Avengnerds

"And there came a day, a day unlike any other... when Earth's mightiest heroes found themselves united against a common threat... to fight the foes no single superhero could withstand... on that day, The Avengers were born.  " - Fury

 "I thought we were having a moment."
"I was having 12% of a moment."  - Stark and Pots

"His first name is Agent!" - Stark

"What's the matter, scared of a little lightning?" 
"I'm not overly fond of what follows." - Stark and Loki
 [By the way, once the lightning started, I knew exactly who was coming, and I became incredibly excited.  Thor is my favorite. :)]

"There is only one God, and I'm pretty sure he doesn't dress like either of them."  - Captain America

"No hard feelings Point Break, you've got a mean swing." - Stark

"Dr. Banner, your work is unparalleled. And I'm a huge fan of the way you lose control and turn into an enormous green rage monster."- Stark

"He's my brother."
"He killed 80 people in two days."
"...he's adopted." - Thor and Widow

"You people are so petty... and tiny."  - Thor

"There is no throne, there is no version of this where you come out on top! Maybe your army will come, maybe it's too much for us, but it's all on you! Because, if we can't protect the Earth, you can be da[rn] sure we'll avenge it!" - Stark

"I have an army."
"We have a Hulk" - Loki and Stark

"Stark, we need a plan of attack!"
"I have a plan - attack!" - Captain and Stark

"Let's go, Legolas."  - Stark

"Doc... I think now is the perfect time for you to get angry."
"That's my secret Cap, I'm always angry."- Captain and Banner

"...and Hulk? - Smash."  - Captain America


"Guys, I'm bringing the party to you!"
"...I don't see how that's a party."  - Stark and Widow

"I am a god! I am not going to be bullied by a - "
**SMASH FLAIL WHIP POUND SMASH**
"Puny god." - Loki and Hulk

"What happened?  Please tell me nobody kissed me."
"We won."
"Oh, good." - Stark and Captain

AVENGERS is now my favorite movie.  Wow, it's so good.  The dialogue, as is illustrated above, is incredibly clever and quite hilarious; the actors were absolutely amazing; and each hero got a substantial amount of face-time.  It was so very well done, and I Loved it Loved it Loved it.

Oh, and the best way to watch a superhero movie is with a bunch of nerds who Love it just as much or more than you do.  Why?  There is a wave of anticipation when a new hero is about to be introduced, and a roar of excitement once they are.  Man that was great.

Until next time!

Wetsock?

You know, it kinda sounds like "what's up?"
Ya ok it's not that funny.

I saw this wet-hair-rolled-in-a-sock idea that's supposed to give you these way cute curls when it dries:

Awesome! So I decided to try it.
I made a little sock-bun

Then I put my hair in it. It looks promising, yes?
.... not exactly what I expected. At all.
It's a wavy, tangly mess.
Well, if I ever need a wavy and unkempt look for some costume or something, here's one way to get it!
I guess I'll style this mess with a curling iron or something.  Another novel styling idea failed. Better luck next time!

Also - AVENGERS TONIGHT! Gosh I'm excited. :)


Pins; made of bottle rings, paper, safety pins, lots of hot glue, and silver paint.
 ...

Also, we're going to Wingers for dinner. :) Yum yum yum.
