Any early-birds who are lucky enough to be home this morning and not still sleeping (I watched Cate on Letterman last night and am now paying for it this morning! -Xo) may want to check out Live! With Regis and Kelly at 10AM ET. Cate Blanchett is set to be one of their guests. [US TV Listings] [CAN TV Listings]
Month: November 2003
The Maritim Hotel in Bonn, Germany has the past weekend been home of Europe’s biggest Tolkien and Lord of the Rings-related convention: Ring*Con 2003. For the second year in a row all that had anything to do with the books or the movies gathered for a weekend of fun, interesting panels, lectures, workshops and even more fun! Check out my thoughts on the second day here!
And please keep sending me your thoughts on the event!
Not that we haven’t mentioned the recent LOTR-TV blitzkrieg that is expected for the next few weeks, but I thought I’d remind you about this before I retire for the evening. Cate Blanchett will be on The Late Show with David Letterman tonight starting at 11:35PM. More images and a report tomorrow!

Lay down
your sweet and weary head
Night is falling,
you have come to journey’s end.
Sleep now,
and dream of the ones who came before.
They are calling
from across the distant shore.
Why do weep?
What are these tears upon your face?
Soon you will see
all of your fears will pass away,
safe in my arms
you’re only sleeping.
What can you see
on the horizon?
Why do the white gulls call?
Across the sea
a pale moon rises —
The ships have come to carry you home.
Dawn will turn
to silver glass
A light on the water
All souls pass.
Hope fades
into the world of night
through shadows falling
out of memory and time.
Don’t say,
“We have come now to the end.”
White shores are calling
you and I will meet again.
And you’ll be here in my arms
Just sleeping.
What can can you see
on the horizon?
Why do the white gulls call?
Across the sea
a pale moon rises —
The ships have come to carry you home.
And all will turn
to silver glass
A light on the water
Grey ships pass
Into the west.
