Ruby, if there's something he wants, can he get it himself?
4:19 am
Brookie

If anyone comes over here, I'll say, "There's some stale cereal in the pantry. Go get it yourself."
4:19 am

4:20 am
lynxxx

Rubys husband is a bit older than her and had heart issues late last year....oh yes...and is somewhat demanding

Herin, if you looked in my kitchen, you'd be appalled.
4:23 am
herinfernallady

:( Lynxx stole my idea
4:24 am
Brookie

Nada, nada, nada. But no exaggeration on the chocolate. There's an insane amount here.

for example all the epic disaster books of the 60,s alway have some rugged guy always lighting 2 cigarettes at a time,one for him and one for the heroine
5:58 am

and of course if a character is not white,it is pointed out again and again
5:59 am
crosshair

especially U.S authors of the time
5:59 am

oh yes. I think these things are important to keep
5:59 am

6:00 am

a friend was doing a play in the west end a few years back, adn it was a period piece, and none of the actors were allowed to smoke even though the characters all smoked madly. it was very silly

beer bottles are important to keep? I could have a backyard beach if I melted the glass down
6:01 am

if you have to read it or act it,be true to the original
6:01 am

unless it is harmfull to your health
6:02 am

or do something completely different, like modern versions of Shakespeare. Don't just gloss over bits

thanks BabbleRabble, all the best to you too
6:13 am
Atalante

I loved about half of it
6:13 am
sprite

JBV, what captured you about the book?
6:15 am
JBV

so much, sprite - each character was developed so you felt you knew each person - the physical descriptions of setting, even the battlefield scenes, you felt as if you were there
6:16 am
sprite

never read it and am wondering if I should. Definitely worth giving it a try, if I see your reactions :)
6:16 am
crosshair

well he did go into agonizing detail
6:16 am
JBV

there were two scenes in particular that were very moving - the death of Prince Andrei, very moving, as he lingers and finally expires, I felt as if I could feel his every breath
6:16 am
Atalante

he wrote beautifully. Utterly beautifully. If rather over-long-ly at times!
6:17 am
sprite

crossy, like Umberto Eco?
6:17 am
crosshair

it must be read in quiet times with no distractions
6:17 am
sprite

I can skim-read if necessary :)
6:17 am
JBV

and one funny one - the description of the birth of a baby from the father's perspective - the mother of course is undergoing agony, but the father is slowly going crazy and frantic with worry - reminded me of the scene in I Love Lucy where Fred and Ethel and RIcky leave for the hospital without Lucy
6:17 am
Atalante

no, umberto eco is detail-less compared to tolstoy!
6:18 am
JBV

yes I agree, crossy, I read it during the summer - when I had long peaceful stretches of time to immerse myself in the 19th century
6:18 am
sprite

ok then it is bad. But still worth a try.
6:18 am

lol yes I remember that scene.

I was impressed when I saw that in the movie they changed the opening scene with the deduction of the lost horse into the deduction of where the loo was. Very consistent with the behavioural approach.

6:29 am

nothing happened exactly. he had his gall bladder out in november and they saw a spot on his kidney during a scan, and they did lots more scans later but couldn't tell what it was so they decided to just take it out (it was only 1.4 cm) and see.
6:43 am

they come back pretty fast results on that sort of thing
6:43 am

they were able to do it laproscopically, which they also did with the gall bladder.

4:37 pm
Vicuna

he5/24 - prefix for 6 + beginning of math process using plus
4:38 pm
Vicuna

he6/39 - a refreshing summer beverage made of 6? (or same as he5 with a vowel on the end)
4:39 pm
Vicuna

or made of a witch's curse, perhaps...
4:41 pm
Riverdance

you are awesome vicuna - thanks

4:47 pm
Atalante

drawing Laurelin and Telperion. the usual!
4:48 pm
Vicuna

lol Cool.
4:48 pm
Atalante

trying to decide whether squirrels lived in the Two Trees. Important question!!
4:49 pm
Vicuna

Hmmm... I'd have to think carefully about that one.
4:50 pm
Atalante

we're having a big debate about it at the moment. Were the Two Trees pristine and holy? Or did they have birds adn squirrels adn caterpillars and and and!
4:52 pm
Vicuna

Right. They certainly get described as pure and holy... but also as life-giving, which is hard to picture without, well, life...
4:52 pm
Atalante

exactly .... *is perturbed*
4:52 pm
Atalante

I hate being able to perfectly justify both sides of an argument!
4:53 pm
Vicuna

But I'm thinking I'd say they had butterflies, pretty birds, stuff like that, but not squirrels, ugly bugs, etc. In other words, life, but only fancy life! lol
4:54 pm
Atalante

