The Watchmen movie is coming out a lot sooner that I thought. I better find time to go see it next weekend and it better be the best movie I’ve ever seen after the coolness that is the Watchmen graphic novel.

I watched the first episode of Dollhouse on line the other day. Not bad, not bad at all. Still, the concept of the show is that the main character will have a new personality inserted into her nearly every episode and by the end of the adventure she’ll be wiped clean again. That doesn’t leave much room for character development and the greatest aspect of Joss Whedon’s work is his strong sense of characterization. Granted, it allows for a more extensive cast of character personalities, but I don’t know if the Dollhouse is going to recycle the personalities it implants into the main character and even if they do, the appearances of said personalities will probably be sporadic at best. Still, you can rarely judge a show by its first episode, so I’m interested to see where the show goes from here.

Two Friday the Thirteenths in a row. The joys of having a month that is exactly four weeks long. Oh well, I consider Friday the Thirteenth to be slightly more cheerful than Valentine’s Day. Honestly though, I pretty much hate this time of year. Our culture has built up this time to be a wonderful happy time of year and it’s always a disappointment. Sometimes I wish I could hibernate until some better months come around.

I’ve come to the conclusion that I need to yell at people more often. I don’t really yell enough. Other people go into tirades over problems that I let roll off my back. I sort of have a slow-building anger. So when I finally erupt it’s usually pretty powerful and unexpected. And with a recent eruption I’ve come to realize that when I yell at someone I get results. Then again if I yelled at the incompetent on a regular basis they would probably become desensitized to it eventually. Damn the dilemma!

So now I’m settling into a new job. weee. Actually, I kind of like this job. Lord knows that so far it’s better than my last job, but I hate these awkward transition periods. I feel like I’m doing reasonably well so far though.

I’ve been on a Neil Gaiman kick ever since Christmas when my sister gave me a CD with songs based off his work. I read Coraline, Neverwhere, and now I’m working on Stardust. When I finish reading it I’ll have to see about renting the movie and I’ll have to see Coraline when it comes out.

Okay, I’m behind on updating, but it’s not really my fault. Server issues combined with a busy schedule as of late are to blame (at least, that’s how I’m going to rationalize is). Hopefully now things can get back to some semblance of normal.
