6 hours of sleep in one shot at last! After being awake yesterday for 22 hours, I finally made it into my bed and slept until 5:00 am this morning. I could have used the last 2 hours that my alarm was set for but once I'm up, that's it. So now I'm downing the first Nescafe in my room before I retrieve the Kuwait Times and head to breakfast. Today is another long one with a good 12 hours of scheduled activities ahead of me. This is all much more manageable now that I don't have the stress of doing school every morning and evening. As usual, the sun is up and it looks to be another typical day in Kuwait.
The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug
Most Hobbit minded people have already seen the latest installment so this is for those of you waiting for the crowds to go down. Part 2 is much better than part 1. This applies to all viewers. Where the gap happens if you have not read the book (including the appendices) you will probably like the whole movie. If you've read the book and taken the time to read the appendices, then you'll appreciate the back story that's presented here. The spirit of Tolkien is present and Desolation of Smaug fits well within what will become a 6 part movie. What I liked....The opening sequence. This is not in the book and I had to look it up in the appendices and sure enough, Gandalf and Thorin did meet in Bree. Thranduil and Legolas father/son relationship. I liked it. While only a mere mention in the appendices, in this movie we see Legolas loyal to his father. That Legolas doesn't mesh with the person he becomes and it will be interesting to see what happens to Legolas in the nex...
