Saw Iron Man on telly - never managed to get round to seeing the other movies (Thor & Captain America). But then I'm not a prolific moviegoer - sat was the 1st time I'd been to the cinema in 3 yrs. They've taken a number of liberties with the origin story - but I remember the original (and the way Marvel (&DC) are these days I've no doubt they've "Re-Imagined" (to use modern parlance) the story a couple of times themselves - before it was reworked to make it cinema friendly). All in all it's an enjoyable couple of hours.

The Carnival in the rain might not have been the best idea - but I can't criticise, I wouldn't like to guess at how many gigs I've gone to feeling under the weather. The thing is events (be they carnivals, festivals, gigs etc) are usually one offs - you can't go "I'll go tomorrow", as you'll miss it. The question is simply was it worth an extra day of feeling crap - and if the answer is yes, Then you were right to go.
