Anar caluva tielyanna – The Sun shall shine upon your path. (Source)
Elen sÃla lúmenn’ omentielvo – A star shines on the hour of our meeting. (Source)
These phrases come from Tolkien’s high-elf language called Quenya.
I first discussed Quenya on this blog over five years ago in a post about Elvish Names, and more recently in the comments on my post about Dancing 2008.
Resources:
• Parma Penyane Quettaron – “Book of Missed Words”
• quenya lapseparma – Elvish names
• English-Quenya Dictionary
• Quenya-English Dictionary
There’s a ridiculous amount of resources available if you check out the Quenya Wikipedia page and references. And of course, Google.

Go watch Dr. Horrible w/ all speed possible! It is hilarious. Apparently, it’s only gonna be streaming on the web until July 20, 2008. (With plans for a DVD at some unspecified point in the future.)
Oh, and there’s a short comic about Captain Hammer on Myspace if you want to read that.
Dr. Horrible is made by Joss Whedon. Yeah. If you know the name, you know it’ll be worth your time.
If you’ve ever wondered how great a singing super-villain show could be, this is your chance to find out!

Dancing 2008 from Where the Hell Is Matt?
I found this video incredibly inspiring. It’s one further push in the direction I’m leaning.
“Which direction is that?” you ask.
Whichever direction takes me around the world. Seattle is a good center point, but I need to TRAVEL!!! All y’all in Nebraska or Kansas or Illinois or Colorado or wherever who are married or working or in college… well, I’m hoping to take advantage of my singleness and my freeness and do something spectacular with it. Now I’ve just gotta work on my dance moves. Perhaps I should ask Jake for some pointers?

I just discovered Animoto, a music video creator. You feed it your images and a song you want to use and it uses its magical math skills to fit the images to the beat.
It let’s you create 30-second videos for free. Longer videos with additional features cost either $3/video or $30/year.
For now, I’m sticking w/ the free video option. My first attempt at creating one is below using pictures from the recent trip Benjamin and Suzanne took to visit me.
