Trying to Find Mirkwood

I'm Asia, a 20 year old who lives in Hawai'i. I'm obsessed with characters from The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings, especially Thranduil, Lee Pace, and Alexander Skarsgård.

My friend and I went to the movies this weekend. Benedict Cumberbatch came up in our conversation. I said he sometimes looks like a little shark. She added that he sometimes looks like an underdeveloped shark.

I took my mom and stepdad to watch Guardians of the Galaxy last night. They both recognized Lee Pace by his voice. My plan to turn them into Pace fans is working...

Have we reached the fires of Mount Doom yet, Mr. Frodo? By the way, why is there greenery and an ocean in this Mordor?

I know, shameless selfie, but the terrain on the weekend's hike was too perfect.

Today I was at a graduation ceremony for a big acting school in Los Angeles and one of the speakers was a producer on Fargo and he was telling stories and one of them was that the cast and crew went bowling once and they had some sort of tournament or something and it ended up being Martin Freeman against Billy Bob Thornton and Martin Freeman beat Billy Bob and when he did he jumped up into the air and screamed “YES I BEAT THAT FUCKER!!” and that was my favorite story of the day

Reblogging because all I fantasize about lately is this mofo (obscenity meant in an adoring way).

When an amalgamation of names turns glorious.

My family is the type that gathers around the TV to watch the encore HCF episode after I tell them Lee Pace sucked face with another man.

My step dad and I were watching Halt and Catch Fire reruns this morning. When we reached the scene where Joe's shirt is unbuttoned because he wrestled with Gordon, he turns to me saying, "Now I think this scene is meant to be dramatic, not to have you going 'Oh yeah.'" He did the high pitched voice too.

I obviously comment on that scene often.

Here are the photos I took during the 2014 Maui Film Festival Joe Manganiello tribute last night. After the tribute, La Bare, a documentary directed by Joe and produced by his brother, Nicholas, was screened. His brother is in the last three photos. Thought I'd share --- enjoy!

Ancient 900-lb monster croc gets name from LOTR character

Here's an intriguing paragraph from this Daily Digest News article by Ian Lang:

"Balrogus, which tangled with enormous ancient snakes and turtles in the Amazon Rainforest for a few million years after the dinosaurs went extinct, gets its name from the “Balrog” creature mentioned in J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings series. Like the fictional Balrog, balrogus was found deep within a mine. This one happened to be the Cerrejón coal mine of northern Colombia, not the Mines of Moria, but still a mine all the same."
