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.

Now that they're in Germany she has sent me lots of German chocolate. But, I don't care too much for it compared to our plain old dark chocolate.

Oooh! Me, me, me! I miss German chocolate...

Speaking of which, though, some of you may remember me complaining that I couldn't get Ritter Sport bars here - their alpine milk chocolate flavor is my favorite "plain chocolate". But I found yesterday that the Shaw's grocery store about forty minutes away now carries 'em! Practically did a little dance in the grocery store. ;-)

By the way - I just feel like I have to brag - it's official now. I have lost 30 pounds and 2 sizes since March.

Hooray for Jen! Congratulations!

However, it seems quite unHobbit-like to lose weight.....oh, wait, yer an elf....carry on.

By the way - I'm usually good with spelling - is it "interregnum" or "interegnum"? Anyone know? I want to use it for a title.

Just in case nobody answered yet, it's "interregnum."

And don't worry, I'm a good speeler.

Unlike most everybody else here the last movie I went out to see was some movie with elves and hobbits and dwarves. LOL

Me too...so far as I can remember. The only other movie I kinda wanted to see was The Matrix Reloaded, and I think I've made up my mind to wait until that's out on DVD.

GOOD MORNING!

I'm at work. At least I have this little bit of work. It's a beautiful day here. That bright face is in the sky and it's looking at me.

But I am making shrimp scampi for lunch tomorrow. Who wants to come over for some?

Uh, yes, I would like shrimp. (better than steak actually) And I'm sure Hair will be there too! I think she and I missed our supper at The Green Parrot yesterday so we need an outing. Lunch with you would be nice.

I used to drive purt near that far when I lived in the country. 'Course, I just went when I got off work or out of church and it wasn't a long drive by itself then.

But the problems in the schools have been caused by PARENTS, not teachers, not school boards, not the government.

Bull $#*t.

Well, I kinda wanted to see X-Men but the window for seeing it at the drive-in seems to have passed. So, I will probably wait.

Some luck. The file is too long for the program I have and it mixes all the parts together into 1 part. Maybe I should look for another abc program that will handle multiple parts.

What're you supposed to do with those?

I ain't in the mood for those kind of leading questions...

That aside...Hullo! Good morning!

Have I mentioned lately how much I hate my job?

I have a meeting with the trolls in 10 minutes. One of the head trolls just called and said "we need this and this and this and this and this for the meeting....and this..."

I wanted to tell him IF YOU'D GET OFF MY FREAKIN' PHONE I'D HAVE TIME TO GET THIS AND THIS AND THIS AND THIS....
