bouncy9. While I will not say that Joss Whedon is my master now—I remain too critical for that, and still haven't forgiven him for several things—he has made my two favorite theatrical releases of this year, Cabin in the Woods and The Avengers.
8. Although if we don't get another female hero in the sequel, I am going to be one cranky kitty. I knew that would be an issue for me going in; I was not wrong.
7. We're down to three girls on this season of America's Next Top Model, and I don't hate any of them. What? How can this be? I think the world has been intrinsically damaged by the inanity of this season's "US v. UK" concept.
6. You know what's awesome? Disneyland, that's what's awesome. You know what's better? I'm going there in two weeks, with Vixy. Are we now planning to hit every Disney park in the world? Yes. Yes, we are. Next up, Disneyland Paris.
5. Eleven days to Blackout! Who's excited? I'm excited!
4. If you somehow get an early copy, please don't tell me. There's nothing I can do about it, and it'll just raise my blood pressure. But feel free to post a review. Reviews are awesome.
3. You know what makes everything better? Poison dart frickens make everything better. Look at their tiny technicolor deadliness!
2. Jean Grey is still dead.
1. I'm seeing The Devil's Carnival tonight! Yay!
Hope you're all having a great Friday, and are looking forward to an even greater weekend.

Have you done Disneyland before?
Luckily, you are a tourist, so you don't need to fear the Pirates eating you. (Long story short - Disney often gives residents a discount. When they do, the badges show resident and tourist. We are all big JP fans, and recalled the line about when the Pirates breaking down, they don't eat the tourists. This, of course, to our crazy way of thinking, meant that the badges were to distinguish who the Pirates could eat if the ride broke down. I pity the people who shared the boat with us, I really do. They were clearly not JP fans, and they had no clue what we were talking about, nor why we kept laughing hysterically and picking which person we thought we could run faster than).

I really, really think it was overboard for my friend to convince the tourists to exchange a badge with her once it was conceded that we just had to run faster than her. :)
This was also the trip where I provided that rides could not make me sick, because by the end of the night, Space Mountain was empty, one could leave the exit queue, run right through where the line was, and get on again. This means you had to a lap around the mountain to get back to the line entrance. This meant that we kept talking about this was endurance training. (both for the running and the stomach spinning).
Not as good as the night I got free rides on ride on the Ocean City Maryland boardwark because the ride attendent was amused by my (then) fellow high school students paying for my rides in an attempt to get me sick - they ran out of money and he kept increasing the speed. It was a spinning, weaving, spinning ride, and apparently it normally made even the braggarts get dizzy. I think my high pitched manicial laughter probably also had something to do with it - when I ride extremely fast, dizzying (for normal people) rides I tend to laugh like a mad scientist. Endlessly. But Space Mountain nine times in a row before the line started filling up? Awesome.
Sadly, I am capable of getting motion sick on rides now. But I wasn't until about age 30. Seriously, I got sick on a ride once in my life before than, and I had eaten a bad taco (as evidenced by all the others who had eaten the tacos getting sick without being on a ride). It was my mutant power. There were rides I wasn't willing to ride because I can't stand rides that are nothing but a drop, I want speed, I want spinning, and I still rarely get sick.
