It's the end of the world... or not.

I could think of a million different quips regarding this 'rapture' nonsense, and the lack of it. But I will spare you and my few, approved twitter followers, even if this is probably the only time such a topic will ever arise in the foreseeable future. Though I do enjoy reading the hilarious tweets other people have come up with, as Twitter users have been going crazy over this. But then you get some people who seem to genuinely believe that there will be a rapture! I am resisting the urge to blab on about my viewpoints on religion, life and how other people shouldn't live it, but I am too tired to dive into that sink-hole. I feel like I'm treading on hot coals as it is.

Weird Dream

Was at a sort-of amusement park in my dream last night. There was a game where you could shoot live orcs with guns. After going a second time and seeing some girls dressed up as elves, I took a peek in some rooms where the people who worked there got ready. Found a weird, long ginger wig for dressing up as an elf. Then I was basically kidnapped and made to dress up as an elf, though the other girls were whispering amongst themselves, saying I wasn't pretty enough! Next thing I was trying to escape with a boy, and we were both dressed in protective csi suits. Weird.

The Hobbit - Start of Production

Peter Jackson is keeping all of his and Tolkien's fans up to date with the production of his two part film adaptation of The Hobbit on his own Facebook page. His updates started with announcing the beginning of production back in March. In other 'notes' he has discussed shooting the film at 48 frames per second, casting news and has given fans the chance to submit questions for him, 20 of which he will answer. He has also put up a few pictures, but what is most exciting is the ten minute video blog... which I won't spoil for you! I admit, I was a little more than excited; I had the biggest grin on my face and felt all warm and fuzzy inside while watching it! Having a behind the scenes, during-production tour from the director is more than any dedicated fan could ask for, and we (the fans) greatly appreciate it! He doesn't give too much away and will be releasing another video in the future...
