‘Well, aren’t we happy this morning?’
Dom does not even bother to lift his head and acknowledge this comment. Instead, he puts all his attention into his breakfast. To be perfectly honest, he doesn’t even like toast – he’s never seen the point in spending all that time with the toaster, just to end up eating something that’s cold by the time you’ve finished plastering it with butter anyway. And today, it tastes especially bland and boring. It’s going down in painful lumps and settling uneasily on his already painful stomach. Funny, he thinks, strange eating habits we have.
He’s daydreaming again, but he’s vaguely aware that Billy has said something. He really should answer his friend (seeing as he was kind enough to give him a room for a couple of months) but, well, he can’t be arsed. Despite him normally being quite a ‘morning person’, Dom finds this one to be too much of an effort. Maybe it’s because he couldn’t sleep last night. Or maybe it’s because he’s aware that he really should be doing something constructive during his stay here. Or maybe it’s because he currently feels quite shitty and thinks that he would much prefer to burrow back under his duvet in his own room than to sit in the kitchen at the small breakfast table, his bare feet freezing against the tiled floor.
He likes the room Billy has given him. He seems to remember that at one point it was called the Guest Room, but it’s now His room, quite simply because he visits Billy’s house so frequently. It’s orange. Not shockingly so, so that when you enter the room you shield your eyes from the hideous colouring: no, it’s rustic, with old furniture and a terracotta coloured duvet. It screams Autumn to Dom, and he likes that just fine.
Billy’s room is along the hallway, on the other side of the bathroom, and he has the view to the front of the house. ‘I like to see what’s going on in the world,’ he had said when Dom had questioned why he had chosen that room: it’s smaller than Dom’s, with less floor space and no room for that same mahogany furniture that can be found in Dom’s room. But Billy doesn’t seem to mind this.
Billy’s room is green: green curtains, green carpet, green throw on the bed. And the wardrobe and bedside cabinets are all of a sturdy pinewood. Spring it says to Dom. Fresh and enthusiastic, just like Billy.
‘Do you fancy going anywhere today?’ he asks Dom, and this time, Dom does look up. He brushes the crumbs off his old t-shirt (which qualifies as sleeping wear) and licks the butter off his fingers. ‘I was thinking that we could take a trip into Glasgow today if you wanted,’ Billy continues, nodding his head in the direction of his keys that are always located on a hook in the kitchen. ‘I could drive you there, save phoning for a taxi.’
Dom hates to refuse, knowing just how badly Billy has been wanting to show him his new car. ‘It’s great,’ Billy had enthused upon Dom seeing it for the first time - the paintwork immaculate, back seats rubbish-free. ‘Handles brilliantly, and pretty cheap to run. Good for nipping into the city when I need to.’
Billy lives on the very edge of Glasgow, in a small, very quiet area where you have to shout at the top of your voice in order to attract your neighbours’ attention. It’s ‘country like’ and cosy, and very peaceful but still close enough to society to be practically located. Dom would be lying if he said that he liked this house: he loves it.
He shakes his head. ‘Would you mind if we just stayed here today?’ he asks. ‘Or you can go out if you like, I’ll stay.’ A slight flicker of disappointment in Billy’s eyes is seen and Dom nearly gives in. But no, he feels terrible; he isn’t up to walking around all day.
‘Alright,’ says Billy, bright of face once again and Dom begins to wonder whether he had imagined the chagrin that had appeared and then disappeared just as quickly from Billy’s features. He sits down next to Dom at the table with a good dose of caffeine in the form of a mug of coffee clutched in his hands. ‘Well, what would you like to do?’ He’s trying so hard here, and Dom suddenly wishes that he felt alright and well enough to do what Billy wanted.
Instead, ‘Go back to bed?’ he suggests, smiling slightly, knowing just how ungrateful and lazy he must seem. At the puzzled look on Billy’s face, he continues, albeit reluctantly - he hates to admit weakness. ‘I feel awful, Bill,’ he says tiredly, ‘and I don’t know why.’
‘Drink?’ Billy asks, a grin on his face and Dom cannot help but return the gesture.
‘No,’ he sighs, standing up and yawning dramatically, the way he does every morning. He doesn’t stretch the way he would normally though, knowing that the irritating stitch in his stomach still hasn’t dissipated. ‘Don’t know what it is but I could really do without it.’
He pats Billy on the back in thanks, scratches absently at his hair and slopes off back to his room.
‘Let me know if you need anything!’ he hears Billy yell after him.
‘Thanks, mate,’ he calls back and shuts the door to his room.
