.... Really? For really real?

I would like to thank mizkit for choosing me to get a copy of her new book. I was hoping that it would change my luck if I won and I think it might have.

That or the universe is paying me off in weird, weird ways for all of the crap it has been throwing at me.

I won the raffle at the company party on Saturday. I get for my winnings a $100 gift certificate to spend at my work. (It is also, apparently taxable and the taxes are coming out of my next paycheck. The frogurt is also cursed....) This means as soon as I get back from this trip, it is totally Xbox and Rock Band time. And maybe something else as well. Perhaps... Beautiful Katamari? Hmmmmm.

Before I forget (because I'm going to and I'm going to be out of town/flying and really busy) Happy Birthday to both my mother and my friend Kyna!

YEEEEAAAAHHHH!

There will be presents. They'll just also be late because this month has kicked me around and I just realized that they were coming up on Friday. I'm a dork like that.

And now, I must write my review. I hate writing my review.

Because I haven't in awhile...

Hollywood Reporter says Guillermo Del Toro will be directing The Hobbit and the follow-up movie with Peter Jackson producing. I'm in. Seriously. I'd buy a ticket right now.

In an interview with the USA Today about the last issue of "Y: The Last Man," the director of the comic's upcoming adaptation, D.J. Caruso says it might become a trilogy of films.

CBS has ordered 13 episodes of "Flashpoint" (a working title for this show written in Canada), a new police drama about an elite big city Strategic Response Unit that will be broadcast later this year both on the CBS Television Network in the U.S. and on CTV, Canada's largest privately owned English language broadcast network.

Tricia Helfer has announced on her official website that she is voicing the Black Cat on "The Spectacular Spider-Man," premiering on March 8 at 10 a.m.

In some WTF news, Sam Raimi is teaming with Disney-ABC Domestic Television and ABC Studios on a new first-run, live-action weekly series. The series, titled "Wizard's First Rule," is based on Terry Goodkind's best-selling epic fantasy series "The Sword of Truth." Where the hell is this gonna go?

Dennis Quaid will play General Hawk and Channing Tatum will be Duke in the G.I. Joe movie.

NBC has pretty much said that they've now moved away from the concept of a pilot season, which has been a long time in coming now that we have new TV shows all year round. The Writer's Strike pretty much put the last nail in the coffin, though.
