Well I am sure David Beckham's house has wardrobes bigger than my house and it is very untidy rather scruffy so you may want to rethink that

but it probably has a lot more books

I would not be sure of that, he probably have thousands of copies of "My Side" and "My World" in order to make sure that they sold better than the books of Alex Ferguson and Steven Gerrard.

but I am guessing you won't find a complete set of HoME.... which just goes to show that even a house costing many millions of pounts can be inadequately equipped....

It was a brief moment in a weird dream (aren't they all?) that ended somewhere where I was trying to figure out whether I had a project due (in college), what classroom I was supposed to be in, if there were anything due for that class that I was going to be late for, and what day was it anyway. This, of course, was the start of the old anxiety dream that would happen when I actually was in college, but since then the rational mind has prepared an antidote, like when was the last time I actually had no idea what day it was (except when I am initially waking up), what were the chances I would not have some schedule written down, and was I ever that forgetful that I'd forget a critical assignment?

But anyway, as I scurried to my next location, which I wasn't sure of but followed the crowd hoping that I was in the same class as they were in, I happened to glance sideways at an entranceway ornately adored with woodwork and glass, and above there were the the words, "the Tolkienization of..."

Of what? I guess I'll never know as I was pushed along with the crowd, and so never got more than a glimpse. I did see some books displayed within the glass cases, and this entranceway seemed to be the door to an entire museum, but...I wanted to go back and take a picture, as I thought, "Won't this make a great post for the Downs?"

Maybe next time.

I had a dream I can only vaguely remember. Legate of Amon Lanc, The Might, Lalwendë and William Cloud Hickli were having a lively discussion or debate on some subject in the Books forum and I was reading the thread. Unfortunately, I can't remember what they were talking about.
