Tolkien's NEW book
Hey to all the Tolkien fans (me included) just thought I inform you of the great new development...I for one can't wait to get my grubby hands on it...after LOTR I hope this is a hit...heres a snippet about events unfolding...
J.R.R. Tolkien Has a New Book Coming Out
Just because he's dead doesn't mean he doesn't have a new book coming out. A new, previously unpublished work by J.R.R. Tolkien will hit bookstores in April, 2007.
Houghton Mifflin has acquired U.S. rights to publish the first complete book by J.R.R. Tolkien since the posthumous Silmarillion in 1977. HM bought American rights to The Children of Hürin from HarperCollins UK, which acquired the project from The Tolkien Estate in a world rights deal. Hürin, begun in 1918, was reconstructed by Christopher Tolkien, painstakingly editing together the complete work from his father’s many drafts, this book is the culmination of a 30-year endeavor by him to bring J.R.R. Tolkien’s vast body of unpublished work to a wide audience. HM will publish Hürin in April 2007, on the same day as HarperCollins' international editions. Janet Silver, v-p and publisher of Houghton Mifflin, said, "As J.R.R. Tolkien's original American publisher, dating back to The Hobbit, we are extremely proudto be bringing thisproject to Tolkien's devoted readership in the United States."
Actually, we're quite happy that Christopher Tolkien is taking the time to ensure that all of his father's work is finally published.

Cricket Bloody Cricket...

Until Malinga came in with some awesome bowling...all we needed was 4 runs i tell ya...just 4 but SA had to go and give people heart attacks, I don't get these guys. First Kallis goes then we drop 3 more wickets and there we all thinking we losing...hmmm I feel sorry for the tail enders. Imagine the pressure for them and what a dose of adrenaline they getting. The ultimate flying drug coursing through their veins. Even Polly couldn't watch the end. What amazing tension...
But what superb bowling by Malinga.
All credit goes to him, I mean we were definitely cruising to a win till he came back with a vengeance. O and not forgetting VAAS. And Langerveldt. They definitely made the cricket yesterday entertaining...Otherwise it was turning into the rest of this WC totally boring (minus the killing of Woolmer and the upset wins against India and Pakistan)...
All In all I'd say SA were damn lucky

My Mood Right Now....
Evanescence - Lithium
Lithium, don't want to lock me up inside.
Lithium, don't want to forget how it feels without...
Lithium, I want to stay in love with my sorrow.
Oh, but God, I want to let it go.
Come to bed, don't make me sleep alone.
Couldn't hide the emptiness, you let it show.
Never wanted it to be so cold.
Just didn't drink enough to say you love me.
I can't hold on to me,
Wonder what's wrong with me.
Lithium, don't want to lock me up inside.
Lithium, don't want to forget how it feels without...
Lithium, I want to stay in love with my sorrow.
Don't want to let it lay me down this time.
Drown my will to fly.
Here in the darkness I know myself.
Can't break free until I let it go.
Let me go.
Darling, I forgive you after all.
Anything is better than to be alone.
And in the end I guess I had to fall.
Always find my place among the ashes.
I can't hold on to me,
Wonder what's wrong with me.
Lithium, don't want to lock me up inside.
Lithium, don't want to forget how it feels without...
Lithium,...stay in love with my sorrow.
I'm gonna let it go.
****Need I say more.....
This Song epitomises my feelings...my emotions and my life...my anthem....
