the avengers

i saw 'the avengers.' i liked it, but honestly i find today's b-team superheroes lame. superman alone could've beaten loki and his army (and if not he could turn back time and make it so loki was never born). look at wolverine. steel fingers. in my day, the guy with steel fingers was ridiculed and did topiary.

i like iron man, but he's really just a happy batman. captain america reminds me of blue m&ms, which i don't like.

and thor's hammer makes him look ... special.

but i'd still do him.

(note to self: write script asap for hemsworth about a man allergic to shirts.)

disappointing dreams

i've been reading 'rafa' (rafael nadal's autobiography) in bed and then dreaming about him. but the dreams are not the kind you would expect, e.g., rafa and i frolicking in the mediterranean.

no, last night i dreamed i was stalking him disguised as an ewok.

talking to food

my friend from china who is a baker told me that he'd met a chef who talks to his food (e.g., 'don't worry, steak--i'll take you out when you are ready!'). this excited my friend, who also does this.
