The Hobbit Hole III - Journey to the Cross-roads!

Posted on 12/17/2002 7:32:02 AM PST by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

Journey to the Cross-roads

The Two Towers Edition

Come on! Come in! -if you would like to have some seedcakes and a pint and relax a while. (If it is a special occasion, we still have a few bottles of the old wineyards left!)

Our first thread ( New Zealander builds Hobbit hole ) reached 4,100 posts, and we thought that was big. Our second thread (The New Hobbit Hole ) held us for over 48,000 posts, and we loved it dearly. We talked about moving to a new thread for the last 38,000 posts, but we are really slow to muster! Finally, the time has come. Tomorrow (at 12:01 am, to be precise!) The Two Towers comes out, and we start a new chapter.

Heh, went and looked at the clip... didn't realize when it changed to the game footage, my first thought was "Gee, Gandalf got awfully spry all of a sudden!"

I know! I love that show!

It's great bumping into Hole Dwellers on the other side too. It's a nice surprise, sort of like running into an old friend at the supermarket. :)

We're leaving our condo 'candlewax' because it'll be rented out, but the new house...oh wow: dining room will be deep red, living room will be dark sage, kitchen will be a paler sage, family room will be a Laurie color: Angelique, a peachier version of our candlewax. The study is up in the air 'cuz it's Big'ol's room...but he picked out green carpet. ;) We love color!

(Second floor isn't planned yet but considering how long it'll take to build the house, I have plenty of time.)

I like TS, but I love the Brit version "Changing Rooms". One of their designers is so deliciously flamboyant: Lawrence Llewellan-Bower. I adore him and most of the others. Besides the Brits are so cute with their accents. The handyman, Handy Andy, is toooooo adorable.

Handy Andy:

Lawrence:

He has many waistcoats like that with frilly shirts. One jacket was a floral chintz....that happened to match the linens in one of the rooms he designed....

Speaking of deliciously flamboyent, I watched a repeat of Ian McKellan's SNL guest host appearance the other night. Geesh! Sir Ian had to make at least 5 references to his "open gayness".

By the 2nd gay comment, I was saying "OK, OK - I get it! You're gay! Flaming! Twitterpated! Flitty! ENOUGH!"

LOL! I love his style, but he gets a bit tiring with the constant reminders.

I liked Tom Cruise when his butt was being run into the wall in Days of Thunder

That was the first movie I ever saw him in. I liked it. I thought I liked him. And then I saw that stupid one where him and Nicole are in Ireland and come here and it was garbage and I decided I didn't like him anymore.

Hehehehe...I didn't really watch all of Days of Thunder, just the racing scenes. They filmed some of it at the Daytona 500.

He threw one of those reminders in the cast commentary on FOTR. I could have done without it.

I just liked him in Days of Thunder. But, he wussed out - I wouldn't have blown a motor in fear! Give me one of them things - let me out there.

Honestly, I can't remember any of his other movies - except that Ireland one, and I can't remember the name of it.

Another movie that made me like an actor that I don't normally like is Gone In 60 Seconds. I don't like Nic Cage. But I liked him in that.

Are you seeing a trend here?

I'm home and loading the pictures...we saw a tarantula on the road on the way home and stopped and got out to look at it. Some kids in a house nearby ran out with a bucket and caught it, and we got to stand and look at it for a while.

I checked out that fishing spot on the way home too...

Yep, some of those scenes were real. They did a special on the filming of it that showed during racing season that year. Like during a rain out or something. I hadn't heard of the movie (because I normally just didn't go to movies) but, I made it a point to see that one. The story was stupid. And he was in a crash and got freaked out and blew his engine next time out because he got scared. I think the part that I liked the best was that Robert Duvall was in it. I like Robert Duvall a lot. A lot better than Tom Cruise.

Of course notice that Robert Duvall was also in Gone in 60 Seconds. He has good taste in flicks to be in.

I like tarantulas. I like to keep them for pets. They are extremely cool and feel really neat if they don't bite.

Also, sometimes they are able to keep undesireables out of your office.
