Tolkien was a student at Exeter and taught the majority of his career at Pembroke, but a plebeian like me cannot visit those colleges. I was able to visit Merton, which is where Tolkien finished his career as a professor at Oxford ❤️

深夜にポチってしまった、GLAMITE ✖️ LotR collectionがやって来たのですが、あまりのデカさに思わず笑ってしまいました😅 最近仕事でバタバタしていたので届くがままになっていた最近加わったLotRのコレクターグッズとサイズ比較してみましたが、季節を間違えたクリスマスコフレでしょうかね？？？TRPGのゲームブックがこのサイズなのでA3サイズはあります… 付録の合皮の丸いショルダーバッグ、リップのセット3つ(裂け谷、夕星姫、御目様)、一つの指輪の金のハイライト、そしてキャライメージのカラーパレット🎨💄 使うならカラーパレットでしょうかね🤔

ライブ前に、名駅の高島屋にある赤福氷を食べ、徳川美術館で「初音の調度」の展覧会を観てきました。 赤福氷、結構何年ぶりかに食したのですが、相変わらず美味…今年の初かき氷だったので尚更美味しく感じたのかもしれません。 「初音の調度」は展示されているのがこれでも一部という将軍家の威信をかけた贅沢さに圧倒されました。

ハンス・ジマー・ライブ＠名古屋IGアリーナ🏟️🎵 時間仕事やりくりして行ってきましたー！ 演奏も演出も本当にサイコーでした🙌 今回のライブの楽曲は全て観たことのある映画だったので、あの映画やこの映画…と、思い出しながら見られてとても楽しかったです😆 (プロ機材撮影禁止、スマホは撮影OKでした、手ブレはワクワクしながら聞いていたからなのですみません)

Love the book cover. From @harpercollins.bsky.social "It’s designed by Emily Langford based on a picture by Tolkien – it’s quite unlike any other cover we’ve done, although we have been at pains to ensure that the spines will match!"

Another edition of the Roving Ranger has just been sent to its subscribers. Including: Giancola at NYTC; Window on Eru; Tower and Ruin; Gollum effect; fantastic architecture; uncanny magic; new Hobbit graphic novel; Mordor eye shadow?; MEBSG scenarios and more... steadyhq.com/en/thetolkie...

I just looked at the eyeshadow palette details. Can I be a hater for a sec, why is the shade for Legolas "Greenleaf" brown, and Lothlorien the Golden Wood BLUE? smh 😤

This is probably one of the fastest write-ups I have ever done on any given exhibition and/ or event. 😌 The reason is that I have been/ am travelling at a total of over 30 hrs by train (Fr-Mo) and I love to work while travelling. So - here you go. GO VISIT THE #TOLKIEN TAPESTRIES (and carpets)!

12年間ウェリントン空港に飾られていたガンダルフの乗った鷲の飾りがとうとう今週金曜に取り外されることになったそうです🥲 何か新しいものに取り替える予定とWETAのリチャード・テイラー氏が仰っているので、それを楽しみにしたいです。 www.rnz.co.nz/news/nationa... アンディ・サーキス監督の下、ゴラムの新作映画化が進んでいるので、それ関連かなぁと個人的に推測していますが、いかがでしょうか？😏以前ゴラムがお魚を捕まえる場面も飾られていたこともありましたし…

Wellington Airport's giant, Hobbit-themed eagles to be replaced "The two 15m-wide eagles - and Gandalf, who is riding one of them - will be dismantled on Friday night and placed into storage. Their future however remains up in the air, with a decision yet to be made" www.rnz.co.nz/news/nationa...
