busy little bee
I was on a roll posting for a while. Then I bought a house. It is amazing how much time can be taken up with that. I am finally at a place where I have free time again. All the cups and saucers are washed and put in a place. All the plants are potted and positioned in the right amount of sunshine. The dvd's are organized, but not the cds. Though the books are gloriously shelved. That took quite a bit. I got to take out my HP figurines and place them about. My latest finished project, though, is my American Girl doll Kirsten. She finally got her own table for display. I have her entire collection (minus two dresses I missed) and got her a nice corner to set her pioneer table and read her tiny school books.
So I have been domestically occupied feathering my nest. Well, more constructing it, since it is hardly feathered, but it is stable now. Not much to comment on really. My governor is amusing me, but I roll my eyes at him. Not a big Perry fan. I wish our mayor here could be governor, but then again, he does such a good job in Houston, I wonder if it would translate there. After all, Bush was a good governor here.
But off of politics. I went to see "Watchmen" during spring break. I had to drag Grey there. It was ok. Very dated. The ending had me ranting though. Gee. Giant blue guy, who is really God, got the who world to unite in fear of him. Gee. How very Old Testament of you. Now, you two supposedly smartest-guys-in-the-room, you think that will last? It is such a sophomoric response to the problem. In order for it to work, Dr. Manhattan would have to come back and kill more random people to continue this fear. And it would have to be random so they don't know what the hell he was thinking, and frankly doesn't that sound like God to you? We put the narrative to God, not the other way around really. So this world united in fear somehow does not bicker anymore or anything. We all join hands and create a love train. Coo. Don't kill us big blue god. We'll behave. Stupid.
The rest of the movie was just blah. And not that clever. The charisma of the comedian's actor really is what kept me from not turning full snark in the movie, though Grey and I both laughed when others' didn't. We were both kids during the 80's, so we don't understand how alternative it felt from the 80's. To me, the late 70's and early 80's is a happy time of cartoons and Mr. Roger's neighborhood. I know the history told to me, but it is hard to fight what I felt at that time. I guess it is like the baby boomers with the 50's and 60's. They can't get past their own feelings to see what it truly was like.
So, that is my mind as of late. When not organizing it is still chewing over Watchmen. I went from chewing Twilight to that. Xmen is in a few weeks, so I think I will check that out. Gambit looks rather fetching after all. Oh, and the new HP trailer looks very promising. Also Little Ashes looks to be promising as well. That one will be harder to seek out though.
