All Night Lord of the Rings

Not sure about the wisdom of doing this but stayed up the whole of Saturday night watching the complete Lord of the Rings. All three extended editions, back to back. A twelve and a half hour fantasy marathon. Never sat down and watched it in it's entirety before, so an achievement of sorts.

Ah well - can't say I've ever done that in pursuit of fiction - although I have stayed up until after breakfast in order to watch general election coverage on the 'special years' - i.e. when there's been a change of command.

Just as nerdy I suppose to some!

Ah, election nights. I prefer hitting the sack and being greeted with the news by Today on Radio 4 the next morning. My local constituency never declares until after 5ish anyhow. It's also a safe labour seat, so any sense of excitment is diminished by the fact it's a certainy Labour will get it. The local elections are far more interesting.

we've done the LOTR trilogy a couple times...usually starting sunday morning and watching it all day...it is very long but really is quite the experience watching it back to back

Perhaps watching it on a Sunday would have been more sensible. It takes me days to recover from a late night. No longer the spring chicken I like to think I am.

I've never done it. I'm not sure exactly why. I believe I should...
