I have such devoted fans. Tyler here decided he was going to be coo like me and do a marathon. Let’s all cheer him on.

” … almost 45% of all teenagers and young adults are infected with at least one STD by their mid-twenties … while condom usage has increased most among teens, STDs have also increased most
among teens. If condoms were effective against STDs, the increase in condom usage would correlate to a decrease in STDs overall-which is not the case.”

In logic this is called a positive correlation. Condoms go up. STDs go up.

Merry Christmas.

“‘Well, I’m back,’ he said”

I’m done. Took me 28 hours and 43 minutes. Don’t have an exact page count, but it’s over 1,000. I’m really tired. Must find dinner. Such a gut wrenching ending.

Thanks for sticking with me.

“I have come, ” he said. “But I do not choose now to do what I came to do. I will not do this deed. The Ring is mine!” Pg. 223 ROTK

27 hours and 10mins after starting the ring is destroyed. Now to finish the last bits …

Nearly 27hrs in. Starting chapter 3 “Mount Doom”

Oh I’m tired. Every position I sit in hurts ….

“Few other griefs amid the ill chances of this world have more bitterness and shame for a man’s heart than to behold the love of a lday so fair and brave that cannot be returned.” Said of Eowyn by Aragorn.

Just finished book 5. Starting book 6. Page 173 out of 302. Almost … there … !!
The Mouth of Sauron better be in the Extended ROTK DVD. Totally changes that whole battle.

Arise, arise, Riders of Theoden!
Fell deeds awaken: fire and slaughter!
spear shall be shaken, shield be splintered,
a sword-day, a red day, ere the sun rises!
Ride now, ride now! Ride to Gondor!

… And straightway all the horns in the host were lifted up in music, and the blowing of the horns of Rohan in that hour was like a storm upon the plain and a thunder in the mountins.
pg. 112 ROTK

Over 24 hours. My stop watch just looped over. 180 pages left. Courage! The end is near.

Onwards to ROTK!! Whoohoo

“He turned his dark eyes on Gandalf, and now Pippin saw a likeness between the two, and he felt the strain betwen them, almost as if she saw a line of smouldering fire, drawn from eye to eye, that might sundely burst into flame.”
“Denethor looked indeed much more like a great wizard than Gandalf did, more kingly, beautiful, and powerful; and older.”

Ok, so my mind is made up. Denethor is the worst butchered character in PJ’s movies. Ahrg. I hate it. Tolkien described Denethor as more kingly and powerful than Theoden. On par with Gandalf. WHERE IS THAT IN THE MOVIE???

21 hours and counting. Page 28 of ROTK (started at 19) 274 pages to go!

“The bubbling hiss drew nearer, and there was a creaking as of some great jointed thing that moved with slow purpose in the dark. A reek came on before it. “Master, master!” Cried Sam, and life and urgency came back into his voice “The Lady’s gift! The start-glass!”"
