New verse:

Upon the hearth the fire is red, Beneath the roof there is a bed; But not yet weary are our feet, Still round the corner we may meet A sudden tree or standing stone That none have seen but we alone. Tree and flower and leaf and grass, Let them pass! Let them pass! Hill and water under sky, Pass them by! Pass them by!

Still round the corner there may wait A new road or a secret gate, And though we pass them by today, Tomorrow we may come this way And take the hidden paths that run Towards the Moon or to the Sun. Apple, thorn, and nut and sloe, Let them go! Let them go! Sand and stone and pool and dell, Fare you well! Fare you well!

Home is behind, the world ahead, And there are many paths to tread Through shadows to the edge of night, Until the stars are all alight. Then world behind and home ahead, We’ll wander back to home and bed. Mist and twilight, cloud and shade, Away shall fade! Away shall fade! Fire and lamp, and meat and bread, And then to bed! And then to bed!

Now I've got "Angel Band" (the closing song in the movie) running through my head...

[JenB]

I've decided to practice some writing... haven't really done any fiction in a while and I don't want to be rusty come November.

[Bear_in_RoseBear]

That's a good idea! I've felt like doing something creative all day long, but I successfully squelched it... and now it's too close to bedtime.

[JenB]

Well, I'm kind of prepared for my midterm... the code is too frustrating... and I don't want to start a novel at this time of night, so it's write or watch anime (which I may do in a moment anyway).

[Bear_in_RoseBear]

Doing a little channel surfing here... came across the end of The Matrix: Reloaded. Groovin' to the closing theme music...

[JenB]

Cool...

I now get one channel. But all it ever gets is Seinfeld reruns. Oh well.

Hah... wrote the equivalent of a NaNoWriMo day. I've still got it.

[Bear_in_RoseBear]

Phenomenal!

I feel like reading something comfortable and familiar... not sure what though.

[JenB]

I like Heinlein for comfortable and familiar, personally. Some of his short stories suit the bill on a quiet night.

[Bear_in_RoseBear]

Zelazny works for me, of course... or maybe some graphic novel.

By the way, the third "Amber Pre-History" by Betancourt came out. I liked it!

[JenB]

Oh, yeah, I read that at the bookstore. Not bad. Not Zelazny, but not bad.

Agree about the graphic novels. If I just want something easy and familiar, I grab one of my manga... I've been rereading "Fruits Basket" because I've been in a sweet-funny-story kinda mood.

[Bear_in_RoseBear]

Hmm... the Dr. Solar origin story, "Alpha and Omega", is kind of fun and dark....

Spam race?

[JenB]

Hmm... I was gonna watch Trigun, but yeah...

[JenB]

I like spam...
