Presidents Daze

The wind picked up a little today and Astoria was brought down to a brisk 30 something.
Did laundry today, and read the Watchmen.

Yes yes I gave into the spell of the black-and-yellow-bound picture book that's been published practically since my birth and ignored until a flashy Hollywood trailer slapped me in the face.

Dear Reader, you are not a tool for not having read this before. I give you permission to read it just because they're making it a movie. And I'm not saying this because it's what I did, either.

While a lot about this story might seem borrowed, I still loved it, for a lot of reasons. I particularly enjoyed the play on the big bad G.I. Joe brute with the Comedian character. The fact that they wrote the character to be actually playing this part ironically made it especially fun. Like a super-Colbert. This was in 1986!

Good fun.
