Rorschach’s Journal

I love The Watchmen. The graphic novel, the movie, and the Series. Each in their way.

I rented the Ultimate Cut on VUDU. It has the comic within the comic horror story Black something or other. Reminds me of Heavy Metal from 80s.

Ah! Black Freighter! The Director’s Cut is definitely faster paced. This one, Ultimate Cut is closer to source material.

Anyway, back to the movie. I’ve decided to write every day. Something. I won’t share everything, but I’ll try to be more bloggy. I can see comments. I’ll respond to comments and keep them between us, unless we want to share them to stimulate more conversation.

So I’ll share what I’m working on. Or at least what I’m thinking about. October! The BEST time to be a teacher.
