My mother should be relieved that this how my mid-life crisis is expressing itself. The artist who put this on my arm is Maery Contrary of Montreal.

When I got my LJ account, I thought 15 icons would be more than enough.

But then I saw today's Two Lumps. I need more icon space!

All I can say is this:

DAMN YOU MOUSEME FOR GETTING ME ADDICTED TO TWO LUMPS!

I can so see my own cat (Newton) in both of these cats, but mostly in Snooch.

The only thing I can do now is spread the obsession. If you have cats, you must read this strip.

Argh. As if I had the time to read this strip over the next week. Here's what I've got going:

1. Finish my documentation project by the insane deadline.
2. See Jann Arden in concert Saturday night.
3. See Barenaked Ladies on Monday night.
4. Teach class on Wednesday night.
5. Finish my documentation project by the insane deadline.
6. Accomplish other secret activities on Friday night.

Nicked this one from LightSpeed: Revenge of the Sith from a Japanese perspective.

Georgie Lucas could learn a thing or two here. Maybe the bad translation is a sign of a weak script? Either way, the translation brought more pleasure to me than the original script.

Now if you'll excuse me, I must give first aid to my disheveled hair projection before I get made by the Presbyterian Church.

I wholeheartedly agree with [livejournal.com profile] grrrscary about the new Batman movie: they finally got it right (I went to see it last night with [livejournal.com profile] sarahcarotte. I wasn't too sure about Christian Bale at first (another shortish Batman made me nervous), but he definitely got the whole Bruce Wayne/Batman intensity right. And I would've kept the actor who played Alfred in the other films (<a href="http://www.space-debris.com/bat_gough.jpg">Michael Gough</a>). Casting Michael Caine in the butler's spit-shine shoes was a bit of overkill.

I also agree with [livejournal.com profile] grrrscary about the action scenes being too quick, although having Bats be nothing but a hard-hitting shadow in his first few fight scenes had the right effect. But I would've added an extra 10-15 minutes to the training scenes at the beginning.

In fact, I would've made the whole movie about his training, ending with his first Batty appearance in Gotham. He studied with dozens of masters in various disciplines, so you could have a great film just about that. But if Books are not Movies, then Comic Books really ain't Movies. There's no simple formula to follow when trying transform the printed word to image and sound.

All in all, I'm perfectly willing to forget the first four Batman movies (except for the garish Batman Forever: there are some fine cinematic tributes executed in that film) and embrace Batman Begins. Finally, somebody understands the whole Batman concept (Adam West is NOT to be consulted!).
