A Cheery post for once? I was shocked too...

So the birthday...well...for lack of a better word...blew.  Although I did go out adventuring with Kim the day before.  Holy splurge.  I bought things I definitely do not need, but I'm stoked on the regardless.  New Video Game (Skate 2), Some awesome albums (Thursday, CIV, A Newfound Glory, Bob Dylan), a new backpack, and a massive comic book, which I will get into now.

  Any self-respecting comic book nerd knows Watchmen.  They know it well.  Its the ONLY Graphic novel to ever make the NY Times 100 Best novels of all time list.  And it deserves it.  With that said, I am slightly nervous about the

 movie.  I read online that they changed the ending and we all know that the "visionary" director loves his slow-mo.  So I will definitely be seeing thins in Imax when it is released, but with crossed arms.  Anyway, to brush up and get ready for the movie, I knew I needed to pick up a new copy of the book.  I havent read it in a while, so I definitely need to.  Kim gave me a 40% off coupon for borders, and I knew I would buy it.  Sure enough, right in the middle is a display showing every version of the book imaginable.  I picked up this...

Normally, this thing goes for 75$.  Massive and hardcover and friggen awesome.  Basically, it is the DEFINITIVE version of the comic.  Buy this, and you will never need another version.  I paid 40$.  I am stoked on that price.  And I am stoked to read it again.  It will look awesome next to Calvin & Hobbes.

I may be getting older, but on my birthday I ate pizza, read comics, and played video games.  I asked my mom if she's absolutely sure I am not 12.

So thank you to Everyone who wished me happy birthday.  It really does mean alot.  To those that forgot (Chiara)...you are so beeflisted.
