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!

I have a LOTR question.... I was watching the special features again and I thought I heard the director say the filming of all three movies took 16 months.

Did he misspeak? Was it 16 months for LOTR, and then different times for the other two movies?

Nope, all three movies were filmed simultaneously/back-to-back, in one big production.

LoTR - “Lord of the Rings” is all three movies.

Not to be confused with the first book... “Fellowship of the Ring”.

So yes, they filmed all three at the same time initially, before the release of FoTR. They did some reshoots and additional scenes “pickups” for each of the other two in between the movies, but the primary filming was already done. Make sense?

Yes it does. It just seems like 16 months wouldn’t be long
enough for such a long trilogy.

DaBear and I use OneNote, from the Microsoft Office suite.

See a demo of it here I like the way it lets me pop open related sections and pages and subpages. So when I'm doing a timeline, I can see the tabs, move 'em around, and edit them at will.

Aww, now... I'm not a big Microsoft fan at all, but OneNote is something they really did a good job on. Rose posted a link to an online demo in the message above mine...

I love fairs, especially the animals. The trouble is, I usually came home with a rabbit or a guinea pig!! The late Mrs. LCS was particularly fond of them. :(
I tried to convince her to buy some Banty chickens, but it was no sale!

It can look like this:

You can also have sub-tabs. As you can see across the top, you can have folders subordinate to the main folder, as well as ections. You can set it so that when you copy something from the Web, it pastes a citation link when you paste the stuff from your clipboard. It lets you keep audio recordings, and make good screen clippings --- this jpeg is a OneNote screen clipping of a OneNote page.

They make great watch birds. Legend says squawking geese saved the early Roman Republic by tipping off the guards that German raiders were attacking the city! They can be very aggressive though.

Their aggressiveness is the only reason I think they might survive Gidget. ;~)

So if we have Microsoft Office 2003 (werk with me here), we don’t have OneNote, do we?

Short answer: no, you don't have OneNote. However, you can certainly get it, and, if NotValerie is still a teacher, you should be able to get it easily and relatively cheaply.

If she's not a teacher ... well ... there's always eBay ...
