Saw my brother's school's rendition of The Hobbit. Very cute, all in all. And for a small town school and a small town budget, they had some nifty special effects.

Highlights:

Bilbo was played by a girl- a very talented actress and a good friend of mine.

Gollum was played by a 6'2" football player. =D He did really well. He wore all black, but his hands, feet and face were covered in paint that glowed under the black lights. Quite cool, actually.

My brother played Thorin. He was teh cyoot. Don't ever tell him I said that.

Sting was fairly impressive, too. Glow-in-the-dark hairspray covering the blade makes it glow under blacklight, just like Gollum. So it was very realistic.

Smaug looked just a little bit like Barney. Color me amused.

The weekend was fun- I got to go to a Wal-Mart that didn't close at 10pm, hallelujah! And I got to go back to where I used to work and see everyone. Fun, because I actually liked working there.

We'll be heading back up north around 4 today. Which means I'll be home around 9. I'm glad I don't have any homework this weekend. Not that it would have been hard to do it here, just that I wouldn't have wanted to do it.

I'm going to catch up on email and LJ comments today. Really. I think I can... I think I can... I think I can... and all that rot. ;D
