This week has gotten oddly busy. The store only scheduled me for Sunday night and Tuesday, so I thought I would have a lot of time to get things done. Except then I ended up doing tax receipts for one of my mother's co-workers. I had been hoping that would only take a day or so but it's definitely going to be at least two. Possibly two and a half to get them ready in envelopes too.

But it is money and that's good, especially since I just paid $180 for a bridesmaid dress. I'm feeling pretty worn out though, especially since I haven't really gotten much sleep this week. I almost wish I could do nothing at all today but it is the day to go over to Jean's.

My copy of The Ultimate Cut of Watchmen arrived yesterday. I'd wanted it for years, since it is the only version of the movie to have the Black Freighter story integrated in the main narrative and interwoven narratives are something I love. So I just watched and it was AMAZING. This is the adaptation that Watchmen deserved ... and I'm not even a huge fan of the book, though I do appreciate it.

I think this cut just made my favourite movies list though. There is just so much that got back in there. Mainly Hollis and just so many character moments and context and all these wonderful things. And yes, I can see how the overall story is definitely clunkier because of it so I understand why stuff was cut. But with this stuff back in there, it went from being a good movie to a great one.

It's also 3 and a half hours long now. But worth ever moment.

The only thing I don't quite love is how intrusive the music is. It's just a weird style thing, though at least it is consistent and the music is great (and some of it was even referenced in the graphic novel so I mind it a bit less).

Haven't watched the special features yet or the Under the Hood thing but I am looking forward to it very much. Yay Watchmen!

(I also got some actual writing done for novel draft 1.5, yay!)
