The Hobbit Hole XXXIV - But better than rain or rippling streams...
Posted on 08/07/2007 7:52:15 AM PDT by HairOfTheDog
Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!
Sing hey! for the bath at close of day
That washes the weary mud away!
A loon is he that will not sing:
O! Water Hot is anoble thing!
O! Sweet is the sound of falling rain.
and the brook that leaps from hill to plain;
but better than rain or rippling streams
is Water Hot that smokes and steams.
O! Water cold we may pour at need
down a thirsty throat and be glad indeed;
but better is Beer, if drink we lack,
and Water Hot poured down the back.
O! Water is fair that leaps on high
in a fountain white beneath the sky;
but never did fountain sound so sweet
as splashing Hot Water with my feet!

Can you tell us what is under the house tap tap tapping the last three nights?
It’s bigger than a mouse!
Gidget is obsessing on one of the heater vents in the kitchen.

And now have I not told you that what you mistake for madness is but over-acuteness of the senses? now, I say, there came to my ears a low, dull, quick sound, such as a watch makes when enveloped in cotton. I knew that sound well too. It was the beating of the old man's heart. It increased my fury as the beating of a drum stimulates the soldier into courage...
To: Corin Stormhands
That is not the thing to read when you are delusional. I mean sick. Whatever.
Ungh.
I’m gonna crawl back into bed as soon as I send an email in to work.

Are you saying there is a watch in my vent... or a drummer?
To: HairOfTheDog
Alas, it is the sound that you hear...

Werk is gettin’ in the way of muh nanoresearch...
To: Corin Stormhands
Nano research! I knew there was something I was suppose to be doing while sitting here staring at this computer.
I should take some lunch home to my sick in bed wife but I don’t want to call and wake her up to ask what she would like.
Tofu burgers it is then!

I just sent off for info for our Japan trip. We kept waiting for a friend of ours to get some stuff to us and he finally had to back out because of work. So it will be just us and in the middle of October if we can still set it up in time.
if not I am sure we can find a gunshow to blow all that money at.

I’m stepping back from the Nano for a couple of days. Got everything I have plot-wise so far loaded into my new software and I need to let it simmer.... and see if I can get some inspiration for plugging plot holes.

Today we were reading about rice plantations and how Reconstruction and a series of hurricanes in the 1890s pretty much destroyed that industry in South Carolina.

I still don’t have a plot. But I do have a husband bringing lunch to me.

Yeah. My MC is writing his book from the porch of the family mansion. The land is rented out to farmers. Would have been a HUGH mistake if I’d had them growing rice.
To: JenB
You could write a murder mystery about a husband who tried to kill his wife with tofu burgers...
To: Corin Stormhands
He’s bringing me a quesadilla. And no tofu. We got that one straightened out :)
