---

Mjooo, 2000 dalyvių… tokią minią sutvarkyti reikėjo neeilinių sugebėjimų, nes dabar ir 141 seimūnas, sprendžiant iš komitetų sudarymo cirko, Lietuvos labui dirbt nesiruošia

Ar lengva būti J.R.R.Tolkino anūku?

Interviu su Saimonu Tolkinu, J.R.R.Tolkino naūku apie nelengvą senelio šolvės naštą:
From Simon’s point of view, the problem with the films wasn’t how they portrayed his grandfather’s work – though he thinks that the first in the trilogy was better than the others – but rather that they catapulted the Tolkien family into the realms of media mega-fame. “When I was growing up, people were reading my grandfather’s books but it wasn’t what you’d call the defining factor of our family,” he says.
“All that changed when the films came along. They were a massive global hit, and everywhere you went the name of Tolkien meant something.”
That affected Simon’s wife, Tracy, and their son Nicholas, 22: Tracy has said he was teased at school, nicknamed “the hobbit”, when his great-grandfather’s fame grew. But Simon says he’s not worried about his younger daughter Anna, 10, with the new film due out soon. “She is very proud of being related to JRR Tolkien – and in America, where she’s growing up, they are a lot more comfortable with the idea of being related to someone famous.”

Apie pasaulio pabaigą

Ei, ar čia tik aš vienas esu susirūpinęs dėl artėjančios pasaulio pabaigos? Kažkaip tikėjausi, kad miestų aikštėse bus pastatyti didžiuliai laikrodžiai, kuriuose vyks atbulinė atskaita iki gruodžio 21 dienos, bet, panašu, kad niekam tas nerūpi
