Two commercials, a car update, and an assembly of Avengers

[thistlechaser]

It's very rare for me to rewind a commercial to watch it again. Never before had I rewound to watch two commercials in one break.

The first one isn't brand new, but I love it. The silliness of it. Having a bear as a mother:

The second was such a wonderful mix of storytelling/reading and scifi; turns out it's a video game commercial:

And on the car/license plate situation: Thankfully I googled further before heading out this morning. Turns out in many states (including California), when selling a used car, the plates stay with it. So it seems like the DMV hasn't updated the paperwork yet.

The dealership (after giving me an hour-long run-around, sending me to various offices in different towns), finally was able to give me a copy of the bill of sale and release of liability forms. The tricky detail here is that the ticket letter said I need a bill of sale with a "DMV seal" on it... I have an appointment at the DMV on Friday. I'd like to just send in these two forms and see if it's good enough, but I probably should go in and see if I can get official copies. :/

Avengers Assemble, a cartoon series based on the movies, premiered last night, and by chance I caught it. I'm so glad I did! I loved it so much. While it wasn't a perfect match for the movie, it was really, really good and it 100% had the spirit of it.

The Stark/Captain America vibes were so strong they likely set off the local seismograph. Clint/Natasha was totally clear as well. Both made me grin from ear to ear!

My dislikes were few. There was no Bruce, only The Hulk, which was a disappointment (though understandable, since they had to make the cartoon simpler). Some of the voices were very different, but again, that's not really surprising.

I can't wait to see more eps!

"... when selling a used car, the plates stay with it."

Wow, way to lead to situations Just Like This, California! Meh. (Glad you've got it sort of mostly under control, but I feh on your behalf.)

Yep. On some message board, someone made a guess at the logic behind it: California has so many cars, and we're up to 7 digit license plates already, that if they issued new plates for old cars, we'd run out even faster. But still, leaving the plates with the car would lead to situations just like this! I could picture worse ones, too. My plates were vanity plates, so easily recognizable as "mine". What if I had some enemy who spotted my old car with those plates and assumed it was still me who owned it?

I think I know what you're going at here, but my first thought was whoa, what kind of enemies has TC made?!

Oh, I have all sorts of enemies. All sorts of enemies.
