Feel like Dr. Manhattan

Discovered the Watchmen movie on the flight to NY, then bought the graphic novel at Barnes & Noble, and watched the movie one more time on the flight back to HK.  Perhaps the somber, melancholic mood of the story appealed to me.  These days I feel the occasional, odd detachment from life in general so the one character I most identify with is Dr. Manhattan.

I also feel the need to escape for a while and be alone with my thoughts.  Of course I can’t go to Mars like he does, but a small hut on a deserted beach somewhere feels mighty attractive right now.
