The Hobbit

My life is now complete...Today Peter Jackson announced that The Hobbit will be made! There had been a huge fight between Jackson and New Line over royalties which made everyone think "The Hobbit" would never come...guess again. :)
Seriously the best movies ever made!

Above is a short film that definitely caught my attention. Very powerful. Yet made very simple. Great acting too! If anyone who has dealt with Alzheimer's, this will probably hit a chord.

Feeling the WGA Strike...

I am really starting to feel the Writer's Guild Strike. I am behind them about 75%. They do need to get paid more, but they are making some pretty ridiculous demands. How could they get money from reality TV? And they are also making demands for all writers to be a part of the WGA. What will happen if the writers get the upper hand for the first time ever? I just want it to end with the writers and directors making more money from DVDs and a little from online viewing. However, this will mean a possible fee to watch our shows online when it used to be free. :\ It hasn't happened yet, but is seems unavoidable....
Here's how many episodes are left:


I am needing my shows really badly and to go most if not all of the spring season without them will be a nightmare. Reality is, there will be no new episodes of The Office, LOST (other than the 8 that will air out of the planned 14), Bionic Woman, ER, The Unit, Grey's Anatomy, and Heroes. YES. No more episodes until mid to late 2008. There will only be reality tv and gameshows!!!!

Renewing

I am so glad finals are over. The holidays are the time where I can just click refresh and stabilize my life until a whole new semester begins.

My Pup is 11!

My dog, Jase, turned eleven last Friday! He is a Jack-Russel terrier (mixed breed) and is in pretty good shape. Here is a picture of us a few weeks back. I'll upload some pics from his birthday as soon as I find the camera.

The Madness Begins

Okay. So I procrastinated on studying for my exams. I have 3 on Wednesday and 1 on Friday. I could move one final on Wed., but honestly, I just want to get it over with. I am going to try my best to not get stressed out, but I am working at Nike today from 5-11pm and then in the morning from 7am-4pm. So that leaves me really with a quick study in the morning from about 5-6am. and then cramming from 5-??? tomorrow night. And not to sound cocky or prideful, but I will most likely do good on exams. Even with not studying a lot. I will have all As and Bs this semester and I will make at least a B on each of my finals...most likely an A on most. Why? Because I guess things are finally clicking. I am interested in this stuff and so I don't need to be told twice about things. The hardest will be studying Mongol and Middle Easter specifics and a comprehensive understanding of American Government. But I will bull-crap my way through that and do good. For those of you in or have been in college...you know, you know.
So here's to the lack of sleep over the next few days and the nap I just took in the library!
:D
