Being about a month behind everyone else means I finally saw Watchmen last night. We'd planned on seeing Sunshine Cleaning, but downtown ABQ was packed and it took us longer than anticipated to park. I preface this with the fact that I have not read the comic/graphic novel. In short, I liked the premise. I'm trying to keep this spoiler-free for those who haven't seen it, but the overall themes and ballsiness of the ending was interesting.

What I didn't like is that it felt like I was watching Sin City part II. ( Uh, cutting because I got a little spoilery anyway.Collapse ) Anyhow, that was my overall reaction. I'm sure I'll get a tl;dr comment about why I'm interrogating the text from the wrong perspective, and I'm pretty sure I already know who it'll come from. This is me pre-emptively giving you a bitchface through my computer screen.

The house is quiet today. Jason went to see the Trinity site, where they set off the first atomic bomb test. It's only open about two weekends out of the year. I'd planned to go, but upon waking with four hours' sleep, I was very, very dizzy. It's super windy out here today, and in the occurrence this is my inner ears acting up, I didn't want to tempt fate. I slept in instead. And now I'm going to make brunch before settling down to work for the evening. Something with avocados.

I made my first Palimpsest-inspired piece last night. Casimira is done!
