"in realms apart from the visible world"

I am off to Providence shortly. Happy birthday to primroseburrows: I can't wait to see you soon! I will have limited internet access while I'm away, but I'm not quite certain how much, so I want to go ahead and wish eowynmaiar, sally_maria, magicwondershow, and groovekittie truly fantastic birthdays and wonderful years to come, as well!

As my parting shot, please enjoy some YouTube and Jonathan Coulton goodness:

"I have dwelt ever in realms apart from the visible world; spending my youth and adolescence in ancient and little-known books, and in roaming the fields and groves of the region near my ancestral home. I do not think that what I read in these books or saw in these fields and groves was exactly what other boys read and saw there; but of this I must say little, since detailed speech would but confirm those cruel slanders upon my intellect which I sometimes overhear from the whispers of the stealthy attendants around me."
