How would you like to spend all your waling hours in a darkened movie theater? That is exactly what I did today. I got to the theater at 9:45 in the morning and left at 10:30 in the evening. What could possible hold me there for that long? The Lord of the Rings Trilogy.
About a month before I came to America my nephew wrote to ask me if I wanted to come see the movies with him, his friends and his dad. I loved the movies so thought it would be great.
We had to wait outside in a line to get in the theater. The line went out the door and down the block. Some people were dressed up like characters in the movies, others carried pillows from their beds. It was going to be a long day.
Each movie is over 3 hours long, so we had to plan our bathroom breaks. The management of the theater brought in pizza and hot dogs from outside. It wasn't the most nutritious day of eating....
It was fun to watch the movies in a row, but I had to admit, I fell asleep in the middle of the second one. I still had some jet lag.
When I finally came home that night I found out that the Vikings had lost their last regular season game. Everyone in my family was mad.
