And on the other side it says, "Boys"

I'm currently packing for my trip to Michigan and listening to that Matthew Goode interview again. Mix the British accent with intelligent amazingness and I am just gone, geez. ♥____♥ "And yet Adrian's this villain! It's remarkable to me!" He loves this character so much, it's amazing.

I feel like a total idjit for a couple reasons. I have a flight to Michigan tomorrow out of Baltimore, which is an almost 2 hour drive away. But there's an airport less than an hour north of here that I completely forgot about. *FACEPALM* Whoops. Ha. (It's a quite small one so I didn't even really consider it as an option.) Also, I have an essay due tomorrow and I was just a total slacker all week then ended up writing it entirely tonight. I think it's a little crappy, but at this point, I don't care. Whatever, I'm a senior!

I really hope my Michigan visit goes well! I'm a little nervous but mostly excited and optimistic.

Most of what I did this week instead of writing my paper was flail around the internets about Adrian Veidt :D It appears there's a rather large cadre of people out there who are just as invested in his FIERCENESS as I am, heee. It's so much fun. If you need some lolz I suggest a peek at ontd_ozy. Hi-larious.

Also, things like this are keeping me most entertained:


"Dan. Grow up." WHILE HE'S PULLING A BULLET OUT OF HIS PALM. That, my friends, is badassery to the extreme.

I have some new Watchmen friends around the place from a friending meme! *waves* Hallo there!

Oh oh, my favorite piece of Watchmen media that *isn't* solely Adrian (I have been looking at some!) is this fucking awesome fan-made trailer set to N.E.R.D.'s "Rockstar". It's just edited SO WELL. I've watched it like ten times.

My favorite sequence is at ~00:12, where Eddie flies out the window in slow-mo, cutting to Nite Owl landing in a swoosh of his cape, and finally cutting to lightning flashing on Rorschach silhouetted through a broken fence. The timing is just so ridiculously on, it gives me chills. Whee!

Ok, I have to wake up in five hours to drive two hours and get on ANOTHER PLANE, so I'm going to say farewell and finish packing. Essential Items include my borrowed copy of Watchmen. I read several pages earlier and I'm finding that the format doesn't bother me nearly as much anymore, when I have voices and people in my head to lock onto. Yay!
