MEMORIAL WEEKEND APPROACHETH! You all know what that means.

[omphale23]

So. This year, the annual Memorial Day Game Weekend and Paratrooper Toss is going to be at my place, starting on Saturday and lasting until Monday-ish. I don't have class that weekend, so we can get started whenever on Saturday-although Rockville is having a library sale on Saturday morning, so I'd like to go to that first. That lasts until three,

I own Captain America, so I will plan on bringing that and some booze, along with assorted other stuff. \0/ I'm thinking deviled (which, I'll have you know, autocorrect wanted as DEFILED) eggs, pasta salad and maybe some thing dessertesque if I get ambitious.

Also, do you know when you're thinking of going to the library sale? I'd be interested in going if I can drop my stuff off first, but presumably we can figure that detail out when it gets closer. (I am actually MUCH SADDER than I was expecting about Hatfields and McCoys not starting until Monday. I mean, I've been wanting to do a full Avengers thon for AGES, but H&C looked AWESOMELY bad. Also, Clay says that The Raven isn't worth seeing on the big screen, so I'm content to skip it. AND OMG YAY WE CAN FLAIL ABOUT NYC22 IN THE SAME ROOM, HOW AWESOME IS THAT?)

[omphale23]

Er. You don't need to bring Captain America, since...I typed out the list of movies we have, and that's one of them? (Also, this list is why geeks should not marry geeks. EXACTLY THIS.)

I don't know when I'm going to the sale exactly--I was thinking 10:30 or so, and planning to grab coffee and maybe lunch/ingredients at the farmers' market while I'm there. You're welcome to drop stuff at mine and then head up that morning, if you don't mind walking to the 47 with me? Or, since I don't have class, you could crash at ours Friday night, depending on how much actual free time you have over the weekend. Up to you.

(No Hatfields and McCoys LEGIT MAKES ME SAD. I was planning appropriately trailer trash side dishes! I mean, how am I supposed to represent the sadness of Kenny McLaren's soul via food? NO WAIT. Clearly we must have PAINCAKES and possibly also Luftwaffles, IDEK.)

SHUT YOUR FACE. THAT IS A LIST FILLED WITH BEAUTY AND WONDER. *_______* (Well. I mean I'm possibly still not over my X Last Stand related bitterness, but as long as no one minds my Rogue related ranting, it is a list of things I love! Or. I think I'm ambivalent on Daredevil, because I distinctly remember making out with the guy I dated in hs instead of watching it. Jeff was ... Mildly more interesting? At any rate, I love alomost all the rest of the things on that list I've seen. And I would like to apologize in advance for my flailing if we watch any of the X-Men movies, because FEELINGS. But I want to watch EVERYTHING ON THAT LIST, but also see BATTLESHIP and do paratroopers, so I guess this means we have to prioritize. Curses! WHY ARE DAYS ONLY 24 HOURS LONG?)

I may take you up on the offer to crash at your on Friday, depending upon my work schedule that week - I'll let you know when it gets closer. <3

[omphale23]

*g* We also have Shaft, which I argue belongs in the list but S swears doesn't. Apparently Samuel L. Jackson being cool doesn't count as a superpower? WHATEVER, HE'S WRONG.

And (unrelated) now I deeply, deeply want the GIF where Fury says, "Enough is enough! I have had it with these motherfucking Avengers on this motherfucking Helicarrier!" INDULGE ME, UNIVERSE. GIVE ME THIS AS AN ICON BECAUSE IT REPRESENTS MY FEEEEEEEEELINGS.

Maybe we should just watch the BAD ones? IDEK, THIS IS WAY TOO MUCH PRESSURE. Also, there should be, like, sleep. At some point. Possibly. Or not, whatever. It's the weekend before Reading, so my work week after it is, like, two days long.

BATTLESHIP IS NON-NEGOTIABLE. SORRY, ANY ARGUMENTS AGAINST IT ARE INVALID. I need to know whether it's about aliens, warships, or beach makeouts. Surely it can't be all three, and the previews have been lying to us for six months.

BUT PANCAKES MAY BE A MUST. Possibly while watching NYC22.YOUR IDEAS ARE GOOD IDEAS. Also, how hard is it to make shawarma? I should look into

[sansets]

Samuel L. Jackson being cool doesn't count as a superpower?

OK, YOU KNOW WHAT. YOUR HUSBAND AND I ARE GOING TO HAVE TO HAVE A THROW-DOWN, BECAUSE SAMUEL L. JACKSON IS HIS OWN SUPERPOWER, I DON'T CARE WHAT ANYONE ELSE SAYS. (... I can bring Snakes On A Plane along, if anyone wants to do a Samuel L. Jackson fest. :D?)

Maybe we should just watch the BAD ones?

