He's doing an online diary on the shooting of Lord of the Rings. Melissa asked me if DW was in it because someone she knows saw a promo and thought he was in it, but it might have been just Ian in a beard shot from hobbit-eye-level. I can only cross my fingers that Major Barbara gets extended long enough for these guys to cross paths in NYC so IM can drag DW into an internet cafe (are there any left?) and show him the ropes. Meanwhile, I just got an email that some distance learning program is using one of my fairytale research pages as part of its online syllabus. I was just going to take it down too! Life is nutz.
