I’ll be honest, I’m one of those guys who had never even heard of this graphic novel until I saw the movie trailer, which probably constitutes me “jumping on the band wagon,” and I’m OK with that. I don’t care, because it is one of the best stories I have ever read, and I’m just glad I found it at all.
Watchmen isn’t like most comic book, super hero stories. It really compares to Christopher Nolan’s most recent adaptions of The Batman series in that it deals deeply with the human emotions and experience. It is very dark. Very real. I guess you can say I have a “thing” for these newer installments of super heros and masked heros stories who have to battle their own inner anguish and turmoil before saving the day. Very Skywalkeresque. Diggin’ it. I think thats all I have to say about that. (haha)
In other news, I got a cat. I realize not everyone likes cats, and we all have our issues with them, but I love them. and my kitty is super krunk. Come to think of it, I think just about every story I have ever heard of some one not liking a cat was because the cat peed on them, or scratched them, or they are just stupid, when dogs do the same thing. Don’t get me wrong, I like dogs. (I guess) just other people’s dogs. Eh, to each his own.

Can one dislike both pets equally for the same reason? I don’t like humans who scratch me, pee on me, pee on my floor, or poop on my floor. Why should I like domesticated pets who do the same thing?

Haha, yea that’s possible. Some, such as yourself, just prefer not to mess with either of them, and that’s cool.
One of the main reasons I like cats so much more than dogs is because they don’t pee and poop all over the place like a dog will.

Well, I’d enter Summer’s house into evidence, but I suppose that’s just part of the loving process.

Well, that is true. Summer’s cats ran a muck in her house. I guess I’m just speaking from personal experience. I have had cats all my life and I can’t remember any time that we really had trouble with them messing up our house.
