The Hobbit Hole XXIV - Sand and Stone and Pool and Dell...
Please see our Hobbit Hole Troop Support project blog! ^

Posted on 08/24/2005 9:50:25 PM PDT by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

Sand and Stone and Pool and Dell...

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!

It's more of a Moot flick.

Just put it on and let folks comment as they walk in and out of the room.

Except that it's kinda PG-13 for...ahem. But I suppose if it wasn't during the day or if no one minded.

I'd at least come in to watch Jack drown all blue-lipped and stuff.

Dean Martin sings that when he's playing pool with Frank Sinatra in Robin and the Seven Hoods.

Ah yes. The "portrait" scene is a bit risque.

We could go straight to Disk 2 then. IIRC, that is all the sinking part.

I liked the "Night to Remember" version better.

Course it's still about three and a half years long...

I wanna see that at some point, if only because it's more about the disaster itself.

Bet the special effects are...special.

I like the commentary track...done by an historian and an art guy (I believe)

Watching "Titanic" is against my religion. Gotta be. I'll find it in the Book of Church Order somewhere, I'm sure.

I think I like the sappy 1950's version (with Barbara Stanwyck) better than the "Jaaaaack" version.

Speaking of books - my Mom alerted me to a good author: Michael McGarrity. He is native to NM and his mystery stories are set there. He writes some of the best "local color" I've come across.

Cool! I will keep an eye out for him at the library next time.

The annual library sale is taking place at the mall this weekend. I want to check it out but bah! I have school right now.

Hey suzi...you know how I really like my Anchor Hocking MicroWare? That brown stuff, you know? Heavy plastic?

I have a pan with a divided lid called a Versatility Pan that is just the best thing ever! I just now warmed up my leftover spaghetti in it and It just does great! It's so heavy that the dish gets warm but not horribly hot.

I really like the stuff...constantly looking for it in the thrift stores!

You know, I think I used to have some of that cookware. I have no idea if I still have it somewhere. I might have taken it to MY local thrift store. ;o)
