On this happy Friday at 5:40 am, I'm off to build plastic food kits that are used for training employees on how to make burgers. This sounds simple but putting these kits together is the same type of workout that you would get from doing squats and lifting weights for hours at a time. All my muscles will be in pain later today but there is a perfect cure waiting at the end of the day! It's Mondo's birthday and we're having pizza and the Brazilian drinks and hanging out at home! All relaxing and fun!
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...
Ewww. I remember that! Not only the workout but the broken nails and the smell that sticks in your nose for weeks to come!
