HEEE.

Siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiighing with happiness right now because my Captain America Blu-Ray just arrived. Yes, I pre-ordered something that arrived as a present to me even though it's actually my sister's birthday. (She isn't complaining--got a Kindle from me and my other sister and freaked the fuck out about it. Amazon is a many-tentacled gifting octopus.) Yes, this is enough to make me blissful right now. I have the "I am a consumer whore (and how!)" LJ tag for a reason.

And now my pre-Avengers collection of movies in which various Avengers star is complete. I just need to, like, buy a Blu-Ray player to play half of them on so I can get me some special features. I also need to schedule my pre-Avengers Avengers-in-their-own-movies marathon. Which is not a marathon but will be spread out over several weekends because everyone is not me and won't just sit through several hours of movies to see a couple of hot guys with their shirts off for a collective length of a minute. (Everyone should be me, though. I'm fun!)

I'm starting to eye the calendar for next year. The Avengers is the May Movie, which means that I have to get through five movies before the first weekend in May. Since I'm also turning a significantly old age this year, and trying to go to PAX East, and a number of other things will probably come up relating to school, I should probably plan to do these sooner rather than later.

What weekends are people free in January?

Right now I don't think I have anything in January. But I have recently proved how crap I am at managing my own schedule.

Dessoff's going to own me in February, though.

I will be having a joint birthday party with Pooch sometime in January, but I don't yet know which weekend it will be, other than not-the-21st.

But I'm not sure how many movies I'll be able to join you for anyway, THANKS USMLE. Which five are they, again? Iron Man, IM2, Thor, Capt. America, but what's the last?

[kent-allard-jr.livejournal.com]

The I Hulk, I think.

[trinityvixen.livejournal.com]

I will try to schedule at least two in January to accommodate.

That's the first I heard about birthday parties. Well, good to know!

[trinityvixen.livejournal.com]

You are correct, sir, so long as you meant The Incredible Hulk, not Ang Lee's monstrosity. It will be Captain America, Iron Man, The Incredible Hulk, Iron Man 2, and Thor, in that order.

Yes, we sort of made hazy let's-do-January plans and then failed to follow up, which is why there's been no announcin'. We ought to get on that.

I was thinking an early retirement party, since if you add our ages we're pushing 65. :P

1/15 is Jethrien's birthday; we'll probably be doing something around then (it's a Sunday). There's also vague plans for travelling, but assume us free until they become less vague.

Theoretical-chronological order, then?

[trinityvixen.livejournal.com]

Yes. I outlined my reasons for this order before (http://trinityvixen.livejournal.com/789474.html) which was met with fully accurate claims that I had "thought about this too much." Really, though, it makes perfect sense to me.

I have things like traveling to consider, too, for interviews and the like, but nothing picked out as yet. Thank you for reminding me about the wife's birthday. I had thought of that but couldn't remember the exact day. Didn't want to overlap.

[trinityvixen.livejournal.com]

Whoa, never thought of that...

I liked this idea when you mentioned it last time we talked about it.

What do retired people do for fun?

This aside, I think I'm pretty free in January.
