Post your favourite LOTR character. Wrong answers only.
The Babadook as it’s depicted in the creepy kids’ picture book in the movie: black and white, hanging from the ceiling, dangling over a terrified child as they stare up at it from their bed. Text from the book, however, has been altered to read: sup heteros.

Want to see the biggest sigh you’ve ever heard?

Path of Dog 🐾🐾🐾
A snow filled fenced-in backyard as seen from a second story window. The snow is deep, and this is made very apparent by the haphazard path the dog has made going in and backtracking back to the house, leaving the rest of the yard pristine smooth.

It may be snowing a bit out there tonight.

Watching Last Holiday (2006), not just because it’s a holiday movie (it is!) but also because I just love it ❤️
Queen Latifah as Georgia Byrd. She’s wearing a gorgeous red dress and is seated in a fancy hotel’s fancy restaurant being waited on by three formally attrited servers (two men in white and a woman in black). She’s ordered all the specials and is about to dig in. Subtitles read: - [GASP] - BON APPETIT.

OK. My dad just dropped by with Chinatown bành mì BUT also left a broken-ass curbside lawnmower with me that I have to store in my garage until he “has time” to fix it.

So…day, if not outright improving, definitely evening out.
A superb bành mì with a nice amount of herbs sitting on my desk sitting in my desk.

Having a bad day, so naturally I stress bought a cheesecake.
A medium seized strawberry swirl cheesecake atop some other groceries (carrots, a pack of ramen noodles). Expiration tag 25no30 but let’s be real I won’t be needing that much time.

Cryptid sighting 🐾
A black standard poodle curled up in her crate with her legs tangled up and her head thrown over her shoulders. She’s bleeping her tongue out and has a slightly ornery expression on her face. Her hair is weirdly poofy as she’s just come out of a bath.

If you ask any girl from the parish around,
What pleases her most from her head to her toes;
She'll say, "I'm not sure that it's business of yours,
But I do like to waltz with a log driver.”

Pomelo season starting off with this Abosolute Unit™️
My hand holding up a gigantic yellow-green pomelo. It is so large you can see how my wrist strains just trying not to drop it. Behind it: a messy kitchen counter and sink and a dishrack full of dishes.
