hobbit hole

"down, down, down in goblin toooooown"

we finished the first part of the extended cut of the hobbit this evening, mr smear loved it and i think he's finally excited about reading the graphic novel with me. he was totally into the swamp thing last weekend, and he got angry with me when i stopped reading before the guy's head gets twisted around because i thought it was too much.

meanwhile, we witnessed a bunch of goblins and ogres being decapitated tonight so i guess a slightly extreme take on looking over one's shoulder is probably fine. 

his biggest worry at night is an evil queen (i think it's since watching willow), this evening he tried to convince me that she's allergic to the theme of pirates of the caribbean so i should leave that playing all night.

... 

this week has been intense. first, because i'm paid hourly and i realized that last week was actually average for the month, second because i've barely had a moment to focus on anything, it's just been a constant barrage of distractions both work and life in general. 

at least we've gotten a handle on online groceries. i wish we'd done that months ago.

the latest comic page is done!
