How are you killing time until the Hobbit 3 trailer is released?

Have you made Dwarf and Orc finger-puppets to re-enact your version of the Battle of Five Armies?
Have you built a miniature Smaug to see how quickly his fire is extinguished in a bird-bath?
Are you keeping track of the 'waiting' memes on TORN's Facebook page?
Share with us what you're doing while you're not twiddling your fingers for news about the Hobbit trailer!

Sauron: "Mine's better."

Wow - such a loaded question: Is life worth nothing more than avoiding the span of life between Hobbit trailers and films? I know this is in humor, but sometimes I wonder why we'd want our lives to speed headlong towards its end. There's so much noise and begging made about production videos and trailers that maybe spoil the experience we're waiting for. Some people like the processes as an experience all its own, but it's not for me.
I once remarked to an office mate that I couldn't wait until my kids were out of diapers. She said with some sympathy, "Don't wish your life away." I took it to heart and made even those moments enjoyable.
I don't do anything Hobbit related in between films except visit this site from time to time, and that will stop when I begin to see spoilage. I'm not waiting or watching for trailers or production videos either, so it's usually a surprise when one is released.
Now his life is full of wonder
But his heart still knows some fear
Of a simple thing he cannot comprehend
Why they try to tear the mountains down
To bring in a couple more
More people, more scars upon the land

Especially for those excited for these movies, this will be the last time to wait for all this, to anticapte it and to speculate about it. Enjoy. It will be over so soon. :)

We all have our hearts and minds one way or another invested in these books and movies. So we all mind and should show the necessary respect.

I'm still waiting for The Darkening of Mirkwood, latest suppliment for The One Ring Roleplaying Game, to ship. The last I saw, it has cleared U.S. Customs and is on the way to the warehouse.