-----
He doesn’t know how long he has been asleep but when he awakes, the sun seems high in the sky – it’s peeking through his closed curtains and shining in his eyes as he opens them slowly. It’s dark in his room so Dom is unable to see just how exactly his legs have managed to get tangled up in his covers – he wriggles his feet slightly and moans in frustration when he discovers that this action doesn’t help him in the slightest.
He still feels exhausted and debates getting comfortable again when he realises what it was that had woken him in the first place. He feels really crappy now – a lot worse than earlier – and he’s suddenly aware of the awful cramping in his stomach.
‘Shit,’ he mumbles as he notices his increasing nausea and hastily sits up to detangle himself from the covers. He manages it, eventually - but not without a little difficulty - and then he’s climbing out of bed, opening his door and hastily yet dazedly walking in the direction of the bathroom.
By the time he reaches his destination, he realises that this isn’t just the average cold. He feels like death, and is pretty sure he looks like it too. He only just manages to lift the toilet seat in time before he is vomiting into the basin. What a wretched position to be in. All he needs now is for Billy to see him like this –
‘Dom?’ Bugger, spoke too soon. ‘Dom? You alright

Tolkien Convention in Brussels, and Unpublished Letters - Tehanu @ 16:03 PST
The official site of Tolkien Fifty Years, the great event which will occur in Brussels between the 22th and the 28th of march, is online, both in English and in Italian, here (click on the "english version" line above at right to read it in english).
You can find there useful information about the program of the convention and how to join the party or have news about many affiliated events occurring in every part of the world (and how to affiliate your event to the T50Y).
Among the important guests attending the celebration, there will be the Tolkien experts Edward McMurr (Person in charge for Europe of the Tolkien Society UK), Paolo Paron (President of the Italian Tolkien Society), Oronzo Cilli (Person in charge of Tolkien's Fifty Years), Jimmy Chavez (Peruvian Tolkien Society), Mathias Daval, Christopher Garbowski, Gianfranco De Turris, Adolfo Morganti Brian Rosebury, Marco Respinti, Mike Foster, Stefano Giuliano and authorities such as On. Roberto Bigliardo (Coordinator of the Economic and Monetary Commission of the European Parliament) , Dr.ssa Pialuisa Bianco (Director of the Brussels Italian Cultural Institute).
During the week, we'll have several concerts and a stage work, inspired by Tolkien's books and various exhibitions (you can find the full program here.
The T50Y has already obtained the sponsorship of the Italian office of the European Parliament, the Presidency of the Italian Council of Ministers, the Embassy of New Zealand in Italy, the Italian Ministry of Communication, the Italian Cultural Institute in Brussels, Regione Lazio, the International Film Festival of Flanders/Gand, the New Zealand Post. Partners of the event are RAI SAT, the publisher Bompiani, Caltanet Cinema, Games Workshop and Red Carpet Tours.
The Tolkien 50 Years has been covered extensively not only by the italian press and television, with several reports by the most important local channels and newspapers, but also by the international magazines and websites.
Moreover, the Tolkien Fifty Years promoter, Oronzo Cilli, received many grateful letters by important institutions and people. For example, the english Prime Minister, Mr Tony Blair, thanked Cilli for his work in an official letter.
Even more important, considering the subject of the convention, the letter sent by Priscilla Tolkien, where she announces she have to refuse to participate personally to the event due to her age. Anyway, she writes to "congratulate you personally for undertaking such a responsible position as the organizer of such a large scale international event in the European Parliament building" and announces that she wrote a statement for the speciale volume reporting on the event where she wishes Mr. Cilli and his colleagues all success.
Last but absolutely not least, Tolkien fans will be excited to know that a publication of unpublished Tolkien letters is upcoming.
In fact, on the occasion of TFY's presentation on January 19, Marco Respinti and Oronzo Cilli, in the presence of Elisabetta Sgarbi (Editorial Director of Bompiani), spoke of the possibility of a revision of the Italian edition of Tolkien's letters, gathered by his son Christopher and his official biographer, Humprey Carpenter. Bompiani decided to publish a new edition, revised and enlarged, and the Italian Tolkien Society is in contant with an english publisher to have an international version of the book. The volume will be introduced by an essay of Priscilla Tolkien and it will boast contributions by Tolkien experts as Mike Foster, Christopher Garbowski, Brian Rosebury, Andrew McMurry, Paolo Paron, Gianfranco de Turris, Adolfo Morganti, Marco Respinti, Oronzo Cilli, Stefano Giuliano, Jimmy Chavez, Jeroen Van Den Berg, David Beatene and many others. In fact Cilli has managed to obtain from the British Public Record Office the rights to the publication of some documents regarding Tolkien's experience in the First World War. The new edition might include these new documents (never published before in any book) and a short essay on Tolkien and the war.

