. *prays fervently* I haven't been this ridiculously tired, both physically and mentally, for a long time. And considering how tired I usually am at this time of the year, that's saying a lot.

At least writer's block seems to be broken for the time being. In the last two days, I was able to work a tiny bit on "Smiths & Joneses", my Torchwood story featuring the Doctor's daughter.

Richard Armitage, who plays Thorin, has quite a fannish following in the UK, so I expect he'll get some action.

I saw him as one of the main villains in "Robin Hood", and I also saw pictures of him as Thorin. I must say, it's a bit strange for me; most other Dwarves seem older than him.

I had got the impression, for some reason, that Thorin was relatively young to be in the leadership position, and that many of the dwarves in the company were older than him. I don't know where I got that idea from, though.

Well, according to the Appendices, he's the oldest of them all, save perhaps Balin.

Ah, I must have just got the wrong end of the stick when I first read The Hobbit.
