They took the hobbits to Isengard
Heh. That was awesome.
Yesterday we went to see Emily and watch the entirety of The Lord of the Rings Extended Edition on DVD. We started about 11.30 and continued with reasonable breaks until just after midnight. People dropping in and out of consciousness for much of the afternoon, being variously sustained by crisps, bread, cups of tea and falafel and dips.
It was an arduous task and not everybody had the stamina to stay the course. (Though they all produced excuses like “I have to meet a friend” or “I left my spinach puffs in the oven!” we knew these were just fabrications designed to save face.)
It was a really good day, and I’m keen to do it again (maybe after some time to recover). It will be hard to get something as cohesive as The Lord of the Rings to watch next time. I’m not really as excited about a Matrix-fest. Watching the entirety of Firefly in a single day might be worth it, or worth something anyway, but I can’t remember how long they are. Probably less than an hour though, so not longer any longer than this altogether.
We went television shopping today. We’ve found something we both quite liked and I’ve found some good reviews online too. Maybe soon enough we’ll be able to return the favour and get everyone over for a marathon of TV.

Ella is dancing around my bedroom as I type in delight at you finding the video :P
If I’d thought ahead I would have included a link to the Candy Helm’s Deep project. So I make amends by including it here.
