Spent this morning switching between the French Nationals, Italian Nationals, & Ukrianian Nationals online streams as each one crashed, until the French stream seemed to lose its camera, the Italian stream stopped loading, and Ukrainian Nationals finished up for the day. Have since watched a couple of the top performances via YouTube. Perhaps tomorrow I shall have better luck.
At any rate today was spent going to meet a member of my Asberger's social group to see the final Hobbit. We got there way too early, I probably talked his ears off while he really didn't talk much, and I ended up declining his invitation to go eat after the movie. He wants to go see another one, but I don't know if I want to. I'm not sure how I felt about the movie either. In terms of quality it was about what I expected; no masterpiece, but fun enough to watch. Though it was annoying for Jackson to have the Laketown women declare they were grabbing weapons and joining the men in the battle, and then not actually showing them doing so. Given how damn long the battle was, surely there could've been room to follow through on that. Also not sure how I feel about his use of Tauriel, whose story got completely subsumed by the love story. Surprised when she got out of the movie alive, though relieved she didn't get promptly married off to Legolas. But did have one bigger disappointment: after spending weeks not watching the Star Wars trailer because I'd heard it was supposed to be attached to this movie and I liked the idea of seeing it on the big screen first, it wasn't there! Now I suppose I shall seek it out.
Came home to the news I'd accidentally shut the cat up in my room. Not that this stopped him from promptly coming back in here...
