Belated Very Happy Birthdays to germaine_pet, lordshiva, diachrony, ladyk8, fenchurche, eurydice72, and Happy Birthday in Advance to flake_sake!

We had a locksmith come in to fix our laundry room door, which had mysteriously decided to lock itself yesterday, trapping a load of wet clothes in the dryer and us out in the hall yanking at the frozen doorknob for, I kid you not, hours on end. The landlord's whole family eventually got in on this action, which could have very easily ended in breaking down the door with a fire ax--that lock was not budging--until Toys came up with the idea of pulling the door hinges and wriggling the door loose that way. And now we have a shiny, new unlocking knob. This, in our house, is what currently counts as drama.

Saw Hellboy 2 the other night. This will probably be a minority opinion, but I was pretty disappointed. ( Spoilers Ahoy for Hellboy, The Brothers Grimm, and Death Race 2000 )

And then, I remember that Iron Man is still playing in theaters, and that I really enjoyed The Incredible Hulk. And that's when things start to look up.

I'm gonna go read some more Doctor Strange now.
