Yesterday, amaberis, majenglish, and myself sat down for a day-long marathon of all three Lord of the Rings extended editions. It was glorious in so many different ways: the atmosphere of fangirl love, the random outbursts of singing, the jokes, the food... I love marathon days, I really do. (I may or may not be planning a Harry Potter day. Also a Star Trek TOS ( Read more... )

I've decided to play some old-school Oregon Trail to make my life better. Anyone want to jump on the wagon with me? I can liveblog our progress via comments! IT'LL BE FUN.
