reality leaves a lot to the imagination

Holy crap that took a lifetime to finish.

Not going to lie, we couldn’t watch all of the three movies one after the other. It was just too tiring. We made it past two of the movies, slept for a bit, and continued on to finished the third and final movie. The last time I watched the movies were when they first came out in theatres, I could only remember little of the plot. I’ve realized that some scenes were actually quite cheesy, but the battle scenes and whatnot were pretty epic to watch.

I really have no idea whose genius idea it was (come to think of it, it might have been mine) to watch the special extended editions of the movies, but that’s what we ended up watching. To give an idea of how long we watched for, here are the runtimes for each individual movie.

LOTR: Fellowship of the Ring - 3+ hours
LOTR: The Two Towers - 3.5+ hours
LOTR: The Return of the King - 4+ hours

Yeah, it was a really lengthy night. But I thought it was worth it. Maybe watching only the regular editions would have been fine though. It’s like 30 min to 1 hour less of footage.

For whatever my friends and I planned to watch a marathon of the Lord of the Rings trilogy today. We’ve already finished the first, and just started the second one a while ago. We just realized that this second one runs for over 3.5 hours, and my God that’s a long time. I think it’s cause they’re all special extended editions.

I have no idea if we’re going to make it past the night.

Another year has come and gone! Or is about to at least.

It’s really quite amazing how fast time can fly. Whether you’re enjoying yourself or suffering through pile loads of school work, the days just fly right by. To be honest, I don’t remember a lot of things from this year at the moment, but some of the highlights of 2010 for me would have to be:

- Vancouver hosting the 2010 Winter Olympics, and the gold medal win in men’s hockey
- finding my first official job this past summer
- subsequently quitting the job
- graduating high school
- moving onto something greater with my life (but it sucks cause it’s MORE school)
- enjoying the company of friends and loved ones
- a good year of discovering new music artists and movies like Inception, Toy Story 3

So now, I guess the question I’m asking myself is: “Am I looking forward to 2011?” I really don’t know. I guess nobody ever really knows what to expect, but you can always hope for the best and wish for another fun year ahead. Hope everyone has had a great year as well and take care as 2011 rolls around the corner.
