Today was a very productive day if I do say so myself. I got up at 10:30, which is not even close to how early I have to get up on Monday, but it's progress. Then I went up to campus and bought most of the books I need and a new backback. New school stuff, yay! Then I sat around for awhile and read a bit of the Italian version of Watchmen that I have. I figured out why I didn't understand a lot of the first page the first time I tried reading it, I never learned the Italian words for 'filth,' 'whore' or 'stomach gash' last year.
Around six I hung out with Davies, and I remembered why I love hanging out with him. We saw the Dark Knight, but before and after the movie all we did was talk. What did we talk about? Our mutual hatred of Twilight, our love of Star Trek, Star Wars, Batman, Patton Oswalt, Brian Posehn, Watchmen, The Beatles, Spaced, Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz, horror movies, Christian Bale, and Russell Crowe. I also recommended stuff for him to listen to and watch like Wilco, American Psycho, QI and Top Gear. And we talked about a bunch of other stuff that I can't quite remember. I love geeking out with him, and I love that when I pointed out that Bruce Wayne totally fell for Harvey Dent, he agreed.
I'm still on a geeking out squee-y high. :D

I decided to search for some Harvey Dent/Bruce Wayne fic because I ship them so hard, and I haven't seen any yet, but I've seen a lot of Joker/Batman fic. I'm not surprised that there's so much Joker/Batman fic out there, I'm just surprised that that ship does not appeal to me at all, even though everything about them should hit my kinks.

Haley, Jaime, Sigrid and I went to see The Dark Knight on IMAX and holy god that was intense. We didn't buy the tickets till the day of, so we had to sit in the front row. I'm sure it would have been better further back, but man, it felt like the characters could jump out of the screen and punch us in the face!
I also saw the Watchmen trailer the second time, and sweet jesus I am excited for that. I've wanted to read that comic for years, but I never found it (I probably could have if I wasn't lazy) and I didn't understand how torrents worked until recently. I downloaded a copy of Watchmen last week and at the moment I'm on chapter 10 and loving it. The trailer was extra awesome this time because I actually know what's going on, and it was on the IMAX screen. It looks like it's going to be really faithful too, so much of that trailer looked exactly like scenes from the comic. I cannot wait until March!
