I have watched Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring<\/i> five times this week on digital cable. :D But that\\’s still not close to that of true fans.<\/p>\n
I watched the first movie with intended indifference with my sister\\’s (former) friends in Cupertino. We had arrived late because someone couldn\\’t find the Fremont BART station. Since we were late, we had to sit in the front row. I remember becoming very dizzy during the fight in the Mines of Moria. At one point, I remember thinking when is this going to end?<\/i><\/p>\n
I watched the second movie one day before I left for China. I had watched it with my sister and Lydia in Walnut Creek. In there, I ran into Cliff and friends. Before watching this one, my coworkers had shown me the trailer from apple.com Of course, the trailer used the theme music from Requiem of a Dream…and as a result built up the anticipation. I remember becoming fascinated with the story afterwards that I bought all 3 novels at the airport to read on the flight to Beijing.<\/p>\n
In December, after all my finals were done, I watched the last and final one with Lydia (who had already seen it). My sister had dropped us off while she went to fix her frame. I knew the entire story by heart…and wasn\\’t surprised that they had kept a long ending. It is the way to bid farewell.<\/p>\n
My whole fascination with the triology will be concluded by my purchase of the extended version dvd box set late fall. And perhaps the recitation of lines.<\/p>\n
I know this is just some amusement for myself during my dull summer. There aren\\’t that much things on my to-do list: prepare for my move cross country, spend the $10 amazon gift certificate, change all my online accounts to another e-mail address, sell my futon and bed, sell textbooks…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
