Okay, a nerd entertainment moment with the Heir.  He had a couple of people getting bummed out for no particularly good reason, and he thought about the emotional shift of the population in the months after Sandy, and it got him to thinking about passages from Tolkien's the Silmarillion (though it can never replace the Artifactorial no matter how hard it tries).  So he got to thinking about the eucatastrophe that allows middle earth to make Morgoth really pay for it, in the form of the Earendil chapter.  On YouTube he found the audio passages accordingly: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a4IZnzpkDWQ&feature=youtube_gdata_player, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LUjv7dNSacM&feature=youtube_gdata_player, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fDv4DIsV-bU&feature=youtube_gdata_player, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PZVBOaIMA8I&feature=youtube_gdata_player.  Someone also posted a simulated trailer if someone made the Silmarillion into a movie: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RT9UcZPT2DU&feature=youtube_gdata_player.  Guy said that maybe this will get Peter Jackson to make the movie, and then someone said, forget Peter Jackson, *you* must make this movie!
