I'm holding off on seeing it until Saturday -- Friday night, some people are coming over and we're marathoning Incredible Hulk, Iron Man 1 and 2, Thor, and Captain America (followed by Free Comic Book Day!). One of my friends is well versed in Marvel Lore, so he'll be educating us in all the background info and mythic nuance of the films as we go, so we'll all be well primed to fully enjoy Avengers... after a bit of sleep Saturday afternoon.

All of which is my SP this weekend.

I have a job interview next Friday - for a position that pays more and is non-exempt (meaning no more unpaid overtime).

Unpaid overtime is very illegal. That shouldn't even be in question unless your employers are a bunch of assholes.

Actually, it's not, if you are an FLSA exempt employee. It's the difference between hourly pay and salary pay.

The Avengers was too awesome for it to be contained in Simple Pleasures, so I created a thread for it here in GC.

Forgot this one the other day...

Watching an impromptu fight break out at the Avengers premiere between a dude dressed as Loki, Cap, Iron Man and Hulk. Wish I could have gotten it on video.

Was it staged or an actual fight between fans of the characters?
