Bowling last night didn't work out; the alley we were going to was closed because they didn't have any electricity, and the other two alleys we tried were closing at midnight... It sucked. Carrie left to join some friends at a bar, and Mollie & I went to Pizza House. She came over after and we talked for awhile and decided we'd see Batman Begins on Thursday. Bowling was rescheduled for right now, but Mollie & Carrie are busy tonight, and I'm oddly exhausted. I could put in an appearance if I tried, but I'm not sure what the point would be.

Jennifer - My Jennifer - is moving to Seattle on Saturday. I've known her for 10 years now. Crazy. I'm giving her my tv, that Mark bought me years ago, that I never used. I'm glad we offered it to her, because we'll get to see her on Saturday for a final goodbye. Of course we'll still visit each other, but it will be different. I'm a little worried for her, and a lot saddened at her leaving. I'm excited for her too though, because this is such a big change for her; it seems like it could be amazing for her. And I want her to be as happy as she can possibly be.

I'm so fricking tired. We saw Batman Begins, and I thought it was ok; Mark thought that much of it was stupid, and Mollie didn't like the movie. I think I'm too hooked on animated Batman to care too much about a live action one that will possibly appear in 3 or 4 movies before the franchise is mothballed again. I think I'm maybe not a superhero movie kind of guy. I didn't love either of the Spider-Mans; they were ok, but I didn't love them the way everyone seems too. I thought Hulk & Daredevil were pathetic. I thought Electra was good (compared to Daredevil - but not much else). I thought Catwoman was a waste of a potentially great series. I enjoyed the first 3 Batman movies, but in retrospect they are more artsy than anything else. The only super-franchise that at all excites me is X-Men, and I'm worried that X3 might suck the life right out of it - even if it will be followed by Wolverine, which seems like it would rock. I'd much rather see a continuation of the DCAU that started with Batman: The Animated Series in 1992 and which continues to this day with Justice League Unlimited; the series has been renewed for 13 more episodes, and even if it's brought back for 13 more (which is what I'm really hoping for) how much longer can it really go on? There's an animated Legion of Superheroes toon on the way, but I'm not certain it will be set in the current universe or be akin to Teen Titans & The Batman - which both fly in the face of the previous series designs & setups. blah. Actually, Teen Titans is ok, but the Batman just sucks.

Alrighty then. I'm really hungery. I haven't had much to eat at all in the last 48 hours so I think I'm gonna eat a bunch of stuff. ;-0)
