The Country Pundit's Place in Middle Earth

I've actually got substantive content for today, but I'm clearing a backlog of quiz results that piled up over the weekend. Here's today's:

To which race of Middle Earth do you belong?

Bother. I'd prefer to be one of the folks hanging out in Lothlorien amid Liz Fraser vocals, softly filtered camera lenses lit by eerie amounts of white light, lots of snotty people with bows and arrows, and a barefoot Cate Blanchett.1 Of course, having a fanboy's attraction to Lothlorien means that I've got like zero scenes of interest in the last two Lord of the Rings movies. They're just not as cool as the first one, for whatever reason. Of course, if the rumors of the return of the ringwraiths are true, then that'll be cool.

Anyways, this test comes, one or two steps removed, courtesy of Julie Neidlinger, and she gets the tip of the Wisconsin hat.

1 Be still, my beating heart. True story: I was in the theater watching FOTR with an early-in-the-release-date crowd, and of course there were the obligatory fanboys, who made noise throughout the flick like "That's not the Balrog!!!!" and who probably had a heart attack when Liv Tyler (Look, in twenty years she'll look like daddy. Talk about coyote ugly!) came onscreen. Luckily for me, they shut up (for whatever reason) when Miss Blanchett drifted onto the screen, and let me sit there, watching in rapt attention watching Galadriel do the whole "witch of the woods" thing. Call it the Reeves-Skywalker Response: "Whoah. She's beautiful." Celeborn, you lucky devil.
