March 8th

Today was the start of my birthday celebration week. I had just finished the graphic novel Watchmen and was excited to go see the movie. Along with Emily, Ben, Kristen, and Soctt, I saw the movie based on the graphic novel. I thought it was excellent- the movie was pretty much shot for shot the same as the novel. The actors casted in the various roles were perfect and what I had imagined and expected. My three favorite characters were Rorschach, Dr. Manhattan, and the Nite Owl. Rorschach was intriguing because he was dark and understood the nature of humans, Dr. Manhattan was cool cause he could make people explode (despite several shots of his blue genitalia), and the Nite Owl had a neat airship called Archie (named after Merlin's owl Archimedes). Afterwards we went to dinner at Bertucci's where I had some good tortellini and chicken. My official birthday is on Wednesday, March 11th so there will be more fun then!
