Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!
Until the stars are all alight
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 am Fire, and Life Incarnate! I am Phoenix!"
DaBear's gonna post one of the great comic book covers soon ... the one where Jean Grey comes back from the dead.
And, in other news ... one of the previews was for Ghost Rider ... oh, my stars and garters, I am *there*!

That sounds rather cheesy...but at least it'll be nice to look at...
In other news, the "i" key on my 'puter is dying. I'm not sure what to think about that. Guess there are always external keyboards, but...
Heh...don't guess it's a big enough excuse to get a new 'puter. Have I mentioned I want one? Grrr.

Watching "military weekend" on the Discover Channel", and one part includes a visit to the super-secret factory in an undisclosed location that makes the M134 minigun. It was so secret nobody's face could be shown.
If it wasn't for a certain shade of blue used in the plastic bins, and a poster for a certain brand of reloading press that uses the same color, I wouldn't have a clue as to where any of this was happening. The security was just that good.
Still, it must be nice nice to work for a company that has its own Huey to fly around a private chunk of desert, shredding junk cars.
Next is the "Jesse James takes Monster Garage to Iraq". Maybe we can hit him up for some support.

The first appearance of Phoenix, bursting out of Jamaica Bay after crashing the shuttle, Uncanny X-Men #101 (October 1976, click for a larger version):
Dark Phonix shakes things up, Uncanny X-Men #135 (July 1980, click for larger version):
A panel from that issue (Dark Phoenix has just kicked everyone's... tail. Again, click for larger):
As you can see, she was a lot more theatrical in the comic, ironically.
To: Bear_in_RoseBear
Her first appearance was my birth month.
I swear I had nuffin to do with it, though.
To: RosieCotton
Heh heh... nah, it was the cosmic rays... or a pesky alien interloper... or Jean finally realizing her native power... or something. I forget which.
To: Bear_in_RoseBear
Speaking of such things, I finally watched the second half of Lost for this week.
Whoa. Lotta revelation, but a lot left unsaid. Don't wanna say no more now that we've got folks catching up, but...whoa.
To: RosieCotton
You're exactly right, lots revealed, but still a lot of unknowns too. I don't know what to make of the cartoon (four-toed) colossus foot, for instance.
To: Bear_in_RoseBear
Not to mention
Desmond's girlfriend's apparent knowledge of what's going on with the island......
I'm not at all sure what to make of that.
To: RosieCotton
That was probably the biggest surprise to me!
To: Bear_in_RoseBear
Makes for a good cliff-hanger. ;-)
To: RosieCotton
Most definitely!
To: Bear_in_RoseBear
Cool. She doesn't look like the sort of person to cross, does she?

Oh no, Dark Phoenix was most definitely not a person to cross!
To: Bear_in_RoseBear; RosieCotton; All
Well, we're back, from the beach house.
Maybe, if we feel like going to ~town~, we should go see this X men III tomorrow... Might be fun, get to see the new theater anyhow.
To: HairOfTheDog
Maybe if we went in the afternoon it wouldn't be horribly crowded?
To: RosieCotton; Bear_in_RoseBear
Were there lines for it today?
To: HairOfTheDog
Were there lines for it today?Well, we saw it at the Alamo Drafthouse, which never has lines anyway. It was sold out, though. We bought the tickets for it yesterday online.
According to this thread, it's really doing well at the box office.
To: Lil'freeper; Bear_in_RoseBear
Kelsey Grammar was GREAT as The Beast. "Oh my stars and garters" was truly funny.
We enjoyed it quite a bit, and were intrigued by the end of the credits.
