Was a slow, relaxing, mostly wasted weekend. Lots of reading, walking and a some chores, not much else.
I did go see Thor on Sunday with Talks to Owls. I enjoyed it thoroughly. My only complaints were that his transformation was a little abrupt and barely shown and I think Alexander Skarsgård should have played Loki to up the eye candy and keep me even more amused. The actor playing Loki was too whiny and not nearly mischievous enough. I feel that Skarsgård could have done a much better job at being trickstery. Overall worth the price of admission though. I forget how much I like going to the movies. I wish the good theater by my house would reopen. Stupid flood damage keeping me from movies for more than a year.

Hi Alex! Glad to have a thin excuse to post a picture of you!
I also read the Hunger Games trilogy. A fast but riveting read. Highly recommended. Like I can’t stop thinking about it and harassing my friends to read it so they will talk to me about it.
And I didn’t touch any of sewing projects I have around the house in various states of doneness, but I did make a little felt book for my embroidery needles out of some scrap denim and silk I had lying around. I’m pretty pleased with it. And Talks to Owls just got me these owl scissors so I’m be all ready to get embroidering!

Hoping you will pencil me in for Green Lantern and X-Men Year 1, too!
