Friday! This week has gone by so fast I'm not even sure how I got here. Nothing exciting happened at all, I worked and did school and instead of every day dragging by, it's Friday! This weekend goes homework, Disneyland, homework. That seems like a good balance to me. My Disney pass expires this weekend so I need to make one last use of it to make a profit. I'm at the break-even point now so the cost investment worked out but I might as well feel good about having the pass. Besides, it's the annual pumpkin/Halloween fest at Disney. Today is also the 2 week countdown for departure for Sydney!
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...
This week went by so fast, I had too look at my clock this morning to make sure it was Friday.
