Can we say 'in the closet'? Really, the poor girl is there just to rub salt on the wounds. Salt, lemon, and the sauce of chile yahualica my aunt makes.

So, I finished Watchmen. It actually ended up giving me a headache. But no complains here, no. I liked it. I liked the portrayal of the neuroses caused by being a superhero masked vigilante.
I found Rorschach particularly interesting. His very personal brand of grammar, the fact he's a very nasty, self-righteous bastard, his past... Though more than his childhood, the event that made him snap. Really, that was awful. D:
I found Nite Owl II awkwardly cute, along with the Silk Specter. Dr. Manhattan was creepy. Ozymandias... well, he really was smart. Spoilers )

I'm also (slowly) working my way through The Amber Spyglass. I've to say I agree with the people who say Pullman is up there with C.S. Lewis with the 'my ideas on religion. Let me show you them'.
I'm still liking the trilogy, though, and I want to see the movie. Pan's voice in the trailer sounds cute.
