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! |

I very much *need* to go fishing, though I haven't been since early summer. No excuse, either. [sigh] Something's wrong with me.

Only alcohol I have is bourbon and Bailey's...might be able to figure out something, I suppose!
But I have a major, major headache. I've been lying low for awhile, but it's not going. I still hate to get nothing written tonight, though...
I did stay through "The Last Samurai", which is one of the few Tom Cruise movies I've ever lasted all the way through. It wasn't bad, surprisingly.
Going to take some drugs and see if I can get in at least four or five hundred words tonight...

Hmmm... Bourbon and Baileys... maybe not *together*, but with a glass and some ice, either one is perfectly useful. :-)

I love that movie. The final charge almost makes me cry.
I need to do another 500 words, min. Have been off working on homework so I won't feel totally guilty.

I made a little something with Maker's Mark and lemon and sugar (well...Splenda). I dunno what the heck it is, but I like it. Someday I should learn the proper names for things, I guess...
I think I'll skip the drugs. May not need 'em...

I found a way to work in about a hundred words of Dickens earlier, which helps...

Going to take some drugs and see if I can get in at least four or five hundred words tonight... Yah know... I think I've heard Hunter S. Thompson say the very same thing...
It started something like: "We were about a hundred miles out of Barstow when the last of the ether began to take hold. My attorney was pouring beer on his chest to facilitate the tanning process. No sense telling him about the bats, I thought... he'll see them soon enough."

A good bourbon should simply be sipped gently and slowly from a large glass. Maybe some ice to let it slowly dilute. If that's too volatile for your nose, then cut it with something fizzy and lifting, like a light soda water or sprite.
Just my .02 :-)

I'm workin' my way up to that...I do have it with just soda water sometimes. ;-)
But usually it's in egg nog or something like-a that.
Oh...I forgot I had rum. Coulda done something with that instead...maybe that would have been less heretical.

Ok, only a few hundred more... I threw in a tabloid story, no need to actually advance the plot. Let's see what else I can add to pad my words.

I'm chipping away. If I can get in another two or three hundred I'll be satisfied for now.

Yay, I passed the mark. I'm trying to get ahead today. Threw in a nice argument, that makes things easier to write. I just wish I knew how to pad my story out by a few thousand words so I could start on the climax.

I'm still in a debate over whether Mr. Wright is right or wrong.
The other guy is pretty darned OK after all, though very blunt at times. He's something of an intellectual without being snobby about it, which is very attractive.

Polyandry is the solution to many crises.
Heroine has just admitted out loud that she is in love. Unfortunately she confessed to her mother, rather than Male Lead.

Not good, no?

My brothers suggested killing off both guys or shipping her off to a convent.
Um...there's gotta be an easier way...
