"You will unite or you will fall."
Today in Middle-earth — January 17, T.A. 3019 The Fellowship resumes travel through Lórien blindfolded until word comes from the Lord and Lady that they may all walk free. In the City of the Trees, Caras Galadhon, they come into the presence of Galadriel and Celeborn. "Your Quest stands upon the edge of a knife,'" says the Lady of Lórien. "'Stray but a little and it will fail, to the ruin of all." Middle-Earth Hang-Hobbit--For every letter you get wrong, the Rider will hang a hobbit! Namárië! |
Today in Middle-earth — January 15, T.A. 3019 The Fellowship reaches the Chamber of Records in Moria and discovers Balin's tomb. They fight a successful battle with orcs and the great cave troll, eventually reaching the Bridge of Khazad-dûm. Gandalf challenges the Balrog, yet both fall from the Bridge and slide into the abyss. The stunned Company is rallied by Aragorn and flees through the Great Gates into the sunlight of Dimrill Dale. They journey on to reach the Nimrodel late at night. Greetings! I decided to move the updates here because I'm not sure anyone was finding and reading them. >_< This is not as private as being on a seperate page, but we'll see how it goes.

1-11-05I think I'm getting the hang of this!" I've been playing with Adobe Photoshop 7.0 for hours and I can't believe the graphics I made. I saved the style, so I think I'm going to redo every single title graphic so they all look like that. I finally got the look I could see in my mind's eye. I can't always do that, I'm graphically challenged when it comes to understanding these complex graphic programs. I finally made something I first envisioned in my head, with just a slight alteration of the original color. *happy sigh* Doesn't take much to make me happy. Nope. "And if I die today I'll be the HAPPY Phantom And I'll go chasin' the nuns out in the yard And I'll run naked through the streets without my mask on And I will never need umbrellas in the rain I'll wake up in strawberry fields every day And the atrocities of school I can forgive The HAPPY phantom has no right to bitch" Hige sceal þe heardra, heorte þe cenre, mod sceal þe mare þe ure maegen lytlað. Will shall be the sterner, heart the bolder, spirit the greater as our strength lessens.
1-9-05--"Look for my coming at first light on the fifth day. At dawn, look to the east." Another Sunday night. I've been watching the films faithfully and I've made some observations. It seems as if the elves are like guardian angels or something. They are ethreal, elegant, and show up when all seems lost. When Galadriel helps Frodo up in ROTK after his encounter with Shelob, I wonder if she then saw Shelob capture him and thought "Oh no! It's okay, Sam is coming!" or some such. I also noticed in TTT when Gandalf and Aragorn are going into the stable to get Shadowfax to find Eomer and the Rohirram, Gandalf says "They flee to the mountains when they should stand and fight!" Then Gandalf's mouth doesn't move when he's saying "Who will defend them if not their king?" I also noticed some continuity glitches, but you'll have that I guess when you're filming 3 films at once and must meet a deadline. Don't get me wrong, the mistakes somehow make the films more endearing and I love them all. I just hope Peter Jackson does manage to make The Hobbit into a film. Hopefully his magic will work it's wonder's again. Namárië! Nai hiruvalyë Valimar! |
1-5-05--"The way is shut. It was made by those who are dead. The way is shut." Oy! I actually left this site alone for almost 2 days, but then I noticed ads were appearing after I added the Saybox and the Bravenet Poll. Not acceptable after all. Both have been removed until I find a different poll script to use. The tagboard is paid for so no worries there. I was bored so I made Belba Tooks Top LOTR Sites. I just wish someone would join something I make... Ú-chebin Estel anim. |
1-3-05--"For the time will soon come when Hobbits will shape the fortunes of all." I'm here when I should be sleeping. ah well, this is more fun.:P Lessee, site updates: I added 10 more movie quotes to the random quote script on the index page, I added a Say Box for quick comments. Just behave people. I added a poll for those Questions that need answering. I added a new affiliate. I'm looking for quality sites to affy with, so tag my Say box, sign my guestbook or email me and let me know if you're interested. Elen síla lúmenn' omentielvo. A star shines upon the hour of our meeting. |
1-2-05--"All we have to do is decide what to do with the time that is given to us." Westu hál! The new year is upon us little shirelings and I hope it is blessed for all of us. I'm still tweaking the html on the main index page, I'm fine-tuning it, polishing it up a bit. I added a poll, affiliates, beloved and so forth and a new music track. It's the ROTK Trailer music and I love it. I have lots of LOTR music now on my pc, I wish I could put it on some of the pages here but it would kill my bandwidth. lol But I listen to nothing but Howard Shore's LOTR music when I'm working on this site and/or one of the LOTR movies is playing on the tv. Yeah, I know. I got it bad. Ú-chebin Estel anim. |
12-30-04--"Whatever you did, you've been officially labled a disturber of the peace." If you came in from the entrance page, you will see I did some major modifications to the layout. All the LOTR sites I really like use 2 or more tables, so I thought "Why not?" It seems much busier now and it doesn't have the same calm feel to it, but oh well. I might change the music or just remove it. I love the new forum I joined - The White Shores. The webmaster is nice and there are some interesting people there. Wow, tomorrow is the last day of 2004! I hope next year is better. 2004 got rather wacky towards the end. I'm not sad to see it's passing. Ai! laurië lantar lassi súrinen, Ah! like gold fall the leaves in the wind, yéni únótimë ve rámar aldaron! long years numberless as the wings of trees! Yéni ve lintë yuldar avánier The long years have passed like swift draughts mi oromardi lissë-miruvóreva of the sweet mead in lofty halls... Westu hál! |
