Due to an intense work week, I've actually run out of words. I've saved this picture of a friend's ferret for a slow blog day and this seems to be it. This is Bandit and he lives in St. Louis. Not sure of his personality but all the ferrets I've met are friendly and curious so I'm willing to believe that Bandit is the same!
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...
Awwww... too cute! Sadly, they're illegal here in California, although I once knew a girl who had moved here from back East and smuggled her pet ferret over with her. She lived in fear of the authorities...

Wow, had did it get to be Aug. 6th? Happy birthday, Brad.
ReplyDeleteBandit reminds me of our little ferret although right right now I can't remember his name. Bandit looks much younger and the big question is how did they get him to stop moving long enough to take a picture?

And your ferret's name was Buckwheat was it not? No wonder he was my buddy!
ReplyDeleteYes, Buckwheat is correct. I don't know why that escaped me. He did like you!
