Damnit! I Still Haven't Seen Watchmen

In case the title wasn't enough of a give-away, I haven't had a chance to see the bloody movie yet, much to my displeasure. I was in Lake Placid last night, and the one movie theater in the area was tiptoeing into the digital era with sufficient trepidation as to neglect to post showtimes online, which hampered my efforts to see the film considerably. The local theater here in Canton may be about the size of my living room, and it doesn't offer online ticketing or anything crazy like that, but at least if you go to movietickets.com you can find showtimes. The Lake Placid theater, I feel a need to reiterate, does not provide this service. I'm frankly baffled by this, and I don't think I'm just being a whiny technology-dependent product of the 90s; having to drive the twenty minutes to the theater just to find out when Watchmen is playing seems grossly gratuitous. Bah. Tomorrow, though, I am DEFINITELY seeing the freakin' thing. Several friends who did see it have reported that while not great by a long shot, the movie certainly does not disappoint. Thank goodness.

- I have discovered the cereal "Reese's Puffs" in the past week, and may have grown addicted.
- Welcome to the world, baby Oliver. Mind if I call you OJ? I'll be seeing you next week, we can discuss the matter more fully then.
- Today was the best day of skiing I've had in some time, and I feel a need to snicker at all of you who had more mundane Saturdays.
- Milk has been showing on campus for free this weekend, and I have not been able to make time to see it. Which is frankly tragic and unforgivable, I know.
- HAPPY (slightly early) BIRTHDAY RYAN!
- My roommate broke his hand on a door while I was in DC. I feel it is important to stress that this happened to my roommate and not I, although it does start to beg the question of if I am contagious.
