I saw the *greatest* movie last night...

Iron Man!!!!!!

Of course, I was a SciFi dweeb, but I never read the comic, knew nothing about it, except for the trailer I watched at work on Friday, which let me to find the website, and watch like 5 different vids about it.

And make me sure I had to see it on Saturday. I can't remember the last time a movie in the theaters did that for me. I mean, I did go see "Mr & Mrs Smith" feeling kind-of that way, but it was more to try not to think about the surgery I was having the next day. And it did it's job.

The SO agreed to go (by text), then committed to other people afterwards, & backed out, so I went alone. And looooooooooooved it!

I love RDJ, and how he's come back. That's the way you do it, when you've made a mash-up of everything (are you listening, LiLo & Brit?). You lay low for a while, work on yourself, and have a fantastic comeback. It lets people forget about what you did wrong, and gives it time for a re-invention of self to be possible and believable.

And if you go, make sure to stick around for the bit after the credits!

*frustrated*

I was repotting plants tonight. Decided to wait for a few weeks on the peppers.

I had two sets of plants starting - mini-tomatoes and bell peppers, each in their own pot. I sewed the seeds, and guess what? Up popped 30+ in each pot!

So today, I planted 13 of the strongest looking tomatoes in long window boxes. And decided to wait on transplanting the peppers until next weekend. But then I went to water the bell pepper pot... and it was gone.

WTF?

I mean, it's a "potted plant", meaning no locomotion, no opposable thumbs...

But it's gone.

The SO doesn't know where it is... at first. Then it comes out.

He dumped it over on it's head. And didn't want to "upset me." So he shoved it back in the pot willie-nillie, put it outside in the wind and the cold...and decided to tell me later, much later.

How much later? However long it took me to notice, I guess.

But it was only a few hours. But by then, they were all bent up and crushed, and dehydrated.

I saved what I thought might even have a ghost of a chance. We'll have to see how it does.

And strange, it was only the Bell Pepper plant (which the SO hates) that was dumped, but none of the tomatoes...
