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!

I always hated Friends.

So in the finale did they kill the whiny Rachel and her whiney Ross?

[Lil'freeper]

Ross-n-Rachel

*sniff*

It was so beautiful.

[RosieCotton]

Why, what happen?

I've seen maybe two episodes of that show, accidentally, more or less. Didn't like it, and didn't get why most of the characters were supposed to be appealing.

Guess I'm not "with" the current culture or sumpin.

[RosieCotton]

What's on the music schedule this week? Is it the Middle Earth club you were mentioning the other day?

Naw, the usual Friday jam.

[Lil'freeper]

So in the finale did they kill the whiny Rachel and her whiney Ross?

That would be a Seinfeld-esque ending! (I kinda like it, actually.) No, the only thing that died was the game table.

You never saw a fly in a mask?

[Corin Stormhands]

Not anymore.

Friday, and pretty weather, and I have OFF! I'm doing graduation crap, and then going to see "Van Helsing" with a friend. It looks spectacularly bad, but Hugh Jackman is really cute.

[Fedora]

Naw, the usual Friday jam.

That sounds good :)

[Overtaxed]

Oh great. Now every station will start running it in syndication.

[Fedora]

They're like horse sunglasses! :)

[JenB]

How many seasons of Kenshin are there BTW?

Three seasons. By watching for, oh, more or less six hours yesterday, I finished off Season Two - Legend of Kyoto. The first 2/3s of that season (which was really, utterly spectacular) are with you. The climax - four hours of straight hard battle - I got yesterday.

The "Well, I'm back" moment was more of a "I'm back, that I am" moment. Same thing, right?

RK has really long seasons - about 32 episodes rather than the usual 24-26. So that almost makes up for the fact that there's only three.

[HairOfTheDog]

ACK! - watching a few scenes replyed now.... "I got off the plane!" I tell ya... I can't stand those characters!

[Corin Stormhands]

Last night was the finale. There's been a lot of media hype this week with the "surprise" ending, etc. I can understand that from NBC.

But why does Glenn Beck have to spend time on it? That's all I'm sayin'.

Shhhh...Pippin is singin'...

[RosieCotton]

Whatsit about?

I still haven't seen a Hugh Jackman movie. Have to do that one of these days.

Just to check if he's as cute as Gerard Butler, ya know. Research and all that.

[RosieCotton]

What was the big surprise, anyway?

[JenB]

My family watched that show - I hated it with a passion, so last night it was a good thing I had something I wanted to watch. Locked myself in my room, didn't come out.

So nobody got eaten or burned alive or killed horribly? What a waste. Definitely not going to catch the reruns. And, um, what was the surprise? Didn't it come out just the way it was supposed to?

[JenB]

A vampire slayer.

You haven't seen Hugh Jackman in anything? Whoa... X-Men, X-Men2 he's got a great role. Um, Kate and Leopold. He was in Swordfish but that was irredeemably bad.

He's really quite cute. In a dark sort of way. That's what I like...

[Fedora]

You never saw a fly in a mask?

Actually. . .

[Corin Stormhands]

They drug out the Ross/Rachel thing to the end.

The big "surprise" was that the birth mother of the baby Monica and Chandler were adopting had twins. Of course, Beck does have a point - didn't they do a sonogram?

I haven't watched Frasier in years either. But I'll watch the finale.
