A Runes countdown?

Post by Lord Mhoram »

I remember before FOTR came out in theatres, there was a big LOTR site that had a countdown until it arrived in theatres: I'm talking months, weeks, days, minutes, seconds. Everything. I don't think we need seconds :wink: but I know everyone here has been waiting for Runes for some length of time and when we get a definite publication date, I think it would be cool to have something like that. :) Just a thought.

A counter would be way cool!!! :D :D
And I believe in you
altho you never asked me too
I will remember you
and what life put you thru.

~fly fly little wing, fly where only angels sing~

~this world was never meant for one as beautiful as you~

...for then I could fly away and be at rest. Sweet rest, Mom. We all love and miss you.

In the name of their ancient pride and humiliation, they had made commitments with no possible outcome except bereavement.

He knew only that they had never striven to reject the boundaries of themselves.

Good call! Vain, can we do that at this site?

We would need more than one counter though, probably two, one for Europe, and one for the U.S.
And so on I walk the world,
a slave to this dark fiend,
traveling, traveling, held within a dream......

Me being the kind of person who doesn't like to look for things, I will just ask. When exactly does it come out? Much wanting to know.
My right hand is lightning and my left is thunder.
My eyes are flame.
My heart is ashes.
Look upon me and tremble.

115 DAYS UNTIL RUNES OF THE EARTH.

Er...assuming that October 24th is still the magical day. Any updated info on that from Elohimfest, anyone?

I do hope we can get some kind of counter going. Vain? Vain?

Amazon.com (US) says October 14th. Haven't heard a better guess.

My mom pre-ordered it from amazon back in May. I think she really WANTS this book. She's got a little calendar on her desk and she's ticking off the days until October 14th. And on the 14th, she's got RUNES written in in big red letters. :lol:
For Myles--
When evening shadows and the stars appear
And there is no one to dry your tears
I could hold you for a million years
To make you feel my love

For Mom--
Did you ever know that you're my hero,
and everything I would like to be?
I can fly higher than an eagle,
for you are the wind beneath my wings.

Fly...fly high against the sky...
Thank you, thank you, thank God for you
The wind beneath my wings
