The Hobbit Hole XVII - A new road or a secret gate...
See our freeper.the-hobbit-hole.net home page! ^

Posted on 11/03/2004 6:16:42 PM PST by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

A new road or a secret gate...

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!

Cool...did you see the SW:EpIII preview rumored to be in the package? Good? Not good?

Of course, I'll have to see it if only for closure on this 27-year arc...

Add to my list: Game night with cousin, friends and kids after the Express

My theater doesn't often have as many previews as the bigger theaters...the only preview I really remember was for Cars - not SW.

But then...I'm sooo not interested in Epi. III. I'm still very, very ticked at what has become of the SW flicks. I loved the first ones - who of my / our generation didn't? But when I saw Episode I in the theater, I practically walked out crying. ;-)

...guess I'm in a minority here...

I liked Jarjar...
I thought one of the coolest things was the Senate...
...and the ET's in the Senate...
Hayden needed help, but didn't blow the whole thing...
...and lightsaber fights just keep getting better.

I's no LotR, but fr me, it's a must-see.

I'll not ask you to come with me :)

and later, Polar Express in 3D IMAX

There's a hugh furniture store over in Natick that has an IMAX 3D theater and it's showing Polar Express right now! I'd love to see it. It's one of my favorite Christmas stories. The kids and I went to see "Harry Potter and the Prison of Azkabhan" there. It was awesome seeing it on the really big screen.

The kids and I saw a preview for SW III on Tech TV the other day. It looked pretty good! Yeah, I'll see Ep. III, just to close the loop.

If I didn't see such a big disconnect between the originals and this series, I think I would find them entertaining - though not in the same way as I liked the first.

But the change really bothers me.

However, me likee Ewan McGregor, I admit...

I'll tell you MY first reaction coming out of Ep One : "maybe Ewoks aren't so bad." THAT's how bad it was for me.

Ewan McGregor : YUMMY. Hayden : scowling into the camera at different angles does NOT constitute acting. Natalie : Leia would kick your butt down in two second flat. Get some goombas, woman!

Army Recruiter School - and what a brain-buster that was!

Test took three hours, and we won't get the results back until this afternoon. I hate waiting.....

Now, is this part of that Writer of the Month thing I've heard about? Or am I way off track?

It almost sounds like an assignment, or a course.

Hair; you know, somethings are best learned when relatively young, recuperation time is shorter.

Shamus, long time FRiend, drop in more often, great pics of Amber and niece and the pup. You're brave, sir, adopting a young un and a puppy at the same time, either would be a handful.
