Eleventh Thread: Wedding Edition: The Hobbit Hole XI - No One Admitted Except on Wedding Business!
New verse:

Upon the hearth the fire is red, |
Still round the corner there may wait |
Home is behind, the world ahead, |
Cool.
congratualtions to Steve for coming so far. I am sure the light at the end of the tunnel is getting brighter and brighter.
Seems like it to me too, sis...just forever...one or two classes at a time.
Matthew is that way in the evening...suddenly gets a burst of energy. I was that way too, for many years...which is why I was a 3-11 nurse!
A brass band in the room wouldn't wake Joshua...no kidding...I've gone in to find Matthew belting out some tune with a CD he's listening to at the top of his lungs and Josh is sound asleep.
I did not know that about boiled eggs!
Yes, boild eggs do that. I found out yesterday at lunchtime :-)
Oh um......nevermind.....
I redownloaded FMA #50 last night. The one I had was a smaller file so the picture was real fuzzy and the subtitles were hard to read. So I got the SS version.
I'm having trouble finding Madlax 26 so if you see it in your travels please send me a link.
I'm downloading Monster and Soukyuu No Fafner as new series to start watching.
I just drove home.
I notice that nobody much in this neighborhood has bothered to take down their hurricane shutters. Everyone is kind of laying low, it seems.
Ever figure out what kind of spider that monster was?
I think that if you bore a small hole in the eggs before boiling them, they may not explode?
Have you let your kids see it yet? The cliffhanger's still evil...
Did Madlax 26 come after the licensing announcement? That's probably why. What's Monster about?
I think I'm going to teach my friends about anime with some help from Fruits Basket...
I watched a couple more episodes of FMA last night. I'm up to (I think) 47.
How they're going to finish the story with just a couple more episodes, I can't imagine!
Yeah, Madlax 26 was after the licensing announcement, which ought to be against Anime etiquette. But that doesn't stop some people......
Monster is about a Dr in Germany who saves a child's life and then mysterious murders start happening. From what I understand it is not for family viewing. I already told the kids they weren't watching it. I haven't seen any of the episodes I've downloaded yet though.
I haven't seen any Fruits Baskets yet.
Well, based on Ep 50 I can think of a couple truly evil ways they could end the story.
Or, they can fall back on the classics: "It was all just a dream", "An asteroid wipes out civilization" or "The fairy godmother makes things better".
Just wait until you see #50.
Oh, JenB, I did let the kids watch #50 and they said afterwards that they should have listened to me and waited. But hey, at least now I don't have to suffer alone. ;^)
My wife actually said she wouldn't mind watching the raw version just to see what happens next.
(4 days til #51!)
Or a la Scrapped princess - "This isn't the real world...it's a simulated world, which is why alchemy works."
Or something like that.
Fruits Basket is licensed so you'd have to buy/rent it, but it's worth it. The whole 26 ep series comes on four dvds, so it's cheaper than a lot of anime. It's beautiful and mostly ok for kids... depending on the kid. There are some - ok, there are a couple characters who get over the top and a little crossdressing, but it's such a lovely show.
(Download Full Moon wo Sagashite. Unlicensed. Nice for the whole family. Catchy tunes.)
Go sit in Took's corner for that.
Actually... episode 50 explains why alchemy works..
2J figured it was a Garden Orb Spider. Big, but basically harmless (and actually beneficial).
I'm torn about the raw. I'd like to make sure that you know who isn't you know what. But I'll miss so much...
