( Cut for Watchmen spoilers )

Finished Watchmen today. I'm still kind of like whoa. But I stumbled on this, which is a trailer for an animated movie of the comic within the comic. It's not entirely surprising, given the media blitz surrounding Watchmen, but it's slightly horrifying that someone would choose to bring it to life.

Well, it seems I do still have a home based entirely on the fact that I've not heard otherwise. I've not sought confirmation, nor do I experience any desire to. If they're kicking me out, let them find me and tell me. They know where I live ( Read more... )

I guess this is what I get for not paying attention.

Random but relevant article about Irving

Slightly briefer version: Seems there's this company, McDougal, buying up South Irving to revitalize it. Not really a surprise. In recent years, they've been calling Downtown Irving the Historical District. They built a park a few years back that's ( Read more... )

So the landlord has been busy. There've been some people wandering around the building and things mysteriously getting cleaned. I thought he was -- *gasp* -- doing his job. Apparently not.

It is crack. I'm so addicted it's just silly. Also, I can never think of the word "hoedown" in a non-sexual way. Like "stimulus package."

I got into an argument with a friend today via Yahoo! IM. The specifics are stupid and as such a bit embarrassing, but in general, she was mad at me because I either don't consider ( Read more... )

I went to a Black History Month program today. It was a choir and a theater program from a middle school and a women's gospel group that my mother knows one of the members of. The theater kids did little reenactment skits of Sojourner Truth, Harriet Tubman, Martin Luther King Jr., and Rosa Parks. I cried when the little Obama came out and took ( Read more... )

Seriously, I need some shoulder tier 1 tech support. You know how when your computer stops doing something it's supposed to do and you call tech support and the tier 1 person is there to ask you if you plugged it in? I need someone like that to be here with me and keep me from making stupid mistakes like I already have several times today. Like ( Read more... )
