The Avengers

The Avengers was awesome, as you've undoubtedly heard already! Great actors, great script with hilarious moments, extraordinary eye candy... It's got all the elements of a blockbuster. How could it not be good?! Stay until the very end of the credits, btw.

There was a lot of discussion afterwards outside the theater about who everyone's favorite Avenger was. Mine will forever be Iron Man.

Bonus at the Alamo Drafthouse- the pre-show clips are SO funny. A bunch of them are Super Cafe episodes with the Avengers characters, from the How It Should Have Ended folks. Ohmigosh, we were all dying. They also have tons of animated, parody endings and bonus scenes for your favorite movies and video games! Here's the HISHE link at YouTube:

Sunday Stealing: The Get Out of Jail Free Meme, Part One

1. When you're home alone, do you still close the door when you use the restroom?
yes

2. If you have to go grocery shopping, would you rather go alone or with someone? 
alone, unless we're brainstorming a party menu or getting stuff for a group-cooked dinner

3. It's your best friend's birthday, would you buy them a gift even though they didn't buy you one for yours?
yes

4. You win the lottery. Lump sum or small payments over a period of time? Why?
Lump sum. Then it's in my control and I can invest it myself.

5. Do you like your music loud or at a reasonable level? 
If I'm just listening for pleasure, I like it pretty loud. If I have it on in the background for something that requires brain power, I turn it down or turn it off.

6. Are you a beach person or a snowy mountain person? 
beach

7. When do you brush your teeth?
morning and night

8. Can you watch scary movies alone?
yes, but I prefer to watch sappy love stories if I'm by myself

9. Soft bed or firm? And in fantasy land, who's in it with you?
Firm! Jeff, of course. :)

10. Would you rather stay home all day, or be out and about?
out and about

11. What's one of your worst memories (that you are comfortable sharing)?
When Lauren was in the hospital last year, with a very severe mouth infection. She was in incredible pain for several days. She was a trooper though!

12. Do you like to keep the peace or be confrontational?
keep the peace

13. Are you more likely to be with a large group of people or a few close friends?
a few close friends

14. What are your plans for October?
Well, we have one Aggie football game. I also have my next dental checkup. Woohoo!

15. If money were not a problem, where would you like to live?
I would live in Hawaii in a great house on a fairly secluded beach, and fly my friends and family out all the time. Most of the places I would like to live actually aren't a money problem.

16. What is your ideal profession?
George Clooney's wardrobe assistant

17. Are you (or were you) close to your Mom and Dad?
Very!

18. What is one fear that you can't seem to overcome?
Heights- like zip lines, skydiving, rappelling and bungee jumping, which seem to be coming up a lot lately. LOL. I don't feel the need to explore it though. Easily avoidable. The one zip line I would like to do is in Haiti on RCCL's private beach. There is a long and fairly slow one that comes out of the trees and goes down to the beach. It looks fun, as long as I could take that first step off the platform.

19. Are you good at math?
Yep.

20. Editor's note. There is no question 20. It is sort of like getting a "Get out of Jail Free" card. We will do 21 to 40 next time. Peace & love!
