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! |

I'm going to the volunteer job for a bit, then I'll do something really exciting...like laundry.
Tonight is Jen's anime night, so I *could* have a wild party here while she's out. Somehow I don't think that's gonna happen, though.

It's sunny. I'm cheerful for little reason. Today is my long day, with lots of running about, headless chicken fashion.

Today is also the earliest I could hear back on the job I interviewed for on Tuesday, but I really don't want to, strangely enough. Reason being that I have an actual PC support interview tomorrow, and I'd rather wait until I have a feel for how that went before having to make a decision if I *am* offered the admin assistant job.
*sigh*

Mmmm...headless chicken...
Ya know, speaking of headless chicken, whole chickens are cheap and easy to roast or do in a crockpot. I oughta do that one of these days. Have with gravy and a nice vegetable or two on the side.

But by way of edumacatin': BBS stands for "bulletin board system". It's what forums like FR did in the days before the web. Each user had to dial in on a modem directly to the BBS server machine. BBS servers could handle maybe 2 to 8 to 24 to 48 or whatever simultaneous connections, depending on how much they wanted to spend. People could post messages and others would reply... and so on and so on...
It is interesting that as much as things change the basics of what works in human communication does not change that much. A posting forum like this is more or less a BBS, from the human communication format side it is the same.
To: RosieCotton
Cross that bridge when you come to it. If you do get the call, it's probably OK to wait a day to accept, pending the other interview.

From my memory, it seemed nearly everyone behaved really badly on BBS's. It might be because I was young and behaving badly, but I wasn't the only one... it's like the whole country was a teenager, experimenting with the idea of anonymity, and testing the boundaries of not having to behave.
Kids still go through that faze... teenagers still troll until they learn there is better fun to be had by being social, rather than antisocial, but I think in the early days, everyone was learning that at once.

There is no way my baby crockpot would fit a whole chicken. Well maybe if I ground it into small bits... nah, I will stick with chicken breasts and veggies in there. I have done almost as much cooking in the last two weeks as in the preceding 2 years. Sure is nice to be saving money again.
To: TalonDJ
I don't know that my real-sized crock pot would fit a whole chicken either - but the oven would... roast chicken...
Ooops, I really have to get to class...
