Wow, today’s been a really mixed bag.

Saw the Hobbit!  Adored it!  It wasn’t flawless, but I found the flaws to be fairly minor (the character-in-the-story-tells-a-story framing felt kind of rough), and the virtues were many.  (Yay, Gandalf!  And I’ve fallen in love with his herd of dwarves!  AND HOLY SHIT, BILBO.  HOLY SHIT, GOLLUM.)

But then my grandmother’s in the hospital after unexplained bleeding.  She’s stable but they still don’t know what happened.  So yeah.

And then I spent $25 on a candle because it smells like the boxes of our Christmas decorations from when I was a kid and I have Christmas flashbacks every time I sniff it (Grandma and Grandpa used to have real trees for a long time, and the evergreen scent got all over everything forever after).

So um.  That happened.
