I don't like either team. I'm rooting for the food.



Barnes and Noble had a buy one get 50% off your second one DVD/Blu-Ray sale. I bought the extended editions of the first two Hobbit films. I don't have a working DVD, misplaced the cord while moving. And, the Smaug film only came in Blu-Ray. I figured that I would play it on my computer but found out that Windows 8 doesn't have the player, Windows 7 does. I saw that both could be streamed and that did the trick.



Flixster is my streaming service now. Set it up through my Roku stick. Good quality.



Filed my taxes today, a bit of a delay with the activation code. I was waiting for an internet chat and a phone call and both took forever. While waiting I tried Google and the answer was go to your acceptance E-Mail for the code. Looked, and there it was. The program had filled-in the code for the software not the filing fee code.

Today, an old classic: spaghetti and meatballs. Have to spice things up so I threw in a Pablono pepper and Hot Sausage.To top it off: Garlic Bread. Rao's sauce with wine will accompany.



Watched The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey last night. Pretty good although a tad too long. Won't get the extended edition, watched all the new scenes on Youtube, only 13 minutes were added. Can't wait for The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug.



Hope Beorn shows up.

Saw the trailer for the The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug. The clip involved Gandalf and Radagast in a dark catacomb, called High Fells, where the Nazgul have escaped from their tombs. I remember Gandalf going to Dol Gulder and the White Council driving the Necromancer out of Dol Guldur. I have to get my The Return of the King and go through the appendices.



In poking around the Internet ,after watching the new Hobbit trailer, came across Ender's Game which is coming out shortly as a movie.



Also came across this Visual which included Ender's Game.
