The Hobbit Hole XXIX - Until the stars are all alight...
http://freeper.the-hobbit-hole.net/ ^

Posted on 04/20/2006 2:10:46 PM PDT by HairOfTheDog

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!

Bah! Everyone knows it takes a full thirty days to write a work of art!

I might try doing that actually if it weren't so close to my wedding.

Back from seeing Cars and a side trip to Wal-mart.

Cars comes highly recommended. Wal-mart does not.

This movie may be the best we've seen from Pixar.

And, if you go, do not, I repeat do not, leave until the credits are completely finished. Once you see the Disney castle logo again, it's save to go.

Seriously it was worth it just for the imagery of Paul Newman and Larry the Cable Guy in the same sound studio doing voices.

I've read and heard good stuff about that flick.

But I've gotten to the point that I wait for the DVD on just about everything. :-/

Oh, absolutely!

Mebbe I'll wait until I get to Washington so Ramius can share in the joy that is "taking kids to the movie theatre".

*hears him running away screaming from here*

Cool, my sister was saying all the buzz she'd heard was bad but I thought this being Pixar, how bad could it be?

Me, too!

Still, nothing says you can't just do the novel and not send it to them ...

Not yet...that's another thing to do one of these days.

Does involve going to *town*, though.

Wabbits have taken a liking to my marigolds, peppers, and okra. So far, they've left the squash and 'maters alone. And fence yer eggplants....they're the first ones to go.

Hey there, honey.

I really appreciate all you've done. (((Ramius)))

Now...will you finally put your feet up and relax, please? Tomorrow's another day.

BTW, I put in an order online for some Cuban coffee and such. It should be shipped some time this week, so keep an eye out for the box.
