Watchmen x 5

Yeah, I watched it again. XD It'll probably be the last time that I'll be able to catch it in theaters; besides, I had a really shitty day and needed a pick-me-up.

The more I see it, the more I love Ozymandias...

Also, when they play the muzak version of "Everybody Wants to Rule the World" by Tears for Fears in the part when Ozy's talking to the captains of industry about Alexander the Great and wanting to conquer the ills that beset mankind? LOLOLOL COMEDY GOLD. I can't keep a straight face thinking about it, much less when I'm actually watching the movie.

I had an hour and a half to kill, so I went to Barnes & Noble again to browse, since we don't really have what I consider to be a "real" bookstore down here. I didn't buy anything, but I found about a dozen books that I'm going to buy eventually. Then I came home and bought Swamp Thing Vol. 1 by Alan Moore. I know that they say you shouldn't judge a book by its cover, but I think the cover art is beautiful. Besides, I haven't read anything by Alan Moore yet that I haven't adored. Sigh. As if my "to read" list isn't totally out of control already! Well, as my mom always said when I was a little kid, "It could be worse. It could be drugs."

And, on the way home, I was bitten by a plotbunny of doom. As if I don't have more than enough of those, too...

Hahaha, I agree. I love his traumatized look when he's introduced to the horrors of bras - I had to make an icon of it!

REPYING TO THIS COMMENT AT THE TIME YOU DID WAS A PERSONAL ATTACK!! I was having a meeting with my Professor and typing away on my keyboard trying to get his bookmarks open without him seeing my other, smuttier book marks and MSN made the "You're got an email!" sound and I think if there was any doubt I was using my computer for non-class related reasons, they all died away.

No, honestly, don't give them your money. Steal things. BARNES AND NOBLES = EL DIABLO. (I lie, I love the damn place...just not when I'm on shift).

I wasn't browsing in class, I was having a one-on-one meeting with my professor and I was browsing to show him my research thus far.

Because you want me to suffer :(

It's an epidemic, I think!

I am having an infestation of plotbunnies over here! If only I could make myself actually write them...

I know I gave the movie a bad review, but this was totally my favorite thing about it.

Hahaha, I love that part the more I think about it. Sad to say, a lot of the people I've talked to didn't get it because they didn't recognize the song. Sigh. These young whippersnappers make me feel old.

Or they just weren't paying close attention. There's plenty to occupy one.
