Something About Nothing ... #12

[wagman67]

I am REALLY looking forward to GOTG2. BABY GROOT!!!!!

GOTG is one of my favorites, I just can't decide if it because of the story or the music...mix them together and you got the movie of the year. Gonna need an Express Pass for GOTG2!

Really enjoyed Logan. Suicide Squad had great music...story was iffy but fun. It would be hard to imagine how they could have embodied Deadpool from the comics any better than they did with the movie.

Rumors of a Nightwing movie are out and about. WW and JL need to light thinks up for DC.

Yeah, I'm a geek, wanna make somethin' of it?

Tornado and hail activity last night, moderate today, chances of snow have dwindled for tomorrow.

Hope everyone gets off to a good weekend.

What really made the movies for me, GOTG and Deadpool, was the humor. I will never look at Unicorns the same way again... The music in GOTG was fantastic. Hooked on a Feeling has to be one of my favorite 'songs that make me smile.'

I was never a comic book geek growing up.. I read some 'Archie' comics.. but I am really loving most of these super hero movies.. I'm one of the few that enjoyed the first two Fantastic 4 movies - which, of course, might have been the fact that Chris Evans was in them... but I still liked them.

 

[Chuckers]

Me too!! The kids just groan when I want to watch GotG for the 20th time. One of the very few movies I paid to see in theater more than once

I think I read that Disney is turning Epcot's Ellen's Energy ride into a GOTG attraction. I really hope it's a trackless ride with TONS of Baby Groot effects..

 

[Lynne G]

Yep, we are a geek family when it comes to comics. Saw all the comic movies. I really liked Deadpool and when the music started for GOTG, I was like smile. That was a favorite movie too, and very looking forward to round 2. Yep, baby Groot will also bring a smile. I guess next up may be Thor, but Kong is up next, as older kid wants to see it, and well, might as well too.

I'm glad others enjoyed Logan too.

Funny, I wasn't too keen when he played Green Lantern, but Deadpool is so his wheelhouse. That first scene in Logan, with Deadpool in the phone booth, classic and so funny. Waiting to see the 2nd round of that one too.

OOOH losts of snow coming sideways. First small, now big, puffy flakes. Darn, have to scrape my car if I decide to go home. Thankfully, salt mixture on road, so mostly snow on edges of road, grass and trees, and cars. Seems no sound of birds, only traffic. Joy this winter day of March. What March, major snow?? Uh. Come on Spring.. Get movin'. Bitter cold day predicted for the games tomorrow. Winter gear recommended. Another joy.

Storms gone and it lowered our temps to 60 here

Hope all of youse stay warm today!

 

[schumigirl]

Just back in from grocery shopping..........always fun!

Had enough of workmen and quotes for the day.......amazing how sometimes there's thousands of pounds of difference.......not just hundreds!

Need a glass of wine...........it's five o'clock somewhere........oh...wait.......it's five o clock here

 

[Lynne G]

Yay! or maybe not so yay! They actually cancelled the games. Seems single digit wind chill temps and snowy fields do not make a fun time to play. Oh well, that means dance dress shopping. Never can wear something worn before. And no, I am not paying that much for a dress. When proms start next year, will be even more poor. Schumi, did ya save me a glass of wine? I may need it now. (not quite 5 o'clock here, but close enough) LOL

And Mac, I'll take that 60 degree day right now too.

Enjoy the week-end all!

My youngest's first baseball game of his 7th grade year was in weather that was 22 degrees with a 12 mile an hour 'breeze'...most miserable sporting event of my life. They both play football and we haven't even played a football game that cold...yeah, we would, it just that the temps aren't that low during our football season.

So-are your watching "Riverdale"? Not sure there is much connection to comics other than characters names though. Surprisingly engaging show.

