It was generally a pretty low-key Memorial Day weekend with a few notable events that should be documented because I haven't posted in six days and my LiveJournal is feeling lonely.
On Saturday, I took my cans to be recycled and reclaim some of my CRV money. I made a whopping $3.12, which I know is bullshit because I had two whole bags of cans.

Looking at the comments of that post about meeting grammargirl was fun. As you and alliterator have met. And I have met persnicketiervm (and you).

About the same as my feelings about it. Fun movie, but not as good as Raiders or Last Crusade. Jury's still out on how it stacks up against Temple of Doom.
(Two days in a row, however, I paid over twenty bucks for dinner, which I don't normally do unless I'm on a business trip. Eating out is expensive! Is this how real people eat?)
People with money, maybe. I can only recall one time in recent memory that I blew that much on a dinner, and I got a hell of a lot of food out of it. I've spent more than that eating out at nice places on a date, but for a casual dinner? Ten bucks, sure, fifteen from time to time (pretty much only when eating out with friends who are better paid than me... left to my own devices I'd eat groceries or from the cheap eateries here in the U-District all the time). But then, I'm a frugal bastard even when I'm not poor.

Another thing we have in common.
Extremely strange looking. But badass.
Yes. And it's like he was born to play Hellboy.
I voted for Indy. Stark may have power armor, but he's never put a Nazi through an airplane propeller.
I thought Iron Man would be the obvious winner since, you know, power armor, but it looks like Indy would find a way to kick his ass anyway.

Don't underestimate the power of the Badass Normal! They are full of surprises.
Rationally, one would probably expect Iron Man to win because of all his advantages, but if comics have taught me anything it's that fights between heroes are largely popularity contests. And only one of these men is played by Harrison Ford. Plus, as eponis noted, he's the master (and namesake) of the Indy Ploy. (Anyway, everybody's beating up Iron Man these days. He's been such a dick of late in comics contiuity that kicking his ass is the current fad among heroes.)

Your food descriptions are always very descriptive. You should become a food critic. Hee!

Bonus points for no vapid Pepper Potts, though.

She was borderline oxygen thief to me, but YMMV.
