Sir Ian McKellan graciously answered questions live on Twitter under the hashtag #AskGandalf — this is why Twitter is a wonderful thing!
RT @shhhhgrogs: Sir Ian, is there anything special that you kept, like Gandalf’s staff or hat, either from the Hobbit or LOTR? #AskGandalf
I was given Gandalf’s hat by Peter Jackson. And his staff. And I already had Glamdring, which I keep with a couple of umbrellas and the sticks that Leigh Teabing used in the Da Vinci Code. And if you wonder why you don’t see the big keys to Bag End in #TheHobbit, it’s b/c they’re hanging up on my terrace overlooking the Thames in London.RT @Allan_isumi: Have you ever said some quote of Gandalf in your routine day, Sr Ian? #AskGandalf
Visiting schools, I have warned students that if they don’t revise hard for their exams: “You shall not pass!”RT @GilbertLowe: @TheHobbitMovie @ianmckellen I don’t have a dad. I always wanted my dad 2 b a wizard. Will u b my dad? R u my dad? #iloveu
I used to have hair like yours, so who knows… You should ask your mum.RT @TrollingGnome: @TheHobbitMovie #AskGandalf DO YOU LIKE BACON GANDALF?
Yes, indeedy-deedy. Crisp and salty.
Oh, Sir Ian! Why are you so incredibly adorable and charming?

A four minute exclusive video from Air New Zealand on making of Middle Earth. To Lord of the Rings movie fans, New Zealand is the ultimate mecca. Not only does it look like a beautiful country but you can now visit the real Shire movie set that they had decided to not tear down after production.
My definite goal is to visit New Zealand within the next couple of years and get the full on Hobbit, Elves, Dwarves, etc. experience. Doesn’t the green scenery in this video just make your inner nature lover drool profusely? So magical and peaceful!

Now this is a lot of fun and it’s also delicious! For the past week or so, I have been watching my friend, Aun-Juli, post all kinds of Lord of the Rings inspired tea blends on her Adagio.com store.
I have recently stopped drinking coffee (again) and replaced the habit with drinking tea instead (again… let’s see how long I last before I fall off the wagon). I love the idea of Adagio allowing people to blend their own tea but have them themed to my specific interests too!
ThanksGEEKing! I totally just made that up. Feel free to yell at me.
2012 for ‘geeks’ has been a good one and continues to be a good one. As a fangirl representative of this blog, I thought I would make up a list of all the things I am thankful for. Besides family, friends and a good life, I certainly have had a good year of fangirling and I’m going to start with the obvious…
More stinky tofu talk than sexy talk but the Lady Geeks discuss 626 Market Night, the Hobbit movie trilogy and how much Batman spends on his toys. We also talk about our most favorite and least favorite pairings in the science fiction and fantasy genre.
