The Hobbit Hole XXI - ...Towards the Moon or to the Sun.
http://freeper.the-hobbit-hole.net/ ^

Posted on 04/21/2005 6:44:57 AM PDT by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

...Towards the Moon or to the Sun.

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!

Chocolate is, at this point, part of the problem, not part of the solution.

It's just the way I am... one or two days a month I get deep blue funk and I feel worthless for a day or so. I know how stupid it is but you can't just snap out of these things, can you? So I live with it.

Hmmm, for some reason they ran away and hid.

I bought what should be a nice touchy-feely graphic novel, a series that has been known to get me almost to tear up at times, so I'll probably go read that. I wasn't feeling like this when I was at the library earlier so all the library books I got are shoot-em-up hard scifi.

I need to start drinking in public or something.

I wouldn't recommend it for just anyone. But it works for me. :-)

Ehhhh, I realized today that at this point, I have a grand total of three RL friends and tonight, there's nobody around to call and say "hey, let's do thus-and-such". Rosie's at a social (which is great) and the others are out of town...

there is time lapsed between each of the seasons.

Not just that, but they often leave cliffhangers unresolved; cliffhanger at the end of the season, next season starts and it's months or years later, and no mention is made of the previous season's cliffhanger.

Because I don't know that I have ever heard of a guy that got them

I get migraines, although in my case I sometimes find it hard to tell whether it's a migraine or just a sinus headache. I do get sensitivity to light and sound, though, and one time I got a rippling corona-like effect around the edge of my field of vision.

Hmm... where're you at? Ft. Collins, right?

Try this: trolling for hippies. It's sorta like hunting, only different.

Get some birkenstocks, some tye-dye, and a sign that reads something incomprehensible about Palestine. Then make with the universal hippie warble call of "no blood for oil!" or something equally nonsensical. Wait for them to approach... and when you get a few within reach... pull out the Taser shocker. BAM.

It's even better if you get on local TV zapping one of them while yelling something about "hippies... hippies just tick me off... "

Jen, if you're looking for beautiful art, I'd recommend anything illustrated by Alex Ross, especially Marvels. Yes, it's superheroes, but told from an ordinary man's point of view. Great story, and the art is gorgeous.

Unfortunately, almost all of the graphic novels I could recommend are superhero-based... and the ones that aren't are so, uhm, avant-garde that I hesitate to recommend them. But, I'll put in another plug for Elfquest, by Wendy & Richard Pini. There are multiple volumes and editions, and I'm not sure if Barnes & Noble's carries them, but if they do the first volume is titled "Fire and Flight". It's available both in large color volumes and manga-style black and white editions. The art is lush and the story is terrific.

I asked about that. The mailbox was nearly back to the parking garage, and far more hassle.

Problem being that some of the local hippies are sort of my professors and I don't think tasering them would be good...

But what an image! I'm giggling here...
