I saw Watchmen Friday night. Regular theater, not Imax, but I'm seeing it in Imax on the 20th with Lauren so it's quite alright. :3

Actually, I almost didn't see it. I called home after class on Friday, chatted with my mom about... something, I dunno, then asked how much Imax tickets generally are. She asked why I wanted to know, I said I'm seeing it with Lauren during her spring break and was just curious. Mom's all, "Oh, Dad and Adam and Alex and Kevin are seeing it tonight. It's not in Imax though-" and I was all, "WHAT? AND NO ONE INVITED ME?" So I hung up on her and called Dad and asked why he didn't tell me they were seeing Watchmen. He was all, "Oh, but you're always out on Fridays." I was all, "WATCHMEN, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD. I AM PROBABLY THE ONLY PERSON IN THIS FAMILY WHO'S READ THE GRAPHIC NOVEL. YOU CAN'T MAKE SILLY ASSUMPTIONS. D:" Dad says Alex is getting the tickets and he calls him to see if he can get one for me. He can. :) Then Mom picks me up after work, makes us a quick dinner, and we're out of there by 6:00 to see the 7:00 show at Westbury Stadium.

So. The movie. I loved it. Love love love love love. The opening credits were just awesome and stuck with me more than anything else, haha. Bob Dylan certainly helped.

But, yeah, I cannot even begin to describe the awesome. This is definitely one of those movies that's kinder to the people who know the story already, so I enjoyed it very much. I recognized so many panels. <3 Of course, Adam and Kevin didn't like it ("There wasn't enough action, this movie sucks, waaaaah") and their dislike turned me into a Watchmen snob. I CALLED THEM PLEBES, HOLY SHIT.

I have to admit though, by the end it was kinda anticlimactic, but it didn't bother me as much as it bothered Adam and Kevin. I went home very happy. I can't wait to see it again!

Rest of my weekend was chill. Family party on Saturday at Aunt Sue's. Hung out with the adults 'cause Ricky and Kristi and Johnny were all working, haha. Pretty fun, actually.

Today was depressing. :D Mostly because I just hate Sundays in general. You know, you have the rest of the week ahead of you and you have to wake up early and all that the next morning... ugh. Watched "Manos" The Hands of Fate and did Latin homework. :/ Dinner at home, then got back to the dorm and played Tomb Raider: Angel of Darkness before Mass. I HATE THIS GAME. I AM NOT EVEN 15 MINUTES IN AND I HATE IT.

Oh, by the way, I've been ordering a lot of shit, and it all came in. So I have a new MST3K DVD, Repo! on DVD, Susie Q on DVD, an Arsene Lupin book, and a new PS2 controller. Gooood stuff.

So, yeah, gotta dry my hair, then bed. G'night~!