IF WE DO THAT, BOTH OF THE FANTASTIC FOUR MOVIES ON ARE THE LIST, RIGHT? *_________*

BATTLESHIP IS NON-NEGOTIABLE. SORRY, ANY ARGUMENTS AGAINST IT ARE INVALID.UM DUH. Seriously, if you backed out of seeing it with me, I would come to your house in the dead of night, knock you out with a brick, and carry you to the movie theater myself. :-P (I saw Avengers again with Maria and Laura on Thursday, and there was AN ENTIRELY DIFFERENT BATTLESHIP TRAILER BEFORE IT. tbf, they were still going with the action movie angle, but I SWEAR I haven't seen half of those shots before. Man, this is going to be SO AWESOMELY BAD

[omphale23]

Upon reflection, S has amended his statement to acknowledge that Samuel L. Jackson is badass, but still refuses to admit that Shaft is a superhero. I'm putting my money on you to win the inevitable throwdown, but don't tell him that.

It could be a Samuel L. Jackson/Chris Evans fest? Er. Only not like THAT, except now I'm thinking about it and maybe I do mean like THAT?

My brain, seriously. (STILL. Tony walks in on them having REALLY REALLY INTENSE STARING, and is all, "Hey, guys, Stark sandwich? I bring my own restraints! Also, I have no gag reflex!" To which Steve tilts his head and says, "Oh, then we have something in common," and Tony does a little hand-twirly gesture that means, is that a super-serum thing but he's grinning like a maniac so the bored genius act isn't working at ALL, and Steve rolls his eyes because no, it's a Steve thing, but then he says, "and I can hold my breath for four minutes." And then Fury goes, "Both of you, knees on the deck, NOW

S has amended his statement to acknowledge that Samuel L. Jackson is badass, but still refuses to admit that Shaft is a superhero.

OK THEN. I think that we can settle this without the need for a showdown. \0/ (Which is GOOD, because he could kick my ass physically, AND he holds his liquor better than me, which means that all he'd need to do to win a verbal showdown is make me a drink. /0\)

It could be a Samuel L. Jackson/Chris Evans fest?I APPROVE OF THIS AND I APPROVE OF YOUR ACCIDENTAL 100 WORDS OF FURY/TONY/STEVE. (I don't know that I'd read any MORE than 100 words of that pairing at a time, but the 100 words you just gave me made me lol hard enough that the neighbors heard me, so well done that. :D

[omphale23]

We can have BATTLESHIP AND SHAWARMA, which may be the best combination IN THE ENTIRE WORLD. \0/\o

[sansets]

Two things. First of all, I LOVE EVERYTHING YOUR BRAIN CHOOSES TO BE, PLEASE NEVER STOP COMMENT FICCING AT ME. (Or even real ficcing, because I'm sure I could con enough creativity away from Merlin!Ray to beta such an endeavor. :D?)

And SECONDLY, after rewatching Ghost Protocol, I am bringing it with me for Memorial Day for Clint backstory feeeeeeeeeels. I mean, I'm not saying that we HAVE to watch it, but I AM saying that it is an amazingly acceptable alternative to his comics backstory of being born in the circus and having an evil twin.

[omphale23]

I am resolutely not thinking about the circus thing, because WTF MARVEL.

Also, when you get a chance next week, please listen to Worth Fighting For and validate my Steve/(Bucky)/(Peggy)/(Tony) feelings.

[sansets]

Re: Worth Fighting For: FEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELINGS. I really have no coherent response other than that.

Also, if the invite is still open, I think I will come over to your place tomorrow night so that we can hit the used book sale on Saturday. (Sorry I couldn't get back to you sooner - my boss wasn't sure if she was taking tomorrow off or not.) What time do you want me over there?

[omphale23]

Yeah, FEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELINGS pretty much covers it. *g*

Tomorrow works fine (the house won't be clean, but come on. That was probably not going to happen, even if today hadn't exploded all over me) and S will be home anytime after four, but I don't get home until 8:30 or so.

So let's say, anytime after eight? Or earlier, if you don't mind hanging out and surfing the internet while you wait for me to ride home from work.

[sansets]

I will probably aim to get over to your place about 9ish so that S doesn't feel compelled to stick around the house to let me in if there's things he needs to do. <3

Was there anything else that I'm bringing other than my bit of the food stuff for this weekend, some booze and MI4? Because I feel like I'm packing oddly light this time and I can't figure out WHY.

[omphale23]

Meh, he's not planning on going anywhere (and he's actually done at work at noon, so that had time budgeted in anyhow) but nine is absolutely fine. If you want to avoid walking all the way around the park, send me a text when you're on the 38, and one of us can come meet you with a flashlight.

I don't think there's anything other than food and booze and MI4 needed? I think we've got movies and games covered, and as soon as I figure out where the hell I put the paratroopers, we'll have that as well. They're in a box. Somewhere.

Oh, hey. Clothes would probably be good. I don't think they let people into the Rockville library without clothing on. It's a rule or something.

[sansets]

I will keep that in mind then! I know I'm over here until at least dinner, because I have laundry and other stuff to do around the house. I might head out earlier, but I know I won't get there before 7:30 at the earliest.

Clothes would probably be good. I don't think they let people into the Rockville library without clothing on. It's a rule or something.

GOD. WHY DO THEY GOTTA CRAMP MY STYLE LIKE THAT? :(

[tricksterquinn]

There's also one at Twinbrook! /helpful
