The New Hobbit Hole

[HairOfTheDog]

Just got back from my meeting. If it would warm up a little I sortof feel like weed-whacking (which isn't working either). The morning promised to be clear and sunny, but it is turning out to be a regular spring changeable day. In five minutes it could be sunny or raining. Impossible to predict!

I saw that even the die-hards were making excuses to really like it. "Well, it was a lot better than Episode I...." Poor fans.

[Overtaxed]

Well, it was a lot better than Episode I...."

Not very encouraging! I'm glad I didn't pay to see Episode I and mad that I wasted an evening watching it on TV.

[HairOfTheDog]

I waited till it was out on video too... And will for this one. I have already chosen teams... hehehehe

[Overtaxed]

I don't plan on seeing it ever!

I'll never forget a police officer found a baby, covered with mud at the base of a tree. They showed the officer's car cam showing him sitting the baby on the hood of his car and cleaning off it's face. It was muddy, but fine!

I remember seeing that footage on TLC or Discovery Channel; one of the Disaster shows. That particular tornado stayed over one area for quite a while, which is unusual behavior for a tornado. It actually scoured the earth down about 18" and did chew up foundations etc. SCARY!

I have chosen teams too...but it will be nice to have ammunition with which to pound the SW fans with the reality of how much better FOTR is. ;) And I sure won't be going to see SW ## of times, like I have LOTR!

[SuziQ]

Here is Mr. Ginsu Blades of Death again... I like him!

I just got the chance to show him to my daughter. SHe likes him a LOT; she'd never seen that one before.

Really? Never? It does have significance as a cultural institution. I will see it just so I am not completely out of it. Missing the latest Bruce Willis action flick doesn't mean much... but I think we all ought to have seen the Star Wars movies. I do it because sheep that stand out are bad for the herd!

Unfortunately the big SW fans that I know are my nieces and nephews! I can't be a good aunt if I'm trashing their movie!

[Overtaxed]

I'll probably get stuck watching it if the nieces and nephews want to.

Hello all! I'm back briefly. What a horrible trip; but I got to see Spiderman and actually enjoyed it a lot more than I'd anticipated. I'm thinking of seeing SW tomorrow with my sister, just because we like seeing movies. I see we have some differences of opinion here. What's the consensus? To see or not to see?

[Penny1]

Well, you might at least enjoy Christopher Lee... ;)

I have also heard Ewan does a good job.

What I find really amusing is when critics make excuses for the actors (and director) that because they're acting with a bluescreen all the time, it's so much harder for them.

It didn't seem to stop the FOTR cast from turning in some incredible performances, lol....

[Overtaxed]

When I want to enjoy Christopher Lee I'll watch an old Dracula movie. :)

I think you should see it. It actually had some plot development. You also get to see Yoda fight. It may not be as good as the episodes 4, 5, and 6, but still my husband and I enjoyed it.

Speaking of gardening,(and we were at one time), I think I've mentioned the bunny that grazes in out back yard? Well, the other day, I was watering the peppers and now these peppers are mulched with about 6-8" of hay. As I was watering, out jumped 3 tiny baby bunnies from under the hay!

Nice to know I won't have to drive so far to get the coneys if I have a taste for stew again! ;-)

[HairOfTheDog]

[gasp]

Now I am shocked! I am a hunter... but every pheasant that has ever taken refuge in my pasture has always been granted safe harbor! - No fair eating the residents!

[JenB]

Good job - let the rabbits eat your food, then eat the rabbits! Great plan that, but will your boys object? Our dog ate a nest of baby bunnies last year and my brothers were in tears.

[2Jedismom]

I winked!! I winked!

Actually, the bunnies aren't eating anything but grass, amazingly. They haven't figured out how tasty the garden is! The babies are living right underneath a bell pepper plant.

They also seem drawn to my sage. They may be eating it, but it doesn't seem worse for wear. It's huge! They may just like the cover.

It is kinda fun being able to look out there and see bunnies grazing in the grass...they seem to sense that no dog can get in to get them through the fence. They accept us as part of the landscape!

[HairOfTheDog]

They accept us as part of the landscape

Well then don't you dare eat them! It would be a breach of trust.

I saw you wink... but I still doubt you aren't considering it!

[Overtaxed]

Bunnies are no problem in my garden. The cats hang out there alot (must be all those catnip plants!) They do a good job keeping the squirrels out of the corn too!
