Dryers and Movies

billroperToday's schedule was beaten up considerably by needing a new dryer. My current appliance store of choice is in Downers Grove, so I headed that way to catch them around opening time. I had found a likely looking dryer on line, established with the rep that there was no strong reason to be looking at a different model, and was out in good time with the dryer scheduled to be delivered and installed on Wednesday.
(This evening, I decided to investigate the heat pump alternative dryers that a friend mentioned that don't require venting. It turns out that I could have gotten one of those for about $200 more, but that would have required a 240v outlet that I don't have. Yes, I could get one installed. Eventually. But I would like to be drying clothes *soon*...)
Anyway, Mission Dryer accomplished, I grabbed a quick lunch at Mission BBQ and then headed home, as I had bought tickets for Julie and I to go see "Deadpool and Wolverine" which she badly wants to see so she can talk about it with her friends who have already seen the film. Now, I have not seen any of the Deadpool films, nor have I read the comics, but I *did* know what to expect.
Maybe not that *much* of it, but I knew what to expect.
And it was a fun film. I can only hope that Julie does not already exactly understand large chunks of Deadpool's ranting.
But I enjoyed all the little Easter eggs that were buried within. At least the ones that I caught, and I am good enough on the MU and the MCU in general to have caught most of them.
On the way home, I got to explain to Julie about 20th Century Fox and the X-Men, Fantastic Four, and Wolverine...
