Party and Movies

Yesterday was pretty much awesome.  The Packers destroyed the previously-undefeated Texans, but to be honest, I wasn't even paying much attention to the game after a while, since it felt so one-sided and I was surrounded by friends I haven't seen in ages. 

I totally geeked-out on my gifts, too.  A pan to make superhero-shaped mini-cakes, an R2-D2 spatula, a birthday card the recites the Green Lantern Oath (which was probably designed with an elementary school boy in mind...) and the final two Blu-Rays needed to complete my Avengers collection (Iron Man 2 and Thor).  And you know I watch Thor yesterday, and made sure I made it at least through my favorite scene (let's go shirtless superheros!)...

And after the party was over, I got my mom and brother to Wal-mart so I could buy a new SD card for my camera.  My previous SD card was older than my 6-year-old camera, a 128mb hand-me-down from my Mom when she got a new camera for herself.  (They don't even make them that small anymore...)  And before I went to pay, I hunted down the $5 Dive Bin for DVDs.  Sometimes you can find some really good stuff in there; that's how I got Robin Hood: Men in Tights.  It was, hands down, the best Dive Bin ever.  By the time I had 8 DVDs in my hands, I started being selective about which ones I even grabbed for later review.  At the end, there were 11 DVDs that, had they been in any other dive bin, I would have bought, no questions asked.  And that's after I handed 2 to Jake that I thought stood a better chance of making the final cut with him than with me.  But they were all in the same bin on the same day.  I told myself I'd get five, but when I got down to picking out the last one, I couldn't bear to put either of the last two "competitives" back, so I bought six.  I'm calling it my birthday present from my grandmothers.  So, what did I get?  Alien, The Fifth Element, Guess Who, Men in Black and Men in Black 2, and Pride & Prejudice (the 2005 version with Keira Knightley).  And the two Jake got that I would have bought on another day?  Logan's Run and Young Frankenstein. And both of us were dropping a lot of good movies.  I have to find a new place for my video games; my DVD rack is now too full of my DVDs and Blue-Rays to house them anymore...
