Free samples!

I went grocery shopping this morning. I have decided I should do all my grocery shopping on Saturday mornings henceforth, because it was a sample BONANZA.

They had sample hummus with pine nuts on top. Two kinds of sample cheese: Swiss, and cheddar with chipotle seasoning. And - and! - full-size sample cupcakes!!!

Chocolate, filled with caramel, with chocolate icing swirled with cream cheese. Om nom nom!

Also I finally saw Iron Man last night! I find most of the Marvel movies strangely underwhelming if very pretty, but nonetheless I feel that I have accomplished an important milestone in movie-watching. Perhaps we will watch Iron Man II and Avengers in time to see the second Thor in theaters!

Although I'm not holding my breath. It took us six months of concerted effort to see Iron Man.

Strangely, no one has insisted that we have to watch The Incredible Hulk. I think it might be something to do with the general unattractiveness of giant green ragemonsters.

You should watch it. Even though it's a different actor, it is a continuation of the same Bruce Banner storyline in Avengers. The character you see in Avengers will make a lot more sense with the context of that movie.

Also, Liv Tyler as Betty Ross is AMAZING. I am a fan, and this is my favorite role I've ever seen her play. Betty, as written in the script, is everything I could want in a female character: smart, brave, kind, kickass. But Liv just takes it over the top, and portrays her with such compassion.
