yesterday the roommate asked me if i could clean up my part of the apartment (which i means -- "do it, i ain't asking. but i'm gonna give the appearance i'm kindly asking.") because a few people are gonna come over tonight. i ask her who. "people". i ask her again because silence sounds weird and she finally confesses, "eric". good. fine. thanks for telling me. eric is a guy she's been emailing for the past couple of weeks. i think she met him through an online matching service (a friend of hers subscribed her; she didn't want anything to do with it. right. anyway, i think that's how they met and she's been writing long-ass emails, and i mean half-hour writing sessions at a time (she's not known to talk much about herself; dunno what she's writing about).
then i ask her what she's doing tonight (yesterday). "going out and having drinks." "with who?" "people." lol. i'm not kidding you!! i was finally able to learn that it was eric she was having drinks with. god... and she couldn't figure out why i was pissed at her for not telling me straight away.
surprisingly forthcoming news for you hobbit fans, thanks to dark horizons:
The superb Ian McKellan is developing a taste for hobbits and I ain't talking Elijah Wood. McKellan appeared yesterday on the UK's Richard &Judy chat show where he was asked about the persisting rumours that New Line is planning to go ahead with the prequel to the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy now its finally over.
McKellan seemed more upbeat and forthcoming than expected: "There is currently a situation where two companies own the rights, but when that's sorted out Peter (Jackson) and I will sit and talk it over. We've mentioned it recently and Peter is looking forward to getting it into production...It won't be long until I have to put on that blue hat again and become Gandalf - Gandalf The Grey that is!". The actor joked about his Gandalf the White being "a stick in the mud".
dang.
