Today I found it more fun to play in the blogosphere than contribute to the blogosphere. Between work and school my brain needs time to focus on mindless entertainment. Blog surfing is one way to do that, mindless television the other. Welcome back, America's Next Top Model and hello to America's most Smartest Model. Beauty and Geek, Project Runway, and Flavor of Love 3 and I Love New York 2. The trashier the reality genre, the better for my stress level! No one on these shows will find true love or fashion success but I enjoy their 15 minutes. And is anyone else indulging in my new favorite guilty pleasure - Gossip Girl? Please don't get canceled Gossip Girl, I have been waiting for years for something to replace Dawson's Creek!
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...
Have you watched Bionic Woman? I watched the first episode and was totally confused, but at least we know what happened to Starbuck :-) I recorded the next two episodes but have not watched them. I'm also behind on Bones viewing.
