I see that New Line cinema has decided to go ahead with the making of “The Hobbit” without director Peter Jackson at the helm. It seems they owe him money and don’t want to pay up, so they’re cheating Tolkien fans now too. I expect they’ll be approaching Keanu Reeves to play Bilbo Baggins next…

Also, my mate Rik Abel, has alerted me to this. Art and slides! Slides and art! Art = Fun! I think I might have to take time out for a day-trip to London when I head home for Christmas.

Finally, the news from our end is that Hyon Ju got the result of her application to Kyoto Dentoukougeidaigaku (Kyoto Traditional Arts and Crafts University) yesterday. She sat in her room all day yesterday waiting, and finally at 6.30 in the evening the “express” delivery arrived. And…

…SHE PASSED!

So for the next two years she’ll be doing things with wood (and spending all her savings) and she’ll have a proper visa at last and won’t have to go back to Korea. So that’s nice then. Congratulations Hyon Ju!

Now get yer knickers on and make me a cabinet!

(good job she can’t read this…)
