Six hobbits a-laying?

[eldritchhobbit]

Happy birthday to carpdeus! May you have a wonderful day and a fantastic year to come.


Borrowed from wellinghall:

On the twelfth day of Christmas, eldritchhobbit sent to me...

Twelve inklings drumming

Eleven hercules piping

Ten hogwarts a-leaping

Nine x-files dancing

Eight iolaus a-milking

Seven byers a-swimming

Six hobbits a-laying

Five me-e-e-ediaeval baebes

Four tori amos

Three fairy tales

Two jim byrnes

...and a bpal in a dangerous beauty.

Just FYI, two of my past articles are now available (by permission) online at my website as PDF documents:

1. "Harry Potter Is A Hobbit: Rowling, Tolkien, and The Question of Readership" from CSL: The Bulletin of the New York C.S. Lewis Society, (May/June 2004)

2. "The Sword in the Starship: Arthuriana in the Four Incarnations of Star Trek," from Winedark Sea, (March 2000)

Edit: These are most easily accessed using Internet Explorer.

Six hobbits a-laying

That's hillarious!

Four tori amos

And that's *impossible* to say...

[eldritchhobbit.livejournal.com]

LOL! Good point.

Thanks for releasing the articles. I'm looking forward to reading the Trek one. I really like the Potter = Hobbit idea, too.

Happy Holidays, you hoopy frood!

[eldritchhobbit.livejournal.com]

Thanks so much - I'm so glad you're interested! :)

May you always know where your towel is this holiday!

Thank you....

Not only birthday wishes but presents too!

Though the links aren't working correctly. I think you linked directly to the files on your site but they are misnamed. The first one needs to be .pdf and the second one doesn't have a pdf... I downloaded them and renamed them and they seem to work fine.

So, thanks again for these two lovely presents!

You're most welcome! Thanks for being interested.

Thanks also for the heads up re: the links. The way the files come up (without the .pdf) is how I renamed them when I uploaded them to the site (since the upload field won't accept anything with a "." in it). Now when I click on the links, I get a white page, and then a secondary PDF window pops up with the document, just perfectly. I'm not quite sure why that didn't work for you, or what's going on. *scratches head*

PS. I'm not terribly bright about this kind of stuff!

Could be my browser.

I like the Arthurian/Trek one. Did you know Diane Duane has an LJ acct?

Re: Thank you....

[eldritchhobbit.livejournal.com]

Aha! I just tested it, and you're right: it only works correctly with Internet Explorer. *headdesk* Sorry!

I didn't know about Diane Duane. Wow! I need to look up her LJ. Thanks! I'm so glad you liked the article.

dduane is her blog. And petermorwood, her husband.

Enjoy!

Awesome! Many thanks. :)

Thanks for the hint on using IE! I'm a big fan of ST, particularly DS9, and a pretty big fan of Arthurian stuff, too, so I am a happy camper. Or should I say, trekker? ;-) Looking forward to reading the article muchly!

(And thanks for the Christmas card!)

[eldritchhobbit.livejournal.com]

You're most welcome, on both counts! :) I'm a big ST fan myself, and I love DS9. Unfortunately, this piece was written before ENT came on the air, but I think it fits the pattern, as well. At any rate, I hope you enjoy it! Thanks for being interested.
