Watchmen

I keep thinking that I shouldn't've gone on vacation. I should've stayed home and fucked about with Shabaka and showered her with love, instead of dumping her at my parents' for two weeks. I mean, hey, she was fine when I left, but still. I think that one day I'll be able to go on vacation for long periods of time again, but that is not this day.

If Malachi dies while I'm in Indiana (or shortly thereafter), I don't think I'll ever be able to leave the house again.

BUT. WHAT THIS ENTRY IS REALLY ABOUT. IS THAT I JUST FINISHED READING WATCHMEN. And holy shit. I don't know how I feel about it, no. I still need to read it a couple times and think about it and chew it over. I mean, jesus, they went along with it! And Rorschach... and holy christ.

So, actually, what this entry is about is how I want a fic. And I want this fic to be an Iron Man fic, set either during Civil War or after it. And in this fic, someone comes across Tony Stark reading Watchmen. When they ask what he's doing, he says something like "Learning how to do it right."

Tony Stark could totally be Adrian Veidt.

♥♥♥ I am certain Shabaka felt showered with love for pretty much her entire stay in your care. *reiterates* ilu bb, I'm sorry it still hurts so bad :(

IN OTHER NEWS: I LOL'D SO HARD AT STARKSCAPED VEIDT

I: should actually finish Watchmen even though the coworker who gave it to me is sort of a twat so I have trouble trusting his taste, even when it's for things that are obviously good like Watchmen, y/mfy?

...Well then, let's pretend I never called attention to it. Yes.

Oh bb no. My kitty died a week after I left for uni so I know what you mean but you're not psychic, it's not like you were supposed to just magically know it was going to happen while you were holidaying. ♥

LOL "HOSTILITI". THAT SOUNDS LIKE AN ~EXOTIC~ NAME SOMEONE WOULD GIVE THEIR POOR CHILD.

But I should be psychic damnit >:(

INORITE? I love the parts where the cut off words. It totes took me a good five minutes when I was reading it to figure out that would've been HOSTILITIES.

I realize this isn't at all relevant to the point of the entry, but, where in Indiana are you going?

[identity profile] the-wanlorn.livejournal.com 2008-07-05 06:11 pm (UTC)(link)
I... Huh. I'm not actually sure. I want to say it's near Fort Wayne? (That in Indiana, right?) But that could mean anything up to two hours away from it.

[identity profile] svtdragon.livejournal.com 2008-07-05 07:19 pm (UTC)(link)
XD

Yes, that's in Indiana. Although "two hours away" covers a good radius, it's at least not enough to cover the whole state like it is back hom.

I'm in Indianapolis at the moment. My school's in Terre Haute. It's... very flat out here. And not very entertaining.

Watchmen. Solid. And favorite thing ever.

HEY are you back in Boston? You should come over!

You know Watchmen'll be a movie, right? :3 (I'm sure you do, I'm still in pseudo-skwee about it).

I just finished books one and two of "Top Ten", another Alan Moore creation, and if you need something new, it is hiiiighly recommendified. @_@

[identity profile] the-wanlorn.livejournal.com 2008-07-05 06:12 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah! I'm kind of wondering how they're going to manage to pull off the ending without fucking it up.

What's Top Ten about?
