Lol omg Sam you spoiled me for today’s!! ( so far the train and house are my favorites)

Aw no, sorry about that! Well, you still get the pleasure of building it at least. I will try to post in the evening when I post them from now on. 

The train and the house are totally the best so far. I like the fireplace but it was tough to get the flames to stay.

I think you got the best calendar: we have the Star Wars one and the figures are pretty good, but the models require a little squinting (and a good knowledge of cartoons I do not watch) to be recognisable.

I was wondering if I wouldn’t have liked another calendar better because this one seemed a little cheesy, but honestly it’s been SO MUCH FUN so far, and I definitely wouldn’t have understood the Star Wars one as well. I’m really enjoying building these little miniatures and admiring the thought that went into them. It must be a huge challenge to come up with something so evocative using the least possible bricks.

Most Lego sets have an extra couple of pieces - it's usually the smaller pieces that they think most people will lose at some point

They actually have extra pieces because the machines in the warehouse sort them by weight and they round up, essentially.

Just added you so I should be showing now

Agreed. Heck, every Avenger is dangerous. That doesn’t mean they can’t be soft, doesn’t mean they are bad people but they have power. They have the ability to hurt people. And Tony is certainly no exception.

I love soft, fluffy Tony, I really do, but that’s not all that is to him. Tony Stark took down terrorists. Tony Stark built a suit of armour. Tony Stark is not to be fucked with. That he has a heart of gold we all know and love is doesn’t change that.

Didn't he crash through the piano when he tried to land on the roof in the Mark II? (and then crashed all the way down to the workshop and landed on the really, really nice car - which made me cry)

...right yeah. 

No matter what you areI will always be with youDoesn't matter what you do, girlOoh girl, with youNo matter what you doI will always be aroundWon't you tell me what you found, girlOoh girl, want you

Okay this is perfect for Toni and Rhodey.

Like it’s upbeat and heartfelt and I could see them dancing around in the workshop with the bots and Rhodey overly dramatic singing it to her one day when they’re feeling happy and playful and full of light.

What helped me the most with interviews was realising that I’m interviewing them as much as they’re interviewing me. Balanced out the power dynamic (at least in my head) so I’m far more relaxed than I used to be. As for a group interview, try to go for quality not quantity - saying too much that’s meaningless is worse than not saying enough

Unless T'Challa’s doing a “better if I can keep an eye on them/know where they are so they can’t pull any more stupid shit” type thing. Plus I can also see him thinking “if they don’t realise it’s a prison ‘cause there aren’t any bars, maybe this time they’ll stay put”. Plus it might take the UN etc. some time to decide what approach to take with them, where to try them, where to imprison them etc. if they’re with T'Challa retrieving them should be easy

assuming you booked as one flight with multiple connections, theoretically the airline has to get you on the next available flight (and sort out any further connections). If you booked each stage yourself, yeah that could be a pain. Might be worth going to check with a friendly gate agent exactly what they can do to help

I tried to upload a post about my time in New York, because get this.

I had two hours to get to my connection flight in New York. The plane in Phoenix started with two hours later than scheduled. When I arrived in New York I still had two hours to catch my flight to London.

I don’t know how that makes sense, because it’s not the time difference, but I was happy anyway.
