So by NOT bringing it on Wednesday, I do not fall into this trap?
In other news, I started The Watchmen yesterday around 1:30/2:00pm. I just finished it about 5 minutes ago (and in that time, I went to see Coraline with my mom, had a few drinks, and worked all morning from 9am to 12pm). I thought it was really good, but the end seemed sort of anti-climatic....I was expecting Jon to be all hard core in the last few pages.

Yeah, that would have been cool, but it also wouldn't have been Jon. . . . I think. I don't really remember much. Its been at least 5 years since I read Watchmen (I read it at my other house). I contemplated reading it again, but this way there will be more unknowns when I watch the movie.

And for me, I will be able to pick out every glaring little detail they got wrong in the movie!

what if I want to? Also, I guess I have to suck it up and actually read Bridget Jones Diary. *sigh* Stupid popular fiction had to choose something like that. No Stephen King. No Neil Gaiman. No, instead of anything like that, we get to read Bridget Jones Diary, and some things which are arguably NOT popular fiction (Ed Wood's Death of a Tranvestite, I'm looking at you). |

lol, neener neener. Thats what you get for taking a 'read books' class. You are bound to be stuck with a bunch of stuff you wouldn't otherwise touch with a ten foot pole.
. . . .
Isn't Bridget Jones Diary about a girl who is hiding from the nazis? I mean, nazis are awesome, but more as canon fodder.

I think that is The Diary of Anne Frank. Bridgit Jones seems to be a more modern woman. Here's what the back of the book says:
"A dazzling urban satire of modern human relations?
An ironic, tragic insight into the demise of the nuclear family?
Or the confused ramblings of a pissed thirty-something?"

I'd go for the third one. Hmm, but thirty-something what? Holocaust survivor? Cannibal? Q-Tip tester?

I think it's sort of like Kari (my new character). "There's a woman behind you. She looks.....35."

Oh, and I almost forgot. I finished reading Eternals about 15 minutes ago and I loved it. I found Gaimen meshed the Eternals into the rest of the Marvel universe rather well. I loved when Iron Man and they guy-who-grows-big made their appearance near the end and I especially loved when Iron Man told them to register.  |

I think my favourite was when the Celestial is like "What is that?" (meaning Iron Man) "It amuses me"

Thankfully, I have finished Bridget Jones's Diary and will hopefully never have to read it again.
