Re: Curious and Other Stuff

First off on oficial essay business, I just wanted to agree that Christopher Lee was awesome. I had read something slightly different than what was said. I don't remember where I read it, but I thought it was that he read the Trilogy once a year for something over 37 years. I did hear that he would stump people on the set with Tolkien Trilogy. I thought his portrayal was perfect.

Okay now to reply to the article entitled curious. I agree it would be fun to get a personality to the names. Here is what I will share.

I am from Utah, studying Computer Science. I am an artist, and a writer on the side. You can check my art out at http://students.cs.byu.edu/~danst go to the fanart section for my Tolkien work, or you can go to my elfwood site at http://elfwood.lysator.liu.se/loth/d/a/dannyst/dannyst.html

Along the artist lines, I try to depict things that I have either never seen before but Tolkien related, or from a perspective or point of view that is totally original. Anyone who wants to check out my Tolkien pieces and share ideas can feel free to contact me through the email address I have on those sites, or post ideas here. Maybe people would enjoy that, then again maybe I am the only one.
