Loki also enjoys reading
Yesterday was, thankfully, Friday. It's been quite a week at work!

On Thursday evening I finally saw Thor: The Dark World and loved it. There's just something about those characters and actors - I love them all. Especially Tom Hiddleston's Loki! No surprise there. It seemed the entire theater was really only there for Loki...I counted four Loki shirts, but then, this could have been a Loki lovers meet-up of some sort because there was a lot of people introducing themselves to each other. Plus, I'm pretty sure this was their 6th or 7th viewing of the movie.

I have to say, I love the Iron Man and Avengers and Thor films, but the Captain America movie and storylines (and, let's be honest, actors) bore me to bits.

So, let's put Loki in every movie, shall we? Not just Marvel movies. I mean...every movie. He's just so entertaining! He's like the Justin Timberlake of the character world! That movie I saw last week, About Time, wouldn't it have been fun if Loki just showed up and played some tricks on that time traveling family? Think about it.

Fridays are usually the days I'm most tired, when the last week has culminated in a general fatigue. I met up with Jiscilla for dinner after work and then we proceeded to our favorite guilty pleasure: America's Next Top Model. It was the finale, and we were both rooting for Marvin, me, mainly because he reminds me of my little brother.

**SPOILER ALERT** (even though I know Jiscilla and I are like the last three people who watch this show. I mean, I've watched all 20 cycles. I KNOW THERE ARE 20 CYCLES. I know Tyra calls her seasons CYCLES. The shame! The horror!)

Marvin lost. We were both sad. He did say some endearing things as the loser.

This morning I read for a few hours - still loving S! Later I'm heading to the suburbs for a couple of friends who've moved on from the city life. They've escaped into an area with grass, closets, and general space!

Last night I was supposed to record a podcast with my friend Adam, but that was re-scheduled so all I was left to do was read S, talk to my husband, and have Jiscilla over for the high-minded intellectual viewing of America's Next Top Model (2.0).

First, let's talk about that husband that I miss something fierce. Before he left, we were watching The League one night and he noticed that Andre (Paul Scheer's character) had a dice box just like the one he owned! And if you watch that show, you know you want to own anything that Andre owns!* Anyway, I just found this picture in my phone after talking to him last night... we paused the show so he could his best Andre WITH prop:  


And here is Jesse entertaining me last night all the way from Austin, TX. In the second screenshot, the internet had cut out on the bus so that's what was on my screen for a good three minutes. What a jokester.



*No, you don't.

I'm off to guest-talk about Friday Night Lights for Adam's Nerd Geek Dork podcast! It's a fun 'cast, and I'll tell you how it goes! I will, no doubt, be embarrassing. So much so, that I may not even link the episode when it goes live, so you should probably follow NGD in order to stay on top of Jessica's (Likely) Embarrassing Moment.
