Thank goodness I can't just sit and watch TV...

I have to be doing something (ie scrapbooking), or I'd never get back 10 hours of my life otherwise known as The Lord of the Rings Trilogy.

I never saw the movies in the theater. I had no desire due to both hype and lack of interest in the books (I attempted to read The Hobbit twice during my life--as both a kid and adult--and could never get through it).

But, we just recently got a new LCD TV (you know, the one with the extra yellow color ) and a new Bluay, so the hubster picks up the Trilogy set.

The first movie was okay, and the third movie was better, but the second movie was a complete waste of time (other than moving the story along). I can't believe people actually paid money to see it in the theater. There was no real beginning or end to it...just a long, long, long "this is what's happening while we wait for the good stuff" insert.

So, I'm thankful that I could just get comfy on the sofa with the laptop and scrap. One of my pages even made GSO blog. Woot!! And Sasha (mom2peanuts) threw my other into the DST GSO. So, maybe long, boring, epic movies are good for mojo.
