So Super Tuesday has been eclipsed by Tornado Tuesday. What a sad and extreme situation for all those people who were hit without warning. I'm glad that the danger is over for them. The week is chugging along and another hour of homework is logged in for the night. I have three trips for work all floating around in the universe and I hope they land and settle in so I can get on with life as it is normal for me. It's been an odd week and I'll explain on Friday. For now, school and work are my total focus except for the quick blog post of course!

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...
