Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!
A new road or a secret gate...
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! |

Yup, I was impressed with that, too! The kids actually respected their father, the wife didn't think he was a moron...
And you're right, the quantity, not the quality, of words is what counts in NaNo!

And the mom was actually a stay-at-home mother, wasn't she? I'm amazed...kinda shocked, even.

Yes, she was... and they had more than 1.8 children, the parents were involved in their kids' lives. The dad tried to keep a job he hated for their sake. (Did you recognize Evil Boss's voice? I did...)
Heh. No wonder Pixar's leaving Disney, this just doesn't fit Disney's little worldview.

Oh, and one other positive thing: the various family members didn't always get along perfectly, but they actually enjoyed one anothers' company and hung out together as a family without it being something shameful or "Aw, do we HAFTA?!?"
And no series attitude problems.

Yes, and that one was a bit of a suprise, probably because I watched Toy Story before "Princess Bride", and the voices aren't quite identical. And the dinosaur never says "inconcievable".
Gah, am in another tricky part. I've got long scenes that write themselves, and then little bridges that take so much work. However, my soundtrack is helping (none of it's in English so I can't get distracted by the lyrics. I've got to send you a couple of these songs, by the way.)

I miss the castle... No, seriesly, I miss the shoooooes...(not that I don't miss the castle too).
I wore them all year round. Meant I didn't have to have on "real" shoes in case the dog had to go out. Flip flops don't work, cause I need to wear socks in the winter.
But not to fret. I've got a bid in on a pair on eBay that'll be cheaper than sending the one shoooooooess here. Specially since the shoooes are kinda still dressed fer the beach...