Ringer Fans Seen on UK Promo Ad - Xoanon @ 13:59 PST
greendragon writes:
Hi Xoanon - Happy New Year! Don't know if this is something of interest for TORn at all, but I just wanted to let you know that there's an ad on tv here in the UK for RotK, and believe it or not, I'm in it! Yes, a TORnsib in a RotK ad! Basically, the Odeon cinema chain here in Britain often film reactions of folks coming out from seeing a film, and then tie it to a trailer for a tv ad. They were filming outside the first showing of RotK in London's Leicester Square, and a wee snippet of me is used in the final ad!
I just say, 'Amazing!' - that's it! I'm on screen for about a second, whilst the standard RotK trailer (the one which includes Pippin and the palantir) plays in the background. Don't know if any of the other folks in it are TORnsibs - suppose they could be! Anyway, I just thought it was fun - we TORnsibs get all over the place, don't we?!

Harp of Gondor at the Embassy - Tehanu @ 16:59 PST
Early harps specialist Asni harps for the Rings marathon at the Embassy on Wednesday
Where: Wellington, Embassy Theatre
When: Wednesday 17 Dec, from 3 pm
Little did German-born harpist Asni imagine, when she first went to see "Fellowship of the Rings" two years ago, that the movie would spin her life out of orbit and have her end up on the other side of the globe –eye to eye with cast and crew and right smack in the middle of the celebrations that surround the release of "Return of the King" in the film’s native Wellington.
An internationally recognized specialist on Medieval and baroque harps, Asni is currently teaching at Victoria University Wellington, as well as getting herself involved in Wellington’s vibrant cultural life in various other ways. Besides being a musician, Asni is also an accomplished painter and has some background working for tv and the film industry.
So overwhelmed was she by the accomplishments of the first "Lord of the Rings" film that she decided it was time to make some radical changes in her life, and that New Zealand was the place to go: "If they can pull off something like that, it can’t be a bad place to be for someone like me!"
Chance, or fate assisted her: On an internet movie fan forum she made friends with a former Victoria University music graduate, who put her in touch with the university’s music department. Eight months and many, many emails later she boarded the plane to embark on a three month tour of the country – giving recitals and holding workshops at universities throughout the country, and visiting some of the filming locations on the way. It was a case of love at first sight: and when she was eventually offered the small teaching position at Victoria, she accepted more than gratefully. So far, she has had no reason to regret that decision: the NZ government’s current focus on building up the creative sector has not only enabled her to obtain one of the coveted talent visa, tailored particularly to freelancing artists – Wellington also opens up many opportunities to broaden her creative spectrum, something she’s found extremely hard to do in her native Europe.
A fan of Tolkien’s imaginary universe since her early teens, Asni claims that her choice of instrument has got a lot to do with reading Lord of the Rings: the harp is probably the one musical instrument that is played most often by characters in Tolkien’s books. But when Asni came to her first harp lesson, she was disappointed to see the big and rather clumsy modern instrument. Only when she discovered the smaller and lighter harps that were used in the Middle Ages and baroque period did she feel she had found what she had been looking for.
Asni will be providing live music between films in the foyer of the Embassy theatre at the Lord of the Rings marathon on Wednesday (17 December). She has already performed at the "Return of the Ringers" party at Skyline restaurant and at the Medieval Fair in Chaffers park on premiere weekend.
To her, these performances are a personal thanksgiving: arriving too late to get a chance to be involved in the movie’s actual production –

Stars react to Oscar nominations
Last updated 27 January 2004
'Return of the King' and 'Master and Commander' are the two biggest films in the Oscar nominations, announced today (Tuesday) with 11 and 10 nominations respectively.
See the full nominations here...
Billy Boyd is in both movies, and we caught up with him earlier to see how excited he is:
"It's great! I've been to a few of the award ceremonies and there was a great buzz about both of the films so it's very exciting."
And as for celebrations:
"I've just arrived back in Glasgow so I'm hoping to catch up with some friends - I haven't called anyone yet, I'm feeling slightly jetlagged so I am… I might celebrate by having a good sleep. We'll see how it goes!"
'Cold Mountain' was expected to do well but missed out in a lot of the big categories. It received seven nominations including Best Actor for Jude Law. He is up against Sean Penn, Bill Murray, Ben Kingsley and Johnny Depp.
He has been nominated once before for 'The Talented Mr Ripley' and he told us why he loves Oscar night:
"It's a really weird time of year, I mean the fact that it's called 'awards season' is kind of bizarre. When you're making the film you're thinking about making the film as well as you can not about winning awards. From a selfish point of view, it's a good night - it's a night to along to and feel apart of the film community which you don't often get to do."
The Oscar ceremony takes place on Sunday February 29.
