This has been quite an eventful past few days.

Joe and I saw The Avengers on opening night because that's how dedicated we are. To be frank, when I first heard about The Avengers movie I wasn't that enthusiastic about it. Not to say that I didn't enjoy all the other Marvel movies leading up to it (loved Ironman, all the others were "ok") but the idea of trying to give all those wonderful characters reasonable screen time while tying together a decent plot line seemed... out of reach.

But enough of my terrible misjudgement. After my friends saw the midnight release of The Avengers I heard nothing but great things about it and it was then I became truly intrigued. And it really lived up to all the hype. I felt like the flow from character interaction to plot focus went really well. There was enough friendly banter and action sequences for all the characters and it didn't feel like anyone was left behind. Except maybe Hawkeye. Overall, it was damn near perfect. Cheers Avengers!

In other news, in one day I managed to get blisters on both my heels AND on the balls of my feet all because of a shiny new pair of sandals. I got the heel blisters from the shoes and the blisters on the bottom of my feet from walking around on the pavement because I thought that was a good idea.

In other, other news, the kitchen sink in our apartment backed up with black, putrid smelling water AND THEN erupted with red colored water. Apparently, since we're on the first floor, all the sinks in the three units above us drain through one main pipe. So we get all the shit from who ever is dumping what the maintenance guy thought was PAINT. He's just finished up and hopefully this won't happen again but it probably will.

Happy Wednesday everyone!
