I have a lot to get done today.
Saturdays should be "lots to get done" free zones.
Make it so.
Hey, if it means I don't have to read any more, woo and, might I add, a big hoo.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Well, yeah. But my apartment is a mess, my parents are coming tomorrow, I have no clean socks, and two assignments due this week. And plans tonight.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
And plans tonight.
Pot and sex, right.
Huh. I wonder where the word "sexpot" came from.

Pshaw. Parents don't count as guests. They totally get to see their kids' apartments in their natural state. No clean socks means it's time to buy new socks. I can't hand wave the assignments, but yay plans tonight! I love plans!

I have plans! I'm getting together with some TWoPers for wings and Constantine.

Mmm, thanks, kat. Good calls all around. But seriously, my apartment is gross even for me right now, much less parents.

I want to see Constantine as well. I have great Keanu love (excepting when he's horribly miscast as Prince John, but I fault Kenneth Branagh for that) and not being at all familiar with the source material, it looks to be a rollicking fun time rather than a pale imitation of the comic.

I hear you. We'll actually be partners in apartment cleaning today. But there's always the socks. Buy new socks.

You may have a point. The description of Constantine enraged me because it is so unfaithful not only to the letter, but the spirit of the comic. But in all fairness a movie should be judged on it's own terms; I should think about it as a movie whose characters happens to have the same names as characters in a work of literature I enjoy. I guess it does not help me that I have never like Keanu as an actor when he talked - he has great body language, but to me no ability to deliver dialog.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
in all fairness a movie should be judged on it's own terms;
When you're an adaptation, I think the source material is one of those terms, though.

You have point too. I'm easily swayed this morning.
