The Hobbit

Apparently "The Hobbit" begins filming in Wellington today, you know the book that came before the ever-successful "Lord of the Rings" series. People will probably head over to take a look at filming whenever they get the chance, although I wouldn't know where to begin looking. Its a perfect day for it though, sunny skies, mid to upper 60's and surprisingly not windy like usual. Meanwhile I'm stuck inside writing my first research essay of the semester for my intro to writing class. It is an interesting paper though as I'm finding positions for and against the idea of offshore drilling amongst the U.S. and other countries of the world.
