So what's a girl to do when the other three members of her family decide that the very coolest way to spend the Saturday before Christmas is to hook up a projector to a DVD player and watch all three episodes of The Lord of the Rings back-to-back?
And can I just say how mystified I am that they were all THRILLED by the prospect of more than 11 hours of staring into Frodo's freaky blue eyes? Yah.
I was done after about an hour. Because I know how it ends. And that's enough for me. No need to re-hash the entire fate of the universe nor re-fight the battle with Sauron. :)

C'est moi
I was raised Mormon, but now I'm a hippie Quaker living in the OC with my two teenage kids: CatGirl & GameBoy.
Twenty-six years ago I lost my right leg to bone cancer. Awhile ago I had an antibiotic-resistant infection in my lower left leg, and now I'm healing from surgery and feeling better every day.
I like gardening, making history, outrigger canoeing, trying new things, and my afternoon cup of tea.

Yikes - those movies were a bit too long for me. Perhaps I should try the books? I keep meaning to read them - I can sit for hours and hours reading, but I don't have the same endurance for watching movies.
I was worried about the same, but the time passed by pretty quickly.
The books aren't for everyone. You have to be pretty into fantasy to enjoy them--all full of elves and all.
Thanks for the comment! Our kitty's do look alike! I hear ya on the movie thing. I just don't have the attention span for that! Especially with my laptop beckoning to me if I go more than an hour without checking in. I need a 12 step program :) But I do have a soft spot for Frodo's eyes...
I would've enjoyed a HP marathon much better. Harry is my man and I love the magic of Rowling's world!
