I am not normally a 3D fan, because it can sometimes be distracting and annoying. The first time with the guys though I think 3D is the best plan.

My mother's day had been spent doing a big database conversion so far, but brunch and mimosas and Avengers soon.

Captain America was my favorite of the lead-up movies, but I've had fun watching all of them except Iron Man 2.

I think it was mine too, though it's been a long time since I saw the original Iron Man, so that might take the edge if I watched it again.

Cash pointed this out on FB, but I'll share it here. Felicia Day doing a Steampunk photo shoot at Clockwork Couture.

Also, here are the actual pictures from the shoot.

Brenda, I'm mearagirl@yahoo, on fitbit!

Captain America was a little weird for me, because I have a huge crush on Evans due to The Losers but he reminds me a little to much of my grandfather as Cap. [link]

I really enjoyed Thor. It was goofy and fun and totally what you'd expect from a spoiled princeling.

huge whooping cough outbreak: lack of vaccinations combined with lack of funding create a public health crisis.

Yep. Totally and completely predictable.

Haven't seen the Avengers yet, plan to remedy that in less than an hour. Of the pre-movies, I enjoyed them all, but especially Iron Man 1 and Captain America. I liked The Hulk, but it was a different actor so I don't think it counts. I like Thor, but thought it was kind of light weight. Iron Man 2 wasn't bad, just not as good.

I really liked the way Captain America captured the feel of the past. It felt like an old fashioned movie which made his waking up in 20whatever so jarring.

So I just talked to Emmett to encourage him to make pancakes for his mom.

Me: So how's your weekend so far?
Emmett: Pretty good. I was up really late last night so I'm really tired.
Me: Did you and Jake have an all-night gaming session or what?
Emmett: No, we went to a Quinceanera for this girl that Jake knew. And then we stayed after with some folks there.
Me: ::lightbulb going off:: So...did you make out with a girl last night?
Emmett: Yes. Yes, I did.

Emmett: Yes. Yes, I did.

Good for him!

I have spent the last 2 days mainlining all the movies: Iron Man 2, Capt. America, Thor, and Incredible Hulk. I now feel prepared for the Avengers.

I thought Capt. America was boring but pretty. Needed to be shirtless more. Thor was marginally better, and also needed to be shirtless more. I enjoyed Iron Man 2, but I generally like RDJ in everything. I loved the Incredible Hulk.

Good for him!

Really, is there a better place for a 15 y.o. boy to find girls to kiss than at a Quinceanera?
