May In A Nutshell

Can anyone tell me what happened to May?  It seemed to pass by me in a blur!
I still seem to be at sixes and sevens as I write this – so if it seems a little vague or choppy – my apologies!

 

 

As I look at this post, it doesn’t look like I did a whole lot – but believe me, I was busy.  And here’s why!

 

– Watched –
*coughs* This looks like . . . a lot.  That’s because TV is a family event and how I hang out with family in the evenings.  Trust me, I did more than watch TV in May.  *slinks away*

 

The Pixie Hollow Games: 

 

Judge all you want.  I.  Love.  The.  Tinkerbell.  Series.  The Pixie Hollow Games is an adorable and funny spoof off of the Olympics and, as always, features solid character arcs and themes.  Can I also mention all the fabulous world building and the tiny little details of the fairy world?

 

The Hobbit Trilogy:

 

So I’ve read the book but . . . . I liked the movies better.

 

 

I thought the movies did a great job of fleshing out basically . . . everything .  I cared more about the Dwarves and their quest.  When Bilbo pledges his help to reclaim their home . . . *trails off for a moment, sniffing* . . . I was ready to pledge my fealty with him!
There were so many beautiful moments – such fine acting and good storytelling.  Granted, I only saw about . . . fifty percent? . . . of each movie.  Less for Battle of the Five Armie.  Basically I just didn’t watch many of the scenes with orcs, goblins or dragons because I don’t like looking at them.  #yuck
But that tells you something, because even with that percentage, I still liked them better than the book.

 

 

And by the way, I loved Tauriel and Kili – I thought their relationship was perfect and precioussssss.
