No baby tonight (in my coffee), no baby tonight (in my tea)

Ah yeah, a little malformed quote from The Guess Who for you there.
The baby watch continues; we had a little flurry of activity last night, but things tapered off with the morning sun, strongly suggesting a baby of vampiric origin. Given my looks, I'm thinking Nosferatu, but Toreador or Ventrue would be more to our liking.
Because I had already called in to work to tell them I was taking the day off, Lynn and I decided to see V for Vendetta at the afternoon matinee. Given that Alan Moore has had his name removed from the movie credits (and, in fact, retroactively from any of the work that he did for DC Comics in the past), the movie was better than I expected. Hugo Weaving did a great job with his voice and body to make up for the frozen face; but the deviations from the original story were pretty typical Hollywood meddling, unfortunately. Worth a rental, maybe, but even more worthwhile, buy and read the original V for Vendetta (graphic novel).
Side note: holy crap! I just noticed how much the original issues of V for Vendetta are selling for these days... I have 8 of the 10 original issues stashed away. Comic book guy was on to something...
