That awkward moment when you see a “Report notification” for the first time in weeks and think to yourself “Oh, there’s someone reporting something.” and then it creeps up on you… I am the moderator and it’s my job to deal with that. (We're not mentioning that I’m also the one who made the damned spam report!)

The archives are slowly creeping to life! The New indexes are roling out with some changes I’m sure authors will like.

Alrighty then…

I watched Episode 5 of the Rings of Power.  

There is so much wrong in this episode I don’t even know where to start!

1.  Mithril is not a melted Silmaril.  The Silmarilli cannot be destroyed.  
2. Galadriel is wearing the sigil for the House of Feanor.  She is not of that house.  She is of the House of Finarfin.
3. Tar-Miriel never went to Middle Earth.  In fact, when Ar-Pharazon goes to Middle Earth, by this time, he has forced Tar-Miriel into marriage and usurped the throne of Numenor.  She is supposed to be Queen Regnant, not Queen Regent.

I could go on further, but this episode has me even more furious at how they have destroyed the legendarium.

Took a short break as I’ve noticed a lot of invalid avatars in the user profiles.

Watching the Expanse.  Imagine having the actor credit of “puking diplomat” on your resume?

Ever have a story idea so stupid that you had to write it, just to see if you could pull it off?

I have had such an idea. It’s a furry story about four boys from a racoon-like race whose island home is under occupation by tiger-like invaders. The boys manage to find an ancient artifact that they hope will give them superpowers to drive the invaders away.

Instead, the artifact turns them into a boy band. 

God help me, the story going to be called “Band Together.”

What I say: "Hekapoo" (the name of a character from Star Vs. the Forces of Evil).

What my phone hears: "Heckapoo," "pecapoo," "Hackaboo," "Packaboo," or "Hecka poop," depending on its mood.

Sending out wishes for a very happy birthday to my very dear friend Melrick. Unfortunately, they won’t let me ship you a Key Lime pie from JG Melon’s!
