Noun Used As A Verb, Film At Eleven

Re yuki-onna, talking about how the ending of Watchmen doesn't work for her because she's been "Neuromancered"...WTF does that even mean, exactly? I read Neuromancer, but about a million years ago, and it occurs to me that perhaps it was exactly as not-so-impressive to me, in the end, as Watchmen was to her. But seriously: There's something "innate" in a received-wisdom sense that I'm supposed to be getting from the reference about how best to end a book, right? And...I'm just not gettin' it, sorry.

I should probably be asking her, I suppose, rather than the universe at large. But I get the feeling I'd just get slapped for being dumb, and I'm not all too into that right now.

unlike us (and certain other folks involved in this discussion [kicks Sonya]) that back when Watchmen came out, Cat was in, what, second grade?

I think Cat may be older than I am. I was born in 1981.

Yes, she just turned 30, if memory serves. (Or 29. I'm gonna get beat if it's 29, I know I am...)

My wife was born in 1981! Which actually makes you three years older than I thought you were.

...or have we really known each other that long? My god.

I've got comments from you from 2005.
