ysobelAmusement of the day: browsing TVTropes and having one of the banner ads be for a book by ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
suricattus. (I usually have banner-ad blindness, but some part of my brain /did/ see that ad and recognize it [the cover art and book name in combination] and bring it to conscious attention.)
Said TVT browsing also led me to http://sswftapa.blogspot.com/2007/01/lord-of-errors-or-who-really-killed.html, which is hilarious and painful. ("... the very last bastions of the mighty woodland reaches of the Elder Days, where the Firstborn One mooed while the race of Men were still asleep")
When I was a kid, I wanted to be a translator of books. I still want that, but I don't know that I'll ever have a good enough knowledge of another language to do it /right/.
