The Hobbit Hole XXV - Fare you well! Fare you well!
http://freeper.the-hobbit-hole.net/ ^

Posted on 10/15/2005 7:13:08 AM PDT by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

Fare you well! Fare you well!

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!

Er, that would be before the show even started!

My favorite episodes were 'the one where' the story is told as Scully's recollection. The baddies were foul-mouthed, but through the lens of her memory, the dialogue was cleaned up to hilarious effect. It's where I picked up the habit of saying "blankety-blank" when I really want to curse. ie "That blankety-blank! Did you see what he just did? He just blankety-blankin' blankety blanked it all up! I'm so blankety-blanked mad." yaaaay Scully!

My other favorite was 'the one where' Mulder and Scully are investigating mysterious deaths amongst a circus' sideshow employees.

"*urrrp* Maybe it was something I ate...."

Well maybe it was the second time he went off the deep end. I kept saying "Put that thing away! You might shoot your eye out." :)

Heh...I say the double viewpoint one years ago, but I've all but forgotten it - they showed it first from hers and then again from his viewpoint, as I recall.

The baddies were foul-mouthed, but through the lens of her memory, the dialogue was cleaned up to hilarious effect.

Pretty sure that was "Jose Chung's 'From Outer Space'" (season 3). Charles Nelson Reilly plays writer Jose Chung, who interviews Scully, Mulder, and various other people for his book about abductions, titled "From Outer Space". Lots of good bits in that one, including governor-to-be Jesse Ventura playing a Man in Black.

Mulder and Scully are investigating mysterious deaths amongst a circus' sideshow employees.

Season 2 episode "Humbug". Written by the same guy (Darin Morgan) who wrote "Jose Chung...", by the way.

I am such a geek...

Back from my walkabout in the Shire. It's a bit muggy and the wind is blowing....feels like rain. There's a lot of leaves that need raking around these parts. If I wait long enough maybe all of mine will blow into the neighbors' yards.

Breezy here, too, but nice and crisp. Feels kinda nice, but the wind is being scary again.

They're saying gusts may be up to 47 mph this afternoon. Yay.

I went out to Barnes and Noble for awhile for caffeine and to write for a bit. And we're doing a write-in later today.

It's muggy and 60'ish here. I've got the windows open. We could use the rain so I hope we get it later on today.

I want to get at least 5000 words today. I've almost got 2000 and I'm getting to the point where I kill Hair off. Think I'll have ecurbh call the cops.

All of this could have been avoided by not shopping at pawnshops. :)

I'm thinking about checking out pawnshops for a cheap used MP3 player...

Pawnshops...that's the other thing I dunno how to work in. Maybe the deposed princess has been reduced to running a pawn shop.

Don't go near one that's sitting beside a prominently displayed toaster.

I'm just sayin'.

Well if she's deposed maybe she has to hock her tiara for spending money.

Heh...possibly. Does mention of such a thing count? She's not my main character, so I couldn't tell the whole story of how she went to do that...but it could work as just part of a conversation. "Because of your beastly family, I - PRINCESS WHATEVERMYNAME IS - had to go into a PAWNSHOP and hock my tiara!!"
