lisah, I will check with him. He has gone to Tallahassee for the weekend so I'll send him a text. (gives me an excuse to see if he is still sober enough to text)
Can we maybe vote on the whole murdering people issue?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'm not going to not see a movie with Batman in it. That's just how I'm wired. But after Batman Begins, my first reaction was "That-- that's my Batman." And Nolan has been so spot on that the story itself is less important than the fact that that's my Alfred, my Gordon, my everyone. But I do like the stories too. And the Burton work seems campier in reflection.
Jesse, I saw this [link] and thought of you.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Of course you did.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
It's funny to me that I had the same "That's my Batman" reaction when I'm not exactly steeped in Batman mythology. I read Dark Knight a million years ago but other than that I don't read the comics. I watched Adam West and Superfriends as a kid. And that's about it. So I don't know where that sureness that Nolan's Gotham is so right came from, but I've got it.
Burton deserves a lot of credit for making a blockbuster movie that took Batman at all seriously, though. That was huge at the time.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Ok, I'm finished, There's more to do in the kitchen, and stuff on the "could do" list, like putting away laundry and clearing the deck. But all the habitable spaces are sparkly and my office and bedroom will be shut off. After Easter, I'll tackle those spaces.
But right now I'm tired and I'm going to take advantage of my clean empty house for a little introvert time. I'm going to make tea and snuggle the dog and read my library Nook copy of William Gibson's Zero History.

All the women of Wisconsin must be thrilled to be liberated from the oppressive yolk of Big Government.
You guys will pitch in for my bail when I drive down there and kick Scooter in the nuts, right? RIGHT???

Art Crawl!!!
Batman Begins is my Bats too!
Now that I've gotten further into it I'm enjoying my art collection project. (At work.)
I'm watching tv that's been collecting on my tivo, cooking dinner and untangling a skein of yarn.
