The Hobbit Hole XXVIII - Through shadows to the edge of night
http://freeper.the-hobbit-hole.net/ ^

Posted on 02/24/2006 9:52:11 AM PST by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

Through shadows to the edge of night

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 couldn't watch the Oscars if I wanted to. Not that I do. Does that mean I'm boycotting?

I don't have the energy for a cause.

Are the Oscars supposed to be tonight? I haven't paid attention since The Movies came out.

Back from the theatre. It was a sappy flick, but cute.

I think that Splash was the best possible movie one ~could~ make about mermaids.

The one we saw tried to re-do it as a "tween" film. Bah.

I'll be on the runway thread ... Joan Rivers was on Fox & Friends Friday, channeling her blue comedy routine. I want to see her do it during her show on E!

If I did guilt about my pleasures, this would be a major guilty pleasure of mine ...

I'm trying not to guilt about all the pleasures I've had today... sigh... all I wanted to do was be outside, so I did that, and now all I want to do is write. But the homework beckon-eth...

Ah, fergit it. I have until Friday to learn this stuff.

Evening, decided that grilled catfish sounded tasty so off to the Hickory Pit we went and saw an old friend and his wife there, retirement apparently suits them well.


...see the mountains and finish my book..

Oh yeah, watching Joan is WAY more entertaining than the Oscars themselves. I always like to see what monstrosities of 'fashion' some of those chicks end up wearing.

Has anyone started a runway thread yet? I haven't found one.

I can't find the thread ... heck, I can't even find Joan!

I loathe Isaac (at least he's not groping women this year), and ABC's red carpet is blah. They're only looking at the pretty dresses.

Can you imagine trying to maneuver in a train like Jennifer Aniston's?

Hi, Oscar Night Again, but there seems to be no 'Ladies Guild' thread -- the "I'm boycotting" thread seems to be the official thread.

As for best movie, what are the candidates:
1) Gay shepherds (NOT cowboys)
2)Gay anti-death penalty writer
3)Transsexual Desperate Housewife
4)Anti- Anti-Communist
5)Mr. & Mrs. Johnny Cash.

Let's all give Reese Witherspoon and Johnny Cash a hand and call it a night! It looks like one of those times I wanted to dive a plane into the Oscars and destroy Hollywood I succeeded. Let's bring back Gandalf and his 'boy-toy'!

I never thought I'd agree with that :~D

How many more years until PJ releases 'The Hobbit' anyhow?

That's what I've been asking... I'm boycotting all his movies until I hear he's working on Hobbit. ;-)

Good grief! It looks like a trash bag!

I am *highly* amused that the "boycott the Oscars" thread is now the official live thread.

Toga in black? LOL, interesting. Yeah, I agree with JenB. It's a trash bag.
