Thanks for the HTML tips! I knew about being able to add other image properties, but only height and src...what does border do? Guess I could play with it and find out...

And the Paint tip for finding hex values is helpful, too.

Testing!

There's "Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers" video game that's only available on PS2 - available 10.24.02

There's also "Fellowship of the Ring" available now (methinks) on x-box, and PC.

www.gamefaqs.com can tell you more.

I've never written much of anything... I've done lots of planning and thinking, but when it comes to actually putting words on paper (or rather, into the computer) I lose all of my enthusiasm (sigh).

I do a lot of starting, but no finishing. Most stuff doesn't make it onto paper anyway, but when I HAVE started to put it into words, I usually end up getting really discouraged at how little it resembles what was in my head. Seems like it's always better (or seems better) before I try to capture it.

I should probably do something of an outline. I HAVE done some synopses for chapters (similar to your outline, I think - brief descriptions of what happens in that chapter), but I have the beginning and the end with no connection as of yet!

And the characters keep changing as I think more about 'em. Hopefully they STOP that by the time I start writing, or this is going to be really confusing!

I don't know if I have enough or not. I guess I'll just have to try and see...if I can even finish the story, it'll be more than I've ever done. So far I don't even have many conversations to write, though, which worries me! Mostly it's people's thoughts...

Good Morning!

I've got a bunch of "what happens in general". Now I have to get concrete actions to go with the generals.

Morning everyone!

Sad to see that the sniper is still roaming about, making his presence known. I keep praying that he will slip up and hang around the crime scene to survey his "work" and get busted. *sigh*

Breakfast is simple this morning: fried eggs and bacon, some buttered toast and fresh orange juice. ENJOY!

I have to get some work done and I know by the time I get back the Precious will be gone!

OK fellows, here you go...

Fresh, flaky buttermilk biscuits and two platters of bacon.

I brought out some mushrooms too, if you like. ;)

If you can roll out the cask from out back and help me tap it, we can get the pints going early!

Those barrels are FAR too heavy for a hobbit lass like me!

Thank you! A bacon and egg biscuit just hits the spot. Now where's the coffee? :)

I'll help roll out the barrel (where's that Gondorian polka meister?)...but perhaps I should stick with coffee for a while...

It's just that with snipers and broken fingers and orcs at work and family and....well, pints sound like a good idea...

Whatever you do, don't put the keg in the baby carriage.
