Deadpool...Go See It!

Good morning, guys...


So, how many of you went to see the Deadpool movie when it came out last weekend? [I hope you did...it was fantastic!!]

The boyfriend and I went to go see it this past Saturday...if you haven't seen it yet, then you should definitely solidify some plans to do so, ASAP! I'd say that this movie ranks up in my Top 5 favorite comic book movies...aaaaand, I like a lot of comic book movies...so, it's kind of a big deal...[okay, okay...I know my opinion means nothing to most people...but just go see the movie, alright?!]

But, just in case you haven't already heard...or for some reason you don't know much about Deadpool's character...this is not a 'hero' movie that you should be taking your small children to see. Not at all! There's raunchy humor, violence & gore, and boobies. Soooo, yeah...don't bring the little ones.

I'd like to write more about the movie and truly nerd out over the things that I loved about it...but I'm going to refrain! The movie is that good! Go see it!

Monday...

Hey guys...

I hope you all had a fantastic weekend...I had a pretty great one, myself! Didn't really get around to doing anything super exciting [spent most of the weekend on some sort of sinus/cold medicine...hooray for sickness...], but it was a good couple of days, nonetheless.

I don't have a whole lot of time to write out a post right now, so....'quick thoughts' it is!!


- I am super, super excited about the upcoming Deadpool movie! Definitely not going to be a 'superhero' movie that's suitable for kiddies [my kiddo is not happy about this lol]...but the trailers look pretty amazing! I'm so glad that there's going to be a chance for Deadpool to be redeemed, as far as movies are concerned...he wasn't given the attention that he deserved, in my opinion anyway, when he was in whichever X-Men movie...[X-Men:20? 25? There's been so many of them, I can't keep up...] He's a great character with an incredible back-story...can't wait to see how they bring him to life in the movie!

- Speaking of movies, the boyfriend and I went to see The Revenant...aaaaaand, meh. I really wanted to like the movie...really. But, at about the 2-hour mark, I found myself wishing that the movie would end soon. From a cinematic stance, the movie is spectacular! Buuuuut, as a casual moviegoer..../shrug. I wouldn't recommend seeing it in theaters unless you've got 3 hours to kill and you love colonial period movies.

- I've spent a good bit of time playing Mario Kart 8...I like the game, a lot...aaaaand I'm reminded at how not good at the game I am. [/chuckle] My fantastic boyfriend, however, is very good at the game...so, the kiddo gets a kick out of watching me getting the mess beaten out of me. I really don't mind sucking at the game...it warms my 3-sizes too small, grinch-y heart to see how happy playing the game makes my son...and the boyfriend, too. ^_^ [Aaaaaand, there's no revenge as sweet as a spiked blue shell. Just saying!]

- Finally, I'm going to brag on my boyfriend for a little bit...[super sappy subject disclaimer!]

I know that everyone says that their boyfriend/girlfriend/whateverelseticklesyourfancy is the 'best ever'....but my boyfriend really is! He's one of the most kind-hearted and thoughtful people that I've ever met...I would consider myself super-fortunate to have him in my life in any capacity...I mean, even just as a friend, I know he would make my life better. However, I somehow managed to be fortunate enough to have him in my life as more than just a friend...somehow, for whatever reason, this incredible man loves me <3 [Crazy, right?] I could go on forever gushing about how fantastic he is and all the warm fuzzy feelings that he gives daily ^_^

Ummm....well, looks like I've run out of immediate, writable thoughts...will post again soon!

Awesome Comics!

Heya! Hope you guys had a good weekend...

My weekend was very enjoyable! Been spending some much needed time working on the education requirements for completing my Real Estate Appraisal Certification. It requires somewhere in the ballpark of 200 hours...that's a bunch. I've already got a good portion of them completed, so just have to finish them up!

The logo wall is made up
entirely of books!

Saturday evening, I went with a good friend of mine to 2nd and Charles. (I LOVE that place! I wanna set up a little fort made of out of books and live there!) They have tons upon tons of books, both new and used. They've got a massive selection of comics, graphic novels, and manga. They've got new and used movies, new and used cds, and new and used video games, too! They even have a decent-sized selection of vintage video games...I managed to find a good copy of Majora's Mask there once...but it was gone when I went back the next day to pick it up...major bummer. To round out their expansive collection of just about all things awesome, they've got a large selection of t-shirts, random novelties (magnets, keychains, collectible figurines, etc), and vinyl albums. If you have a 2nd and Charles near you and you haven't visited it...what are you waiting for?!? Go! Today! 

Hehehe sorry about the rambling, I get really excited talking about stuff that I love! 

But anyway, at 2nd and Charles yesterday, I found something really, really cool! 

/drool

This is a 001 edition of the Original Sin comic (these comics started coming out earlier this year, in April, I think). It's a variant cover edition with a limited release for the 2014 Comic-Con...and I own one! I know it likely won't have the same value as a 001 edition with whatever the standard release cover was, but I couldn't pass it up! Guys, it's a Comic-Con limited release!

/squee!

Here's another goodie that I picked up at 2nd and Charles: 001 edition of Rocket Raccoon. They also began coming out earlier this year. Variant cover art, limited to 5,000 issues, and only available to purchase at the 2014 Comic-Con. Again, I'm not counting on it being as valuable in the future as the original cover art edition...but it was still way too cool to pass up!



Okay, I've got to go take care of some stuff that actually requires peeling myself away a computer...Hasta!
