I saw a spaceship fly by your window, did you see it disappear?

Besides getting a hair cut, this is what I have been up to over the past couple of days.

Re: Iron Man. HELL YEAH. I need to go see that again. That's the most fun I've had at a superhero movie since, er, the first Spider-Man movie. Only magnified TIMES A MILLION, 'KAY. The only thing that irked me was that there were an absurd number of teenagers on dates in the theater and sometime during the first ten minutes this girl in the back row giggles and goes, "Don't touch me there!" out loud and some guy around where I was sitting was like, "SHUT UP." But after that, the Groping Teens either continued to grope silently or just plain watched the movie.

There is no real need to rehash the awesomeness. All I have to say is I would totally bang Tony Stark like a screen door in a hurricane, y'all. SERIOUSLY. Or, well, I might just have a superhero kink. I don't even know. UNF.

I checked The Time Traveler's Wife out from the library on Thursday and I finished it on Friday. Every time Henry met up with his younger self, I was all, "NOOOO! YOU ARE SCREWING WITH THE SPACE/TIME CONTINUUM!" I have seen too many movies, man.

Damn, that book was depressing, and kind of mind-hurting in a way. So time for Henry and people with his condition, as well as for Clare, is on a weirdly fractured loop. Clare's time is linear; Henry's is a series of loops that can be connected (with him meeting his past/future self) or not, and connected with events (the car crash) and people (Clare and Gomez, among a few). It's still mind-boggling to me in a way, with Henry at 28 not knowing who Clare is, but Clare knowing Henry from his future selves having met her, and Henry knowing Clare from the past from having met her at 28 and having her at 20 tell her about their past meetings and what have.

So that means that only on regular time, on a linear time line, Henry can theoretically never die. He's always going to be present in one way or another with Clare or maybe with Alba, and with his family. That too is kind of mind-hurting in a way. What I want to know is how is Alba able to control it? Is it something to do with having an extra X-chromosome? There's a lot of genetic diseases that are generally male-dominant, and that's because of men only having one X chromosome and the disease strikes that, but women have two and therefore have a lesser chance of having that disease--and that's why there are more bubble boys than bubble girls, you know? So is that why Alba survived, because she was a girl, and all of Henry and Clare's miscarriages didn't carry to term because of that?

Wow. That got deep.

And: that song lyric I included in the subject line reminded me of The Time Traveler's Wife so much.

Oh! And I started a new journal too. The black Moleskine I finished was written in over the course of about nine months. Whoa.

That's one of my favorite books. I've only read it through three times because it hurts so much to read. The ending is so tragic. I love it so much though.

Haha, nine months sounds funny.
I immediately think of the gestation period when I hear something took nine months.

That was really nerdy, I apologize.
