The Hobbit Hole XVIII - Though we pass them by today...
The Freeper Hobbit Hole ^

Posted on 12/20/2004 9:01:36 AM PST by ecurbh

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

Though we pass them by today...

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 enjoyed Reign of Fire. What part did he play in that one?

He was kind of Christian Bale's right hand man.

He got killed. :-(

It's actually where I first discovered him. Kind of a minor role, but I instantly thought "WHO is THAT???"

Maybe I'm not as innocent as I'd like to be...

I heard an ad for it today. Did you see the movie The Day After Tomorrow? The girl, Emmy Rossum, who played the 'love interest' of the main character is playing Christine in Phantom. I didn't realize she was a singer. The producer, Joel Schumacher, said that they were just about to sign someone for the role, when he met Emmy at a party. They were chatting and he asked her if she sang, and she mentioned having sung at the Metropolitan Opera in various parts since she was a little girl! He told her to come for an audition, and they hired her. I saw a clip of the movie, and her voice is awesome!!

I'm not a hugh fan of Chardonnay, but I have tried one that I like. It's from Columbia Crest, a winery up in WA, I believe.

Yep, IIRC, that's where we had our Board meeting when the national association I worked for met in Seattle. One of the sponsors paid for a private concert by Gary Morris. He'd just come from playing Jean Val jean.

I don't care much for most Virginia wines, but the Governor's Reserve Chardonnay from Williamsburg Winery isn't bad.

Best Chardonnay I ever had tho was in Monterey. Don't remember the restaurant or what we had (it's been 15 years). But we had the "Edna Valley Chardonnay" from a winery in San Luis Obispo. Had it again at the Brodmoor in Colorado Springs a couple of years later.

I've not seen it for sale tho.

Oh yeah! I saw a preview of the scene where they sing "Masquerade", one of my favorites. It is just gorgeous!

Isn't he playing The Phantom in the movie version of Phantom of the Opera?

Yes. Local reviewer said Butler got the role for his looks, not his voice. But then again this was the reviewer that didn't like LOTR.

I'm pretty sure Phantom opened today. We'll probaly see it, althought it's not one of our favorite stage shows.

Never seen that version. I've watched the 1925 Lon Chaney and parts of the 1943 Claude Rains versions.
