See, from me this news is revolutionary because I've never actually read The Hobbit. It is also revolutionary because, while I like the movies well enough, I have yet to actually make it through the books. Every time I try, the songs irritate me and I put the book down and then eventually return it to the library or the friend.
The Hobbit has a completely different voice to it that gives it a completely different feel. I'd tell you to ignore the songs but you'd actually miss some of the story. The first time I read the trilogy I had to substitute english names for the pseudo norweigan ones that Tolkien used. That helped a lot. But yeah, the songs can get on your nerves. So can the chapter long description of how the grass waves in Rohan in Two Towers...
Yeah, see... it's the stuff about the grass that gets me. Kinda like when I was reading Grapes of Wrath, those chapters about the turtle were labourious, and made me hate my life.
I got a blank check and told to contact them so I could get money and then I got a letter a week later telling me I might not be eligible for Unemployment because I am:
Attending School Quit Job Willingly
I explained to them that I quit my job because my boss was threatening to fire me and they said "Alright we'll give you a check as soon as we verify this with your boss" then my boss said "Nope, I never did that" and they said "Sorry Dave, you're out of luck" I could have fought it but I really don't want to do it since I plan on attending college in September and that would just invalidate me for Unemployment anyway.
Weird. Well, I definitely was let go from my job, and not for anything illegal... and I remember when I filed in NJ, they were pretty prompt about letting me know I'd been denied, even after they gave me an estimate. Now, with these payments, they're actually showing as having been released, and if I don't recieve my Direct Payment Card by next Wednesday, then I'll know someone's pulling my leg.
