93 Happy Things
I went out yesterday and took C to see Captain America. I had so-so expectations for this one, as Cap is not my fave Avenger (Tony, Bruce, Natasha, Coulson, everyone else, in that order) but C adores him, he fits her old-fashioned fish-out-of-water perfectly.
It was *awesome*. Note that I can't emphasize that enough. I mean, #3 or 4 of the franchise love. And I am really excited to see how this plays with AoS, which as been given so much shit for not being Marvel-y enough when they've really just had to hold out for this. The tie-in is so perfect and so exciting.

I was totally expecting more Winter Soldier/Bucky, but that has totally ended to be a set-up for the next round, which is great. I had no idea the Hydra stuff was going on at all so it was definitely not what I thought and that is the joy of going in unspoiled. Natasha and Hill were absolutely amazing, and I loved the little bit we got to learn about the Black Widow. WHEN IS HER MOVIE FFS? I also want to see the names of the all the Hydra targets - I saw Tony, obviously, but I'm sure there other names out there we would recognize. Fun for the CGI team!
After we went straight to a friend's karaoke birthday party, where I apparently impressed the bartender with my order (Knob Creek, neat, with a cider back). I blame drinking bourbon neat squarely on Tony Stark and Dean Winchester and all the bad boys I adore. Then I sang Kesha and Foo Fighters and pretty much everything that came up. Which I NEVER do.
It was a good night. Happy things. :D
