Yeah, it needed more character development. I liked the touch about Strange being an obsessive music nut but it felt tossed off and not fully incorporated into the rest of the film.

That's how I felt too. The acting and the story all felt flat, but the visuals were stunning, so it was a shame the rest of the movie wasn't the same quality as the effects.

Oh heck yeah. I'm hanging out here, aren't I?

Really? Why come?

I finally saw Doctor Strange.

Congrats!!

I was out to a long lunch with one of my very best friends, she's like a sister to me. So I'm only just checking in now. Looks like I missed most of the discussions. That seems to be my lot in life around here lately!

That point for the steep dip sounds about right to me.

Oh damn this is a great recommendation. Now I want to run him and put that album on, pronto! It's such a killer album.

I suppose she wasn't "one that got away" but instead just the one girl I dated as a teenager and young adult who I genuinely cared enormously for and still do today. I've actually written about it in this space before, I think, because last year an old friend (who knew her) and I were discussing this person and…

Thanks, friend. We're taking the kids to their toddler soccer class tomorrow morning so, alas, no sleeping in. Sunday's my birthday though, so maybe I can catch a few extra winks then.

That Freedom Fighters mini is gorgeous. I was practically drooling over Acuna's art in that one.

Okay cool. That sounds intriguing. How's the art?

Currently that edge of the universe is the only place I really want to visit when it comes to Marvel! I remember thinking Hulk looked dark and grim from the first issue solicits, so I'm happy to hear nice things happen in the book.

Nah, I can read creepy stuff before bed and not have bad dreams. I haven't felt great all week and work has been stressing me out. That's probably the reason.

Interesting. I'll keep my eyes out for it on Unlimited, or maybe even spring for the first trade if the price is right.

Glad to hear it! My allergies are driving me nuts lately, and then they make my asthma worse so it's a big ol' mess. I'm leaning towards finally doing the allergen immunotherapy. We'll see.

As you can no doubt glean from my avatar, I do love me some Rogue, shugah. I like seeing her in a leadership role in that book. And Deadpool was great! I definitely need to get back to it soon!
