The Hobbit

I finally started reading "The Hobbit". Yes, yes, don't judge me, despite being a big fantasy fan, I've never read it before. You see, I'm not really into hobbits. Not even the LotR ones. They were the least interesting thing about LotR for me, I'm rather an elf girl - see my icon.

But then this beautiful thing happened:



Martin Freeman as Bilbo Baggins. I'm not a fan of Elijah Wood or Sean Astin or of any other actor who played a hobbit in LotR - but I'm a big fan of Martin Freeman. And that totally changed my attitude towards the movie, the book and hobbits in general. And so I finally got my hands on the book and started reading it. It's the illustrated version with beautiful pictures and an amazing cover:



We'll see how I like it...

Gorgeous, isn't it?

And I needed something to cheer me up because the mason called this morning with his estimation of how much the repairs on our house will cost, plastering and all. At least 100k. I... I didn't know what to say, to be honest. He put us down for August/September which means I'll have to cut down on everything in the next 5 months and I'll still have to borrow money to cover the expenses. Well, fuck.

Breathe, girl. You managed to pay for the new garage roof, the central heating, the fridge, the fuse box, the living room floor and for the plaster on one wall already last year. You'll handle this too. Just breathe.

Lovely!

When asked about a possible fourth series, Moffat revealed that Sherlock star Benedict Cumberbatch was keen to continue playing the lead role. Link.

Doctor Who 504+505

Wow, whoever came up with the Weeping Angels should be given a medal. That was AMAZING! I can't remember the last time I felt so scared watching a TV show. Wow, just WOW!

( 504+505 )

Man! I hope we see more of the Weeping Angels. What a great, original idea!
