TFW you've read so much fan fiction in a genre that you think that you've seen movies that you haven't. Apparently, I've never actually seen The Avengers.
A man walks down the street in that hat, people know he's not afraid of anything.

You probably heard us discuss all the plot points and performances in pretty close detail as well. Though I don't think my and Plei's endorsements of Steve Rogers' introductory sparring scene could carry the same impact as seeing it with your own eyes...
Today my city held an annual Arts and Eats festival downtown. It was nice seeing so many artists displaying their wares, and I ran into a couple of old friends I hadn't seen in ages. Also, Mom discovered that she really likes falafel pitas (I could have sworn I've gotten some for her before), and made friends with the mama alley cat behind my old apartment building with quickness that frankly astonished me.
Later this afternoon was scary. We had a fire on my block—the cabinetry workshop of a neighbor across the street went up like it was made of matchsticks, accompanied by explosions from what I assume were cans of varnish. At one point it looked like the whole yard was on fire, with the wind blowing toward my house, but thankfully the fire department was really efficient at putting it out.

Oh, yikes, Matt, that is scary. I'm glad, obviously, the fire didn't spread further.
Went with two friends to a place tonight where you can play board/card/whatever games and order food and drink. It was fun, and one of my favorite parts was that you order and pay for dinner and drinks at the bar, they bring it to your numbered table, and, unless you want to run a tab, you don't have to wait for a check or anything. Are you done? You can leave! Love.

I am dogsitting this weekend for my niece's Tiny Dog (tm): he's a very athletic chihuahua/terrier mix we think. Not so well trained, though, and his nails are very long. So he jumps on you constantly and ouch.
Gotta take the dogs for a walk and then go to the gym I guess. Later today I will do my semi-annual Sorting of the Clothes (move the wool into storage and break out the shorts), and make some bread, and do some more homework.

That's a hell of an upside, Dana.
Good in you, Suela. I have to do clothes sorting, too, but I can't convince myself.
Honestly, my spring and summer clothes, for the most part, are super bland and uninspiring, and working from home doesn't help with that. I'd like to downsize while really getting a few things I love a lot. It's a plan. We'll see how it goes.

Must be seen. Is true.
Very glad that the fire department was so good at their job, Matt. Yikes!

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
We stopped by the birthday party for the daughter of friends of ours. Minus Mr. S, but we had been told it was ok for us to come by.(Although it was held 40 minutes from our house, so not "we were in the neighborhood" close.)

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
No clothing sorting chez Zmayhem--rapid turns in the weather mean that everything's in constant rotation because we might need any of it at any time. There are days when wearing a velvet gown is silly, but also days when it isn't, all year long.
ION, I visited with a high school friend, went out and thrifted (fruitlessly) at Goodwill, just like a normal person does, and then sat in a bookstore. Feel very human. I like it.
