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.

You'll never know if you have a gazebo now.

I'm off to Hastings as I did not make it there during the day.

And, I have to buy a birthday card for my favorite brother. I don't think he's going to get it in time. His birthday is tomorrow.

I would hope I would notice it when they dropped it off!

I forgot to stop and get The Big Chill on the way home.... I will get it tomorrow to be ready for the chat view.

Awww.... but you have been so busy on our stuff! - You have a photo quality printer then? That is neat.... Mine is not bad, but not good enough for business.

Catching up...

Oh, and news! I now have a digital video camera. Okay, actually Jr. has one less digital camera...at least for the next week.

Took him to Bible Study which is supposed to last an hour. I stayed in the parking lot because Luke was asleep in the van and it was storming pretty badly. So I read. Luke woke up after about 40 minutes and I was able to convince him that we'd just wait for Jr...only 20 more minutes.

However, Jr. had taken his camera because they wanted to film a movie. He came out 45 minutes late. I would've gone in after him except the building is HUGH and I didn't want to drag Luke out of his carseat.

This all could have been taken care of by a simple "Dad, we'd like to film a movie. Can you pick me up a little later..."

No, instead, Luke is now finishing up his snack (actually second dinner he wanted more muffins and broccoli) instead of having been asleep for the last hour.

Yes, I have an Epson 1270 photo printer. Makes prints good enough for framing. I have one hanging in my hallway, and people are always surprised when I tell them its an inkjet print.

I have had a really hard day. I am OK, nobody died, I wasn't fired, but I had to go to the doctor and get probed pretty thoroughly.

You know, sometimes I think that the medical profession could heal us without all the invasive procedures, but they do it just for kicks.

If it helps any, imagine Corin (this was 12 years ago) lying flat on a metal table in the middle of a HUGH room, buck naked (with the other...um..."part" they didn't remove covered with a metal shell...) with 2 or more technicians glaring thru the window...I have no dignity left...

Okay, maybe that's a mental image you didn't need...

My thought exactly on the movie.

As I got up and got my keys I remembered I bought a box of cards a couple of months ago. Guess what? One of them worked just fine. It will be special. The post mark will be on his birthday.

It's on my get-a-round-tuit list. If I hadn't slept so late this morning, I would have had time.

But the late-night backgammon was worth it.

Yeah, but if it was there on time he might think I thought enough to send a lot of money in it or something. This way, he will know I'm just usual.