Yay to cancelled games? Have fun dress shopping. My oldest DD found online shopping to be surprisingly economical (of course she is super tall so ordering online vs store + altering was cheaper)

AND speaking of geeks...oldest DD called and begged to go Planet Comicon in KC next month. Dr who companion, not to mention Stephen Amell, Felicia Day, another actress from Warehouse 13, and then my favorite-Jason Isaacs-yeah she talked me into going. But she bought the passes and I took care of hotel as I told her I was tapped out for 2 Disney trips (so far), + maintenance on my truck. Also taking the middle kid - she is the illustrator/writer (fan fiction-nearly 85000 reads on her book on wattpad) so we figure she may enjoy the comic book section. Now they are figuring out what to wear vs true cosplay...
and did i mention Jason Isaacs...

I admit, I'm jealous.......... chilly and grey here today..........

[schumigirl]

If I could send you some warm Floridia sun I would

Thanks Robo..........could be doing with it now.......today is another grey grey grey day.......and chilly too.

Monyk............Jason Isaacs...........mmmmmmmmmmm

Hope those with bad weather don't get it too bad..........



Another morning getting quotes for building work...........now to choose who........most of them can't start for a while as they're busy which is a good thing I suppose.......


Not many plans today.......off out this afternoon to get few things for kitchen........looking for new dinner service too......then out tonight for a drink with friends.........Just the village pub, so a five minute walk for us........

Have a good Saturday............

 

[pcstang]

Wow, I'm lost! No idea what or who you all are talking about. What is gotg? Never been in to superheroes or comics. Supposed to be 80 tomorrow. Going to a friends to shoot guns. I eventually need to go pick up my AR-15 I bought 6 months ago.

 

[schumigirl]

Me neither pc.......... those comics passed me by....... Have fun shooting! We would enjoy that........

You missed the bacon!!! All that's left is that lovely aroma that annoys my one vegetarian friend.........well, friend of a friend really.........

I just looked...no bacon in my house. But....we are going to cook up deer sausage and chili today. That meat is good! Have a great Saturday Schumi!

 

[tink1957]

Mmmm bacon...who doesn't like the smell of bacon?

I even like bacon in my drinks...Cowfish has a nice one called Buffaos and Bacon.

Now I have to go fix bacon and eggs for breakfast...

Cold weather is coming again, I think mac's area is expecting a dusting of snow this week

PC, gotg is Guardians of the galaxy.

Hope you all have a wonderful weekend

 

[Lynne G]

Oh weather, you are such a tease. Absolutely beautiful, clear blue sky, and lovely sunrise. Yep, but 12 degrees, and 20 to 30 mph wind. Happily, car has heated seats and cranking. Little one, the other night, when practice was 35 that night, had her seat and air dial on HI.

Hey, PC, I saw ya sneak in that 80 degree weather. Rub it in. LoL

Hey Keisha, see we are sharing that single digit wind chill.

Still watching the nor'easter that may dump double inches of snow on Tuessday. Winter roaring like a lion as Spring starts.

But it is Saturday, and lazy day now. Older one wants breakfast, DH is slow to leave, and little one is still asleep.
Time to start the tea and coffee pot.

Have a great Saturday homies!

Also enjoying the beautiful 80's weather here but closely watching the storm info too. My Air Force son and his best friend from college came home Thursday for a visit. Friend should be fine flying back from Orlando to Atlanta on Tuesday but son is supposed to fly into Dulles that afternoon. Not looking good but don't know when/how to change it - if he leaves Monday that leaves his friend here with us, plus they lose a day of the parks and it looks like the weather will get bad that evening anyway. If he changes the flight to Wed, I'm not sure they will have cleaned up the city/airport enough by then anyway, plus he needs to contact his dog sitter and boss, etc. It's always something.

I know!!! It's bacon.........I have a theory bacon is her weakness.......she has allegedly been spotted in next big town eating a bacon roll.........lol.......I could believe it.......

I missed that drink Vicki...........


Successful afternoon.......new dinner service and few other bits bought today............and a set of 8 new matching mugs.......large and purple! Lovely.......

Having a cuppa.......town was busy!
