Recently I suggested to my two roommates that we kill an entire day and watch the Lord of the Rings trilogy, extended edition. Like most things I say, I was half-joking; but unlike most things I say, they both took this suggestion 100%. So that very day we went to the grocery store and bought munching food. We also made a pair of phone calls to recruit fellowship prospects. As getting everybody together was not unlike getting ten cats in one box, we didn't actually all sit down until 8:45 pm. Being the compulsive writer I am, I logged our journey in real time. It was at this hour when hobbits came to shape the fortunes of all.
8:45pm - Matt just gave us a kickoff speech. From here, Matt, Jeht, Max, Angelina, RC and myself will embark on the (extended) trilogy to Mordor and back. Food is plentiful and everyone is in good spirits.
8:50pm - Actually Matt has disappeared in the kitchen, juggling food and drink. Our journey has been delayed, but why not get it right?
"Whispers of a Nameless Fear"
9:48pm - "Get off the road! Quick!" Everybody is still drinking and laughing. There is an appropriate amount of credence to the film (as we know when to shut the fuck up) but yet people aren't afraid to venture jokes and quips.
10:37pm - Jeht just made pizza rolls at Rivendell. We celebrated.
10:42pm - We changed discs and everyone wrote their favorite lines on a giant piece of butcher paper hanging on the wall. p.s. I can't wait for: "What is this new devilry?"
11:23pm -"You shall not pass!" Everyone is totally into it, but conversations have strayed into strange realms. Ex. "What would a date with Gandolf entail?"
11:28pm - I feel good but don't like how quickly 6 people ate 80 pizza rolls. Also, why do people forget that Ewoks wanted to EAT Han, Luke and Leia? I mean, shit, that's dark.
11:45pm - Matt passed out Hawaiian bread. Easily the tastiest thing ever. This is our elven bread? Or is it elfin bread? You nerds know what I mean.
12:17pm - Fellowship is broken over (read: end of the first movie). Shorter than I feared. Wait. We're only one-third through this story? Dammit...
