Nice save!

I've had some awkward job interviews, but nothing like this. Amazingly, she got the job, at least according to the anonymous and self-described "fictional hiring partner" writing the blog.

Whether the tale be truth or fiction, this deponent knoweth not. But it's a good story.

So, totally unrelated to your post...I noticed the "Hill of Himring" on the map in my edition of the Silmarillion. What's the story behind it?

It took you that long to notice?

Click on the word "surmised" in the "Who is Felix?" sidebar.

Well, I haven't opened the Silmarillion in years. I'm going to give it another try, after getting bogged down in the creation story.

Ah, the Ainulindale!

For what it's worth, I deliberately chose a relatively obscure placename for my inspiration. There are probably dozens if not hundreds of "Shires" and "Loriens" out there.
