The New Hobbit Hole

[Bear_in_RoseBear]

Good morning everyone...

Really enjoyed the chat last night... it made me even more eager to get the DVD next week.

Currently on the phone talking to my technical recruiter about a possible short-term system admin job... I'm keeping my fingers crossed!

Hope everyone has a good day!

[2Jedismom]

Best wishes to you!!

Good morning everyone!!

[Overtaxed]

Good luck with the job!

Good Morning!

Good Lord 2J! - What a story! How scary!

Wow, I'm glad everyone in your home is ok. Hey, at least you'll be ready for the next TTT installment over at the Green Dragon.

[Bear_in_RoseBear]

Thank you!

Wow, what a story! I'm glad that it sounds like the guy is getting some help, though. Was the depressed guy the person ringing your doorbell?

What struck me as kinda funny was, as a health professional, we are very tight-lipped, confidentiality, you know...but I guess 911 operators aren't under such obligation and the lady just rattled on about all the problems this guy was having! Then I called my neighbor up to give her an update and she knew the guy! Recognized his motorcycle and him lying in the street. Poor guy doesn't have a prayer of keeping this hush-hush!

[2Jedismom]

Apparently (according to the 911 lady) a passing car stopped to help him. I think that is who rang the bell...not sure.

Our house is lit up. I mean Lit UP! I have four floodlights in the backyard and a light post in the front yard with a 75 watt bulb and all kinds of landscape lighting. All of this is on a timer and comes on at dusk and off at dawn. So our house is the most noticeable and easily accessible on the block. We get more people coming up and ringing the bell at night than in the daytime! I never answer the door. We just call 911.

Did you say you could download the original TT preview at the Official site?

I am blissfully happy after having such a good day yesterday! Great pictures, great chat, great movie viewing! I'm all fired up again!

I asked to have them removed. They were really too big.

Oh, so that's what happened! I thought some disruptor had invaded us and began making rude comments!

Those were great pics. Our daughter (the other Tolkien geek in the family besides me!) checks out TORN most days. She got all excited the other day about the double feature idea. She'd read it on TORN and wanted to post it here, but I told her someone had already beaten her to the punch.

[HairOfTheDog]

Yep - it's on the official site...

Download away!

I am combing my hair out and thinkin' about your story...

[Overtaxed]

I think it's just the most recently-released trailer...not the one from Feb (or was it March?).

[HairOfTheDog]

Oh - but it isn't the original preview... it is the new teaser trailer... I read you wrong!

In a lot of ways I like that original preview better... it flows really nice and I love the music...

But the one at the official site is a nice High res version, very pretty.

[2Jedismom]

Oh I like the original better too...I remember the near hysteria I suffered right before it started playing and the thrill of seeing Gandalf and Treebeard!

[2Jedismom]

Apparently Gandalf's really going to be naked.

[HairOfTheDog]

Fabulous.

Well, it is true to the book...

But I have allowed Jackson to take other liberties with the details... why not this one?

[Overtaxed]

Do we really want to go there?

[HairOfTheDog]

That said... I am sure it will be descreet.

[2Jedismom]

I'm thrilled! I know Ian Mckellen naked is a gross concept, but hopefully he'll have me so convinced he's Gandalf again it won't matter.
