I dreamt that I was at a strip club (thanks, 221). I recall the dancers were uncharacteristically very into audience participation. Also, unlike Remington's of the Tuesday Night Student Specials, the dancers were not male, but it was a rather nice strip club, even if the whole thing was shaped like the coliseum. In fact, I am reminded of the Oglaf comic "
Sport" (NSFW). Meanwhile, the apocalypse passed over and everyone in the strip club was thrust into an alternate universe. All the dancers were transformed into knucklebone toys.
I began to make a living at a smoothie stand. However whenever I made a smoothie with too many berries or one that was too full, I would get chopped up and used as smoothie mix, which is conveniently lumpy and red. I didn't die after the many times I put too many berries in the smoothies, but eventually I ran for it and hid in a supermarket, where I decided that buying green tea bagels was a good idea. Then I woke up.

Nightshade and I had a lovely time downtown, but it was really damn cold. We went to Laywines, where I obtained a bottle of Waterman's ink in purple. She escaped with a Tintin pencil. This was followed by a short detour to the ROM gift shop and a complete failure to find any PATH entrances. A few more geographical fails later found us at the Silver Snail. Is it really that hard to get action figures' faces right???
Then, a bakery at Queen and Main. I ate the most expensive eclair of my life.

NO SERIOUSLY, WHAT THE HELL IS GALADRIEL DOING IN
THE HOBBIT TRAILER? The lighting reminds me of the Aragorn/Arwen scene on the bridge. Gandalf has a rather awestruck look on his face, and Galadriel, who has been essentially married for the last few millennia, is pushing a strand of his hair back over his ear.
Apart from that - I like it. They've emphasized a lot of continuity things (understandable for marketing purposes, but I like continuity). The use of music (by Howard Shore <3) is excellent, especially if it pervades throughout.
