TPBM
Not really. I'm ready for tomorrow. Although, I have a bunch of stuff to do before Saturday night.Lol. Yeah. I barely understood that one, Edward. Although, the whole theater (it wasn't that full) burst into laughter a couple of times (my family included). And the action scenes were amazing! Any movie with Hulk in it is a big screen movie.
TPBM thinks that one of the best parts of the movie was when Thor and Hulk fight. Oh yeah, baby! That was so stinkin' cool!
That was pretty cool, but the absolute best part of the movie was when Loki gets angry with the Hulk."What do you think you're doing, you stupid beast? I am a god! You cannot stand -"
*Hulk smash*
*Loki lies on the ground, utterly stunned*
The theater I was in was rolling with that one.
TPBM ... just broke their pen.
Nope. No pens are breaking over here. LOL! Yes! That was amazing! One of my favorite parts.TPBM hates it when people look over their shoulder while they're at the computer.
Yeah, but people quickly learned that with me and stopped doing it.I like how that a good chunk of the movie was devoted to having the human Avengers show up Loki.
Captain America: Stops him from what should've been the simple murder of an old man.
Black Widow: Tricks him into revealing his plan.
Iron Man: Flat out tells him why he is going to lose even if his plan succeeds (while offering him a drink). "If we can't save the Earth, we can damn well avenge it."
Hawkeye: Fires an arrow intended for Loki's eye. Loki smugly catches it out of the air. The arrow explodes.
Hulk: Smash.
TPBM sets their morning alarm to play a CD.
Ah. Man! I wish I could! That sounds like the coolest alarm ever!Yes. I totally agree. I loved that they did that. Black Widow was amazing and Stark was just funny.
I was a little disappointed that Loki caught the arrow but then it exploded so I was like oh yeah! Go Hawkeye! And Hulk was plain awesome.
TPBM has to wake up at 5:50 tomorrow and should go to sleep.
It's a seventeen-year-old boom box.Well, I should wake up a 0600 and go to sleep. Hmm ...
TPBM wishes they could visit Middle Earth.
Oh man. That would be so cool!TPBM needs to read The Brotherband Chronicles by John Flanagan. I have yet to read the second book in the series.
'Night!
Yes, I definitely need to. My brother just bought the first book yesterday, and he tells me it's really good.TPBM might need to read the Ranger's Apprentice series first, though.
Yeah, maybe. I made fun of those sort of books in one of my stories, noting that they were unusually thick in content and unusually thin in meaning. Since then I've read the The Hunger Games and The Lightning Thief, which have done nothing ti disuade me from that concept.TPBM reads The Dresden Files.
Nope.TPBM has never even heard of The Dresden Files.
Yup. Never heard of them.TPBM loves the Ranger's Apprentice series. They're nothing like The Lightning Thief or The Hunger Games.
Hm... I've barely even started book one, so I can't call the shots on that question.TPBM reads too many books at once.
Yes! I do. Ad it takes me forever to finish them all too.TPBM keeps hearing car doors.
No. Not a single car door all day.TPBM has been so distracted lately, they did not even know today was Mother's Day until this morning, and is now running around trying to throw something together to give their mom.
Nope. I remembered. MwahahahahaTPBM is a little bored and should probably sleep.
No.TPBM cannot imagine going to bed right now.
Oh, I could. HahaTPBM has cold toes.
Kind of.TPBM is enjoying the quiet.
Yes!TPBM is starting to get a headache.
I don't drink mochas.TPBM is so tired.
No... surprisingly. I'm almost always tired, but not today!!! It feels rather nice.TPBM may be fully awake, but is still wearing jammies.
No. It’s daytime here. Before long, though, I’ll be ready to change into a pair of starched-and-ironed, pleated jammies--pin-striped, of course.Oh, I forgot to add the TPBM, who is, uhm, well, wondering why he or she isn’t doing something else.
A little bit. I have a letter to write, but instead I just designed an entire video game in one afternoon.TPBM plays chess.
I won’t ask the obvious question.TPBM doesn’t sleep well when it’s hot.
Not if I’m on the W.S.S. That’s a big part of why the yard needs to be mowed so badly.TPBM want to writes something really dark.
Not really.TPBM has no idea what to write for this week's contest.
I don’t have an idea for the topic Edward posted, but I have an idea for the next best thing.
I thought "Next Best Thing" would create a lot of different stories. Ah, well.So what's the next big thing, M?
Stephanie, I owe you an apology. My reply was what a friend of mine used to call “firing for effect.” When you can’t come up with anything of substance to say, you just pop off, say something dry.This will sound strange to say, but the way I write my stories doesn’t lend itself to tailoring them to topics. On the other hand, having a topic sometimes gets me started where I wouldn’t have otherwise. If things work out right, I’ll come up with something.

Yes
TPBM is watching TV?
No, but I will be later, once the time is upon me.TPBM just finished eating a meal that had chicken as its main protein.
Nope, beefTPBM wants hot apple cider?
Yes.....there is just something about them.TPBm has a twin they can't find?
Actually, pumpkin cheese cake!TPBM is eating ice cream for desert.
sadly no, homemade peanut better cups.TPBM Was drunk last night?
Happily no.TPBM prefers to drink wine rather than hard spirits.
Yes, but not as much as Satisfaction.TPBM likes 'Gotta serve somebody'.
Is that a motto? If it is a motto then yes.TPBM has 11 toes?
It's not a motto and would be a horrible one. It is a truth. But specifically, it is a song. Here's an interesting cover of the Dylan classic: Gotta Sever Somebody.No.
TPBM hasn't listened to many songs by Bob Dylan.
Hahaha sorry Guy, O totally read that as "Got to "Serve" somebody". Still unfarmilliar with Bob Dylan cause I think he is annoying.Um..not really. Got a mad little bro but in a good way.
TPBM is wearing a sweater?
For about 75% of my waking life, but not right now.I'm not a big Dylan fan, either, because he is frequently annoying. However, there are a few of his songs that will quite likely be alive until the planet doesn't exist.
TPBM thinks that Halle Berry is one of the most beautiful woman alive on the planet today. Oh! Right, sorry, that's me.
TPBM thinks that Arnold Schwarzennegger's biography is likely to be a snore.
I don't know, it might be worth listening to if it was read by the author :D That would be funny as hell.TPBM drank a gallon of milk in a day at one point?
LoL! Yes, that would be, and his courtiers all nodding as if being given benediction from a high priest of self-centred success.Well, if you'd written a litre of milk, that would be true. Although I am much more careful about my dairy intake, limiting it to Italian Gelato, goats milk and the odd daub of whipped cream.
TPBM finds eating homemade chocolate chip cookies with milk to be just a hair's breadth away from Heaven on earth.
Hm, I can never sleep. No migraines right now, though.TPBM is being a bad girl and procrastinating her memorization of The Raven, which is due in two weeks.
LOL, no.TPBM is watching depressing movies?

"The Avengers" is why both movies and comic books exist. It's a pagan myth wrapped up in Christian philosophy deliver with a wild ride of fantastic action scenes and laugh-out-loud one liners.
TPBM thinks that explanation was over the top.