*grins* that's being elitist!!
4:54 pm
Vicuna

Yep. you think Tolkein wasn't?
4:54 pm
Atalante

or pretty-ist, or something
4:55 pm
Atalante

and he loved nature, I can't see him liking a tree without life in it. But he was also Catholic, and the Trees were very much a vision of purity and idealism
4:55 pm
Riverdance

any help on the sy?
4:55 pm
Atalante

sorry, mom! I totally hijacked Vi's attention
4:56 pm
Vicuna

How many letters, Momneeds?
4:56 pm

4:56 pm
Vicuna

Ah, thanks, Ata.
4:57 pm
Riverdance

thats OK Atalante - it is fun to chat too
4:57 pm
Vicuna

Keep those requests coming, Momneeds. At this point they're the only way I'm going to get my remaining words!
4:57 pm
Atalante

makes a change from the normal sysop
4:57 pm
Riverdance

Im just getting so close to the end I cant wait......
4:59 pm
Riverdance

I'll help you too - still working on that one
4:59 pm
Vicuna

Besides, the pretty-ist solution would make for pretty art.
5:00 pm
Vicuna

Even if some of the other critters would be more fun to do.
5:00 pm
Atalante

lol yes. and I'm sure I'll go along those lines. It's just a really really interesting question to consider. I really don't know the right answer, if there even is a right answer
5:00 pm
Atalante

I'm sure some little green caterpillars will appear. and butterflies
5:01 pm
Vicuna

Well, by "right answer" you have to decide whether you're trying to fathom what Tolkein imagined, or trying to come up with your own sort of "theology" of what it should have been like.
5:02 pm
Mudd

I am so dragging here.
5:02 pm
Atalante

I always like to at least think that Tolkien wouldn't be horrified by anything I drew of his world ...
5:03 pm
Atalante

I usually try and at least start with his concepts and his drawings if I want a reference
5:03 pm
Vicuna

As a writer, I always applaud people who try to refrain from desecrating an author's vision! It drives me bonkers when movies claim to be based on a book and then have nothing to do with it but the names.
5:04 pm
Atalante

I think I have such respect and love for Tolkien's vision that I always want to create something he would love. It's always the best praise when someone comes along ans says "you know, I really think Tolkien would have loved that"
5:05 pm
Vicuna

Absolutely.
5:06 pm
Atalante

and he was much more broad-minded than one might think about fan art. He loved some of the really surreal 1970s Cor Blok art (look him up, weird and wonderful!). But whatever style, I think it's only right to do something the author would approve of. It's their world we're all playing in
5:06 pm
Riverdance

5:07 pm

Hi, min I am fine after a day in the big city looking at the exhibits in some art galleries. I could be an artist, I at least could do as well as some the work we saw today.
6:53 pm
Kaplan the Magne

What big city are you in?
6:54 pm
stidgmere

We went to Seattle.
6:54 pm
Kaplan the Magne

The question about the art is not COULD you do as well, but WOULD you. Audacity- or creativity- counts for much.
6:54 pm
Kaplan the Magne

Where are you usually?
6:55 pm
stidgmere

Well, they were pretty audacious to put some of the work in a gallery since I have seen children who have better ideas and better techniques.

stidgmere, if ever you visit the Nat'l Gallery of Art Washington, may i suggest you stick to the West building mostly? Aside from the Matisse cut-outs and the Calder mobile in the lobby, i'm guessing most of the East building would not appeal to you.
6:58 pm

Hello dcseain!How are you doing?Welcome to the grid
6:59 pm
dcseain

hello, munver, kaplan, stidgmere, et al.
6:59 pm
dcseain

6:59 pm
stidgmere

Well, I don't mind seeing good recent art. The Bourbourg in Paris is a favorite museum (even when it is spelled right.)
7:00 pm
dcseain

ah, in which case, i would still suggest the Hirshorn over the East Build of NGA generally
7:01 pm
stidgmere

I have been looking at maps of the Mall lately and noticed the Hirshorn--a round building, I think. Does it spiral up on the inside?
7:03 pm
dcseain

if memory serves, no
7:03 pm
dcseain

i recall discreet floors
7:03 pm
dcseain

looping from elevator around
7:04 pm
stidgmere

Well, I think the Museum inNYC has the spiral form--Wright's architecture.
7:04 pm
dcseain

there are sculptures around the inside of the O on each floor, and galleries around the outside.
7:04 pm
dcseain

yes, that is corroct, stidge, that one is a spiral
7:05 pm
dcseain

the sculpture gardens at both NGA and the Hirshhorn are lovely
7:05 pm
dcseain

i miss living on Capitol Hill and being able to walk down to the Mall

We learned about that in School, JMC, but none of it of course seems at all real as I grew up really post civil rights...
7:51 pm
jmcnrick

I know -- I can always shock my staff by talking about pre-integration
7:51 pm
dcseain

The HS i attended was old enough to have different sets of bathroom facilities, gymnasiums, and locker rooms.

7:52 pm
dcseain

not labelled by then, but the teachers and parents made sure we understood why they were there and like that.
