Richard Armitage Legenda 101: Stuff worth reading
[Legenda offers a brief, non-inclusive index of stuff about Richard Armitage that I noticed and enjoyed since the last episode. It doesn’t usually include materials presented on the major fansites, which I love dearly, but which are linked in the sidebar. Because I always forget or just miss stuff, please add additional pieces of interest via link in the comments.]

Armitageworld questions
Dwarves, according to Graham McTavish
OT, contexts, collateral attractions, and things I think about
- Stephen Hunter’s (Bombur) got a new movie. Congratulations!
- Tanni’s latest: Adam Brown as Napoleon.
- Now anyone can send you a DM on Twitter. Similarly, now all FB entries are supposed to be searchable (you can’t hide that you have one anymore). As social media take on more and more of the annoying features of landline telephones … will people find other solutions?
- Does the amazing mass of data generated by Google et alia mean that the traditional rules of statistics have been superseded? Will data overflow end the scientific method (hypothesis testing)?
- Canada will possibly end the practice of cable bundling.
- Papaya salad and being in the day as a hedge against melancholy.
- Pumpkin goat cheese alfredo. I’m a sucker for anything with fresh sage in it.
- Fan campaign against Charlie Hunnam said to have caused his separation from upcoming film adaptation of 50 Shades. Causing Xenia to worry. Xenia, I think Armitage’s base salary is probably well above $125,000, which is what Hunnam was getting. I hope it is, anyway.
- Blast from the past! Our beloved Skully returns with a post on what she’s been watching since Spooks ended.
- How you know you live in Senegal.
- Louis Vuitton logo overexposed.
- The blogger pecking order and why we write. And the same thing here, under Rule #16.
- Historical novels about Anne Boleyn (or Katharine Parr) and narrative conventions.
- Brief history of the Cumberbatch craze.
That is not even a question!
Thanks for linking my stories!

Thanks Servetus, again and again for tirelessly compiling all the relevant and the extra-relevant (!) stuff we probably have missed, we wanted to re-read so badly, or stuff we needed to be reminded of. Splendid service, as always!

Today TORN’s twitter feed is a string of toys ads. That, and your lego picture reminded me of the “Tales of Earthsea” foreword “…ideas of great storytellers are … reduced to toys, molded in bright-colored plastic, advertised, sold, broken…” Thorin has all the reasons to flip.

I could sense RA was teasing with the knife up his bum bit. He has a “tell” with his eyebrow lifting ever so slightly in merriment–before he goes into a full on sheepish grin. Such a guy! Ha!
I adore the Thorin Lonely Mountain graphic–and Ania’s Thorin Mosaic you linked to. And I expect that Thorin would never be lonely. Ha!
Thanks also for linking to my Thorin fan fic! Cheers!
P.S. And Lego Thorin popping his “lid”? Priceless!

If I counted every time I stepped on Legos, I think I would run out of numbers. They also hurt the feet too.
Love fresh sage, I got a big plant in my garden and should make the Squash Risotto sometime soon. We got our first frost last week, and that was late but I will not complain since we had fresh green beans last Sunday. All my veg for that meal was out of the garden and the apples off our trees, perfect for having company over.
Been playing catch for the past week on reading, so thanks for Legenda.

Still snowing (nothing sticking to the ground ) today and cold, I just even settle for the 50’s. It is bitter and so is the wind. I still remember the big snow Halloween 1991, we got dumped on and to think I almost took my first outing with my then one month old baby, I was going to go to a bigger town one hour away, decided not to. So glad I chose not to, as I didn’t know about the snow.
