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! |

I guess I don't trust a medium that can't get automatic, uncensored feedback. I like to read the analysis of dozens of other people.

Mm...looks nice!
The best bookstore locally USED to be in Littleton, NH...I can't remember the correct name of it, 'cause we just called it Bob's bookstore, after the guy that ran it. It had just two floors - all the kids stuff was down in the basement. We got our Hardy Boys books there! And many other things, too, over the years.
But he retired and moved with the store to a place that's hard to find and now specializes mostly in first editions and collector's books - mostly deals over the internet, I think, rather than through a storefront.
I miss it. *snif*

Funny thing is, I actually did think (and mentioned to Steve), while watching ID for the first time..."That's the kind of president we need!" And that was the kind of president we got, just when we needed him the most. When both movies came out, the actor/director/somebody specifically called a news conference to say the POTUS character was inspired by Bill Clinton.
Still, Bill may have had a hand in the script, since the Hillary-character got killed off (but had a heroic death) in ID. That convinced me the movies were more fantasy than "Mars Attacks".

The following should be taken lightlyOh, you think I read the thing for the News!
My, you have got the wrong end of the stick.
Funnies! Flyers! Classifieds! That's what we're after...

But... I read the two slightly-amusing comic strips online... guess I miss the flyers... and I'm suspicious of classifieds anyway. "Kittens free to good home". Suuure. It's code for a drug op.

I read all our local classifieds - online, admittedly - because they're often hilarious. The local paper isn't exactly careful at catching typos or misspellings or anything else.
You can often get pure bread dogs. Cool...

I was reminded of ID when W was standing on that rubble in NYC with the loud speaker...I thought about it when he flew the plane out to the USS Lincoln, and got off the plane in that flight suit!

You'd have to call and ask, I guess! ;-)
Ooh, it was tempting a few times.
Then there was the "3 man hot tub - perfect for hunting camp".
I dunno what to think 'bout that one.

Okay. So I guess that it's an annual thing? Or more frequent?
I was taking a creatiuve Writing class recently; it was offered by the county library and it really was great!
To: The Flying Dutchman
It's every November. It's a challenge rather than a contest - just involves attempting to write a short novel (50k words) during the month of November. It's a little crazy, but fun. Jen got a bunch of us into it a few years ago, and we've done it every year since. This is the third year running. I finished the first year, but gave up at about 10k last year.
I'm gonna do it this year! I'm determined!

I just found manga "scanlations" (pages scanned in, then English translations edited onto the page) of The Series Which Must Not Be Named! I've heard the manga's really good...
