Strange but not a stranger

Decide I can’t wait for coffee until the whole pot is done brewing and put my coffee cup between the brewer and the carafe to catch the first coffee that comes out. Even after a full creamer it’s still mud-brown and halfway through the cup I feel I may be having a stroke.

And yes, of course I’m going to finish it.

How you anatomy is better than how I anatomy.

I just keep staring at his right arm and thinking, “What is that attached to?  It is certainly not, as one might expect and indeed hope, the pectoral girdle.  Also did Loki steal his elbow?  Because it is clearly missing.”

People would be way easier to draw if they didn’t have arms.  Or feet.  Or boobs.  Or faces.  Basically people would be way easier to draw if they were cylinders.

So here’s my question.  There’s going to be a Thor 2, a Captain America 2, an Iron Man 3, and maybe even Hulk or S.H.I.E.L.D. films if we’re lucky.  What is the excuse going to be for why, when Villain X starts raising hell, they don’t, you know.  Round up the posse?  Suggestions:

• Thor fails to hear the phone ringing over the sound of his hair dryer.
• Clint just didn’t want to spring for a plan that included texting.
• Steve doesn’t actually know what any of the buttons on his cell phone do, but won’t admit it to anyone.
• Natasha’s interrogation subjects have stopped letting her use their phones because they are running out of minutes this month.
• Of course poor Bruce has lost way too many cell phones when hulking out of a pair of jeans to bother with the things any more.
• And out of necessity, Tony’s email account is now set up to delete and auto-reply to any messages from Steve with pertinent links to Wikipedia and snopes.com.

For dinner: junk food and beer

On the TV machine: Captain America and Fright Night

To do: be a giant slob
