Obligatory Birthday Post
First a huge thank you to you lovely people on my flist for birthday greetings and v-gifts, I love you all *hugs*
Bit of a mixed back this year - went to Wales Comic Con the weekend before my birthday and had a blast - met Anthony Head and Craig Parker, bought a set of Rocky Horror figurines, aeron_lanart was there and, most importantly of all, met the delicious silvercobwebs for the first time and had a lovely time with her (and she gave me a Lego Deadpool, which was possibly the best moment of the weekend).
So, that was awesome.
Birthday was quiet but nice - took the day off work and watched DVDs with my mam and sis - Chuck and Northern Exposure mostly. Got a War Machine bobble-head that made me grin like a loon,and got Avengers Assemble on DVD. And that's where the disappointment began. Disney are complete arses! The DVD has no extras apart from one pathetic five minute featurette - no commentary, no gag reel, and no promised deleted scenes. Worst of all, for some inexplicable reason they've edited out the point of Loki's spear from a certain person's chest - WTF? It hasn't altered the rating at all, so I don't understand why. My only flicker of hope is that it's a plot reason, that they're opening up doubt surrounding that event for his return? (I expect most of you have seen it, but I'm skirting just in case)
Then when I went back to work on Thurs, nobody even bothered to give me a card and I found out I hadn't got the promotion I wanted. So the week started well but ended on a bummer. And then yesterday, Doctor Who happened. harumph.
Ok, so that week's over, next week will be better. *nods*
ETA: Next week WILL be better - Merlin's back!!!
