good lord, virginians are nuts

I'm home! And let me tell you, it feels good to back in Colorado. DC/Virginia is pretty and all, but it's humid there and the restaurants still have smoking sections. Also, hotel beds are uncomfortable, and Virginia drivers seem intent on plowing down pedestrians whether they have the right of way or not. And everyone there goes crazy when it snows, oh my god.

But, I'm back, in the thin air and dry conditions and with my kitties. I'll probably post some of the photos I took tomorrow, though that may wait until Tuesday. My sister's coming into town tomorrow, and we're going to see Watchmen together, so I may be busy tomorrow. She's the one who first got me into the comic, and we promised not to see it without each other.

Also, if you're wondering about that image up at the top of the post? That's a painting by Alex Ross, a FANTASTIC comic artist, who's made some awesome political shirts. I have that on a shirt, which I bought at a tiny comic book store in DC. I think it rocks.
