Since Without a Trace was advertising it as the arrival of Sam's baby bunting, I skipped the episode in favor of working on my SPNfic. I know nothing of real-life labor and delivery, but the TV version is usually patent garbage. The actresses grunt and scrunch and low like butt-raped cattle, hair frazzled and in lanky, stringy hanks, faces artfully red. They huff and groan and usually choose the most ridiculous location to give birth. I once saw Lily from Crossing Jordan give birth on Garrett Macy's desk. Anyway, I had no desire to watch Poppy Montgomery make like a constipated tick hound and take a biological dump all over the FBI field office. Did I miss any first-rate drama?
On the bibliophilic front, one of my recent buys was The Unfinished Tales of Middle-Earth by the parasitic conservator of the Tolkien legacy, Christopher Tolkien. I've yet to start, but I'm hoping it will shed more light on the history of the Elves. Apparently, there is a whole series of texts exploring the history and creation of Middle Earth. They were selling a set of five for fifty dollars, but I was leery. Are they worth the expense in the opinions of LOTR fans?
Roomie is at the grocery store, and I need to research Hamburger Hill and the presence and scope of troops of color during WWII for my SPNfic, so I bid you a temporary adieu.
ETA: And this is why research is your friend. Hamburger Hill was a battle in Vietnam, not WWII; the battle I was looking for was the Battle of the Bulge. Viva research.
