The New Hobbit Hole

[Overtaxed]

Yep! Major good feeling. Now all I have to do is wait for the dirt to thaw. Suppose I could clean up the lab a little.

Steve has a pen like that! When he went to work for the city, he just got a job at the absolute entry level. He had a degree in agriculture and got a job weeding the roses in one of the Tulsa parks! Naturally, it didn't take him long to move out of that job, and within about 8 months he got a new position and it was a huge leap in pay and responiblity. The guys that he pulled weeds with all got together and got him this pen!

Apparently Jerry Seinfeld has one and Steve just loves Seinfeld and it was a great gift to get him.

Good morning everyone! Hope y'all have a good day!

I bought a cool pen

My Rose does the same thing... we can't go into an office supply store without her checking out the pen section and picking something up.

So I should just make sure his head doesn't fall on me?

That, and make sure you're not named Boromir.

I think I killed the thread...

I was getting ready to post my one-hour g'nad Threadkiller post when I saw your post...I'll take the hit for this one...

I'm sorry you're feelin' down, Rosie...here...

dwarves don't do roses...hope you like...

I've got a Cross pen with a kitty on it.

[g'nad]

That, and make sure you're not named Boromir.

and if you are, make sure you are wearing your arrow-proof vest...

Hey Bear!...

I'm sorry you're feelin' down, Rosie...here...

Awww...thanks, g'nad!

Lucky I didn't pick up the lab coat with a "Boromir" name badge. :)

Orcses on the thread! Anyone else think that orc looks like Pippin? - during that scene, he comes up to Pippin and the frame moves from him, to Pippin, and back to Pippin-Orc. He is definately the cutest orc in the film...

Jerry Seinfeld does have a pen like that, but he shouldn't have taken it.

Hullo! - Good Morning!

I'll have to get some pictures of my cats up if I get a website going. My dog, too...she's very photogenic! (Like your cat!)

Can you record something of you playing your fiddle? Like I did, blowing into the mic of computer?

[Overtaxed]

I wuv wimmen wif fiddles...

My sister just got a new fid...er...violin. She calls it "Squirrelly'.

He is definately the cutest orc in the film...

Soooo...how often do you lay awake at night thinking of cute orcses?...sometimes you worry me Hair...

I worked on Divx and the trailers for a couple of hours last nite...messing with settings etc...Finally got the media player working to the point I saw movement, but choppy, and the soundtrack wouldn't sync to the video...the divx viewer was better, but I just couldn't get audio...I saved the trailer to my hard drive, and that didn't help...what can I say...I'm a computer moron...

it looks pretty cool though...I can't wait till Nov/Dec...

[RosieCotton]

Can you record something of you playing your fiddle?

Sure, but I'm not sure what I could do with it after I recorded it? I've actually made MP3s of our playing as a group before, too. But they are pretty big...couple of MBs.

I'm pretty bad at fiddle - I've only been playing since April. It's tuned the same as mandolin so I'm probably farther along than most would be at four months, but still pretty bad...

You have a recording of you playing whistle? I'd like to hear it!

[g'nad]

Can you record something of you playing your fiddle? Like I did,

you know, I still can't get your music to play on my computer...grumble grumble...

My sister just got a new fid...er...violin. She calls it "Squirrelly'.

There's some sort of joke about squirrels that I'm not catching, right?

She just got it this weekend, didn't she? Speaking of names, though, that's one thing I'm not sure tin whistles usually get. A lot of our other instruments have names, though...my sister's violin is Ole Bull (that's stamped in the back - he was a famous Norwegian violinist), my guitar is Darcy (easy to guess who HE'S named after), and my Mom's cello is (or was, anyway) Ettore, after Ettore Bastianini, a baritone she loved.

My fiddle has yet to show it's name, so it' remains just "my fiddle".

Yes, I have some recordings, but most are old and from when I was just learning. My most recent one is the Swallowtail jig...here:
