sleepymaggieIts snowing again. Its snowed everyday for the past week or so. Not really a lot on the ground, because it tends to melt inbetween each snow fall, but pretty good amounts of sleet and ice around, and lots of snow on my car every morning.
Yesterday I read V For Vendetta cover to cover. I generally like Alan Moore's work and this one was pretty amazing. It was philosophical like From Hell, but not as wordy-with-no-action as From Hell. It had similar pessimism to Watchmen, but ended with hope. All around probably my favorite of his stuff so far. I'm glad I read it before the movie comes out next week. I don't really know what to expect from it -- the last Alan Moore book that got turned into a film (From Hell) went through pretty *significant* plot and character changes...like the fat married policeman in the comic who becomes the opium smoking, psychic Johnny Dep in the movie. Yeah. I guess we'll see.
I have a pile of school work to do and really I should go to the library right now. I can't access the databases I need from home and I need to print a bunch of articles. But, gods, its snowing a lot out there. And I really don't want to go out again. Couldn't sleep last night, and then I woke up this morning with just two minutes to get myself to work. So I'm all out of sorts and I really don't want to go out again. I think I'll get done what I can from here.
Besides, procrastination is your friend. Or something.
