Noun Used As A Verb, Film At Eleven

[handful_ofdust]

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.

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.
