And on the other side it says, "Boys"

I'm currently packing for my trip to Michigan and listening to that Matthew Goode interview again. Mix the British accent with intelligent amazingness and I am just gone, geez. ♥____♥ "And yet Adrian's this villain! It's remarkable to me!" He loves this character so much, it's amazing.

I feel like a total idjit for a couple reasons. I have a flight to Michigan tomorrow out of Baltimore, which is an almost 2 hour drive away. But there's an airport less than an hour north of here that I completely forgot about. *FACEPALM* Whoops. Ha. (It's a quite small one so I didn't even really consider it as an option.) Also, I have an essay due tomorrow and I was just a total slacker all week then ended up writing it entirely tonight. I think it's a little crappy, but at this point, I don't care. Whatever, I'm a senior!

I really hope my Michigan visit goes well! I'm a little nervous but mostly excited and optimistic.

Most of what I did this week instead of writing my paper was flail around the internets about Adrian Veidt :D It appears there's a rather large cadre of people out there who are just as invested in his FIERCENESS as I am, heee. It's so much fun. If you need some lolz I suggest a peek at ontd_ozy. Hi-larious.

Also, things like this are keeping me most entertained:

"Dan. Grow up." WHILE HE'S PULLING A BULLET OUT OF HIS PALM. That, my friends, is badassery to the extreme.

I have some new Watchmen friends around the place from a friending meme! *waves* Hallo there!

Oh oh, my favorite piece of Watchmen media that *isn't* solely Adrian (I have been looking at some!) is this fucking awesome fan-made trailer set to N.E.R.D.'s "Rockstar". It's just edited SO WELL. I've watched it like ten times.

My favorite sequence is at ~00:12, where Eddie flies out the window in slow-mo, cutting to Nite Owl landing in a swoosh of his cape, and finally cutting to lightning flashing on Rorschach silhouetted through a broken fence. The timing is just so ridiculously on, it gives me chills. Whee!

Ok, I have to wake up in five hours to drive two hours and get on ANOTHER PLANE, so I'm going to say farewell and finish packing. Essential Items include my borrowed copy of Watchmen. I read several pages earlier and I'm finding that the format doesn't bother me nearly as much anymore, when I have voices and people in my head to lock onto. Yay!

And feeling good was good enough for me

I have arrived safe and sound in Ann Arbor! I was ushered here in a swank black sedan from a limo service that I shared with a nice girl and my friend Andy, who goes to college with me and is also visiting UM this weekend. The hotel is lovely and classy, complete with old heavy keys for the rooms. The welcome pack is AMAZING - a white tote bag with the classy logo of the program, and inside was a white long sleeved tshirt (also with logo), a fat folder of information, a 1 GB USB KEY (?! seriously! ALSO with logo, of course), and apple juice, Sun Chips, and a Snickers almond bar. AMAZING. :D

So my weekend has started out in style, hee. It doesn't look likely to let up either! I'm excited.

My 6th floor room has a beautiful view across the roofs of Ann Arbor. While not as exciting as Seattle obviously, it's still a beautiful place, filled with incredible old houses and so many trees. It's a familiar sight, since I've been here dozens of times, but I've never paid terribly much attention to the city as a whole, basically going to my uncle's and then leaving. It's very different to look at it through the eyes of a potential resident!

I finished A Storm of Swords on the flight over. OMG. strikesoftly, come flail with me! WITH THE! AND THE! It had been winding down and then the end was a really awesome one-two punch. Actually even more than that. I am so pleased.

I also read more Watchmen and I maybe love it a whole lot. I loved the chapter about how Nite Owl (the original) decided to become a superhero. And Rorschach's journal just makes me chortle. "Possibly homosexual? Must investigate further." Heehee. ♥

Tonight is BSG finale part uno! *flaps* My hotel has Sci Fi so if I'm done with events by that time I'm TOTALLY watching live. Eeeeeeep. On that note, I glimpsed a guy's newspaper on the airplane and it said something about BSG's finale not being the end! Yay movies, or something! \o/ I am so not ready to let go of my Kara.

Andy and I are going to go wander around (it's a beautiful, clear, sunny day) so I'll leave you for now! I'll be back with further updates I'm sure :)
