Aganzir · 01-26-2012, 08:04 AM

Sounds good! I have no plans yet for either day.

Eönwë · 01-26-2012, 04:09 PM

I should have a few hours free.

Eönwë · 02-17-2012, 03:16 PM

I'll be on today for as long as I can stand this chair. Watching updates and installing software on my new lappy what has a new and fancy webcam (ooooo). Spiffy times.

Oddwen · 03-31-2012, 10:56 AM

Heyyyyyyy! It's been a loooooooong time you guys! Anyone want to do some Hobbit reading or silliness next weekend? I'll be available after 12:30ish MDT on Sat, a bit later on Sunday.

Aganzir · 04-02-2012, 04:36 AM

I shall ask my fellow Finns, the Czech and the normal English person I will be spending time with in the weekend.

Kath · 04-02-2012, 12:13 PM

The normal English person is up for this.

Oddwen · 04-07-2012, 12:52 PM

I'll be on for a while, then - hope to see some of you

Aganzir · 04-08-2012, 08:30 AM

Aa sorry we forgot all about this!

Tonight make work though. I'll keep you informed.

Oddwen · 10-06-2012, 12:01 PM

Hey everyone! We're sort of skyping now - we have a couple possible readings planned depending on how many people join. Come wiiiithhh uuuuuus!

Oddwen · 10-19-2012, 04:29 PM

So we are probably gathering again tomorrow afternoon/evening. This time we will really, really, really co-operate to read some actual Tolkien. I can't promise it won't be using silly voices though.

Oddwen · 11-03-2012, 02:22 PM

Galadriel55, Hookbill and I are currently skyping. We haven't discussed Tolkien yet, but that can easily change. Come join us!

Galadriel55 · 12-15-2012, 12:32 PM

Is anyone available now? There's a slim chance that there might actually be a reading today, and a good chance there will be lots of nonesense talk!

Galadriel55 · 12-15-2012, 01:51 PM

Anyone?

Aganzir · 01-03-2013, 05:10 AM

Hey would anyone like to do a Skype reading today? Starting between 4-8 PM GMT would be optimal for us in Finland, but we're flexible.

Wait... so, starting around now? I think I might be able to do it a bit later. Like, a couple hours later. But I can't promise since I have no clue what I'm supposed to do during the day. I might be dragged off to someplace.

Aganzir · 01-03-2013, 10:58 AM

It will take us about an hour to get online - now it's cooking time!

I'm free for a couple hours starting now, which is, I think, when you're free too? Are you skyping from Lommy's skype? I'm trying to add her because hers is the only skype name I found.

Legate of Amon Lanc · 01-03-2013, 12:02 PM

I will be around, since I have just recovered my voice, so apart from an occassional cough there should be no problem with talking. Apparently, the Finnish-squad are all now eating, but will be present in a while after that.

We're free now, and we're using my account (scavengerlikeme). Will be online in five minutes.

TheGreatElvenWarrior · 01-17-2013, 09:54 PM

I have, unfortunately, missed the last few Skype sessions.

I was wondering when another one of these will be held. I will not be able to attend anything in the next two weeks, but after that I am open for any time. So, will we be planning another one of these soon?

Galadriel55 · 01-26-2013, 12:44 PM

Would anyone be available later today? It looks like I'm going to be free in a couple hours, and I could use a good skype session.

Aganzir · 01-26-2013, 01:54 PM

I will, or well it depends on your definition of 'later'. I've stayed up waaay too long lately and I'd like to go to bed before 2 my time, which is in four hours.

I'm basically waiting for my dearest family to finally leave (they should do so before the hour is out) so that I can do whatever I want. But if you're pressed for time I can make myself available (ie hide in my room and lock the door) as soon as possible. Either way, my skype's turned on, so anytime.

Galadriel55 · 01-26-2013, 03:23 PM

I am very much availabe by now. If anyone's around?...

Aganzir · 01-26-2013, 04:27 PM

Aw sorry I got distracted making babies with Dean O'Gorman on MorphThing. I'm online now.

Aganzir · 01-26-2013, 08:26 PM

Okay what was supposed to be a short reading call on my part is still going on. We have just concluded that after casting the Silmaril into the sea, Maglor went insane, grew a massive beard and started living in a forest. Singing Ding-a-dong dillo. Also, I put my headphones back on when Hookbill was just saying how he wants to be Durin III's pet, he can give him a shiny collar and everything.
He, Eönwë, G55 and I have also read lots of Tolkien poems in English, Finnish, Russian, Swedish, Hungarian, and Hebrew.

Don't forget that he also shrunk in the wash!

What wash?

One of Goldberry's cleaning days, probably.

That was quite cool. We should do it again.

I believe I was using my mind-reading powers to see what Agan was thinking.

It was a lot of fun! Tolkien's songs and poems are always a delight. I wish I knew more of them by heart. We had 'In Moria in Khazad-dum', 'Gil-Gallad', 'Old Tom Bombadil', and many Rohiric songs! We need to do this again some time!

Eönwë · 02-18-2013, 12:07 PM

Aganzir · 02-18-2013, 04:12 PM

It's kind of late, but I have Lommy making a presentation and Kath & Hookbill reading in the kitchen, and if someone else is around right about now, they could probably be persuaded to do a reading. And, surprisingly, Legate seems to be online too.

Galadriel55 · 03-03-2013, 12:07 PM

I have finished most of the work I have for today, and aside from a family event that may or may not take place I have nothing to do. So if anyone's around?...

Aganzir · 03-03-2013, 04:26 PM

I have some stuff to do but I'm technically here. Lommy and Legate say maybe.

Galadriel55 · 03-03-2013, 05:18 PM

I'm around, and for some reason the messages I'm sending Agan via Skype don't want to be delivered, and when that happens usually they don't get delivered at all... So I'm here and hopefully will be able to communicate...

Edit: umm, never mind about being here.

I have to go do some stuff around the house, but I'll check in regularly and if anyone's still around I'll join.

Aganzir · 03-03-2013, 07:52 PM

Because I wasn't online.

Sorry, I simply had too many things to do and now it's really late.

Next time.

Galadriel55 · 03-16-2013, 08:44 AM

Anyone around today?

Galadriel55 · 03-24-2013, 11:06 AM

Are we going to do anything for Tolkien Reading Day? I'm on break, so I can do either today or tomorrow.

Galadriel55 · 03-25-2013, 08:17 AM

Anyone?...
