So here I am at Barnes and Noble, eating an overpriced reheated chicken wrap and black bean soup, and I open up my laptop and check my email -- careful, of course, to not introduce the black bean soup to my laptop.

Big News:
1. Ian McKellan = Gandalf in Hobbit film (He and Elrond are the only characters that need the same actors for continuity, but aside from that, Ian McKellan was Gandalf.)
