When I'm not blogging, it's a sure sign that work has taken over my body and turned me into a corporate zombie that would like to eat brains but is too busy to leave the office. I was up at 4:00 am today, so I could work before I went to work. I had to go offsite today and that meant losing time in the car. So it was a couple hours before the drive and then once home, another 3 hours. 14 hour days don't amuse me especially when they are followed or started with school. Tomorrow, the formula repeats! I can't wait to be on the plane and turn off all electronic devices, watch a movie I don't like, and eat food that's full of calories and carbs but lacking in flavor!
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...
