extraordinary news

Great news.

- Chile miners rescued after 69 days. That's an awesome story of the human spirit. And yes, I am going to ignore the part where one of the miners, upon his rescue, was greeted by his mistress instead of his wife.

- The Hobbit finally greenlit, with Peter Jackson directing and principal photography in Feb 2011. Oh my precious.

- Fiona Apple hard at work on follow-up to Extraordinary Machine. About damn time, you crazy mad genius girl.

- KevJumba and dad did not get eliminated last week on The Amazing Race. I seriously had a heart attack. Although I have to say, I am really not hating on any team this season.

- Tom Hardy has snagged a lead role in Christopher Nolan's third Batman movie. Pow!

- Did I already mention that The Hobbit is finally going to get made?! In 3-D no less. I can't even tell you how stoked I am at this news. It's like telling me that Madonna is reuniting with Pat Leonard and William Orbit and David Fincher. Or telling me that Julie Delpy and Ethan Hawke and Richard Linklater are now in Prague filming a sequel to Before Sunset. Or that they've found a cure for neuromuscular disorders. Or that they've canceled all my upcoming work trips. Or that I've won the lottery and can walk into work and give everyone the middle finger. Well not everyone. In fact, not anyone. I am going to be one of those classy rich people and just pack my mug and photos and ride off the sunset quietly.
