A Ridiculously long Time...

Good grief. Last post: 15th August, 2012.
That's rather a long while.

It isn't as if nothing blog-worthy has happened since then. Concerts, Sports Days, exams, CHRISTMAS for crying out loud. In a nutshell, everything that has ever been fully blog-worthy in my life has finally passed, and I haven't written a single thing since August. And that isn't even a proper post.

Just to keep up to date, I finally watched 'The Hobbit' on Christmas Eve. Nine years, I have waited. No kidding. And I wan't disappointed. Critics may be hammering the daylights out of Jackson's latest franchise, but, to be very blunt, who cares? I don't. For one, just returning to Middle-Earth on the big screen is something I've been waiting for for half my life. Sure, as far as CGI and the action sequences went, it was a tad over-the-top, but that too for a LOTR prequel. Compared to all the horrors that have come out since 'Fellowship' in the name of a renewed fantasy film market, 'The Hobbit' hardly counts as over-the-top. I would have preferred it if the dwarves didn't just fall into crevices in caves and miraculously recover unharmed a la 'Pirates of the Caribbean', but it did nothing to damage the sheer elation that was the rest of the film. And the 48 fps? well, excuse me, but I liked it.

On another note, it turns out that my blog has had more page-views from Australia than India. Thanks, Spandu, for helping me go international.
