The Hobbit Hole VIII - Still round the corner we may meet...

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

Still round the corner we may meet...

New verse:

Upon the hearth the fire is red,
Beneath the roof there is a bed;
But not yet weary are our feet,
Still round the corner we may meet
A sudden tree or standing stone
That none have seen but we alone.
Tree and flower and leaf and grass,
Let them pass! Let them pass!
Hill and water under sky,
Pass them by! Pass them by!

Still round the corner there may wait
A new road or a secret gate,
And though we pass them by today,
Tomorrow we may come this way
And take the hidden paths that run
Towards the Moon or to the Sun.
Apple, thorn, and nut and sloe,
Let them go! Let them go!
Sand and stone and pool and dell,
Fare you well! Fare you well!

Home is behind, the world ahead,
And there are many paths to tread
Through shadows to the edge of night,
Until the stars are all alight.
Then world behind and home ahead,
We’ll wander back to home and bed.
Mist and twilight, cloud and shade,
Away shall fade! Away shall fade!
Fire and lamp, and meat and bread,
And then to bed! And then to bed!

Is it fairly clean?

Hm...might have to track it down. Sounds intriguing.

Yeah. Actually a lot of high schools do it (not that that means anything). But it's pretty innocent. Weird, but innocent.

Rick Moranis in a musical? Now that's scary.

Well, he did manage to come back long enough to disguise himself as Val Kilmer and make a movie. . . :)

I'm still working my way through Mysterious Island.

How is it? Are you gonna see the movie?--the movie's fun! :)

Heh, Val Kilmer's cute but I understand he's a jerk. Still, "The Saint" is one of my favorite movies.

I just get headaches, looking at page after page of text. Which is why I've been reading comics. Plus, some of them have pretty good stories.

:-) We have a convert! :-)

Yes, he is a jerk on the set. But despite that he did a good acting job in The Doors and The Saint. Now Willow, on the other hand. . .

Movies are generally a major, painful disappointment if you like a book...so I don't know. Maybe.

I haven't seen it locally, though, so probably not an option anyway.

Um, I've been having bad headaches, which means my idea of a good story is something involving Martial Arts Cheerleading and gender-bending. The pretty colors in Spiderman were hurting my eyes to look at them.

If these headaches don't go away as soon the semester's over, I'm going to have to see my doctor.

Oh, come on, Willow is a guilty pleasure, if you've got the right group of geeks to watch with. A good second movie for 'Princess Bride' or 'Fifth Element' movie nights.

My favorite Steve Martin movie is The Jerk :) I also liked him in Roxanne, the modernized version of Cyrano de Bergerac.

Roxanne was sweet. I like "Planes Trains and Automobiles".

I hope your headaches clear up! I remember you mentioning you were getting them about a week ago, didn't realize you were still getting them. Have you tried Tension Tamer or Head-Aid tea?--both of those help me a lot. I used to get migraines every day for maybe 8 years until I started drinking those. Mine are partly tension-induced (esp. when I miss sleep) and partly from sinus problems. The teas help mostly with the tension part, for the sinus problems I have to do other stuff like eat hot peppers occasionally.

If you liked Mysterious Island, you might try Edgar Rice Burroughs, The Land That Time Forgot, which you can read online here if you can't find it:

I hate tea. My English ancestors are rolling in the grave.

But the sinuses... hm... that could be it.

PS: Here's another one I'd recommend if you liked Journey to the Center of the Earth:
