Oh and, Macklemore's other stuff tends to not be all that much like thrift shop. Definitely not as pop-oriented, at the very least. And I love Thrift Shop, but even if you don't, I'd highly recommend looking up some of his other stuff. I think I might post a review of The Heist.
Eh, I don't know if you really need to catch up on Iron Man 2, but it is decent, if a let-down, especially compared to the first one. It was on Netflix when I had it, but that was long ago.
I'm really excited for Into Darkness and Man of Steel as well. Honestly, I think I'm equally excited for all three movies. The nerd stuff released in summer has just been high quality the last few years, so that's what I tend to get excited for.
Goood stuff, really like the "expert Killer Whale" and Zelda stuff, especially.
And I think what Fry is thinking ALL THE TIME.
Good points, although I have a relatively small backlog and a few of those games are either very near to completion (Majora's Mask, Spirit Tracks, basically outside boss door, but want to find rest of the masks in MM) and the others I just don't really want to play that much (Golden Sun)
Have yet to go to a Ren Fest, but a lot of friends do every year. In fact, one of my friends appears to be in a kily in his photos lately himself. Speaking of which, cool sword, Smartcelt. Just don't get hammered and show everyone your ... sword! lol
I should go to one, looks like a lot of fun, but I have a bad habit of half assing costumes.
Only Marvel film I just really didn't like that much at all was Thor; my personal favorite was probably Captain America (outside of Avengers, of course), but Iron Man 2 I enjoyed, but had kind of a meh feeling about when leaving the theater, so I definitely see where you're coming from. 3 looks really good, though.
And I'm excited for Avengers 2, but that's not for two years. I refuse to get hyped for something I must wait that long for. lol
I'm staying positive now, was frustrated this morning for a wasted trip, but slept it off, and hey, a workout I did before that extended nap is making my abs sore, so some good has come today. 
I liked The Hoibbit, I think in part cause I read the book and had my expectations lowered so much by reviews, but whatever I enjoyed it quite a bit.
Those two are high on my radar as well. Now that summer has rolled around, I'll be seeing a lot more movies. Thank God for two dollar ticket theaters I can walk to if I so feel. 
I loved the first Hunger Games, it was a real page turner for me, started reading it the Sunday before the movie came out, simply cause that date was my birthday. Catching Fire was a bit more of a slow burn, and kind of turned me into one of those people yelling at the main character for being an idiot, although of course I had the advantage of dramatic irony.
I heard that Evil Dead remake was pretty good. Shamefully, I did not like the first one when I had it on Netflix, and only just a couple weeks ago got halfway through Evil Dead II at my friend Austin's place. That one I thought was awesome, since it's when they started playing it up for laughs. Didn't find the first one scary, but found what I saw of the second hilarious.
I'm stoked for Iron Man 3 as well.
Socks the Cat is cute. Looks nothing like the one on that book, though. lol
As for National Parks, that's what Google (and I presume whatever made me Google this, maybe it was on Craigslist somehow?) tells me: http://www.nps.gov/findapark/feefreeparks.htm
