The Ultimate Couch Potato Experience

Tomorrow, my daughter and I are finally doing something we've talked about for years. At 11AM, we'll be set up in front of the 40" high-def TV, among the surround-sound speakers, with a cooler of drinks and a good supply of various snacks at hand, and press play on the DVD player. Over the next 10-11 hours, we will watch, in one continuous, eye-popping, atrophy-inducing viewing, all three of the extended editions of The Lord of the Rings.

I've been postponing this day for various reasons, the biggest being that I wanted the new TV. That having been acquired a few months ago, I postponed the event to give us even more distance from the films. Now it's been well over a year since we've seen them and boy am I ready. A few friends will hopefully be joining us. I can't wait.

It should be glorious.

I've been wanting to do the same thing. Just haven't had time.

I'll post an after action report next week when I get back from Euro Quest.
