Friday!
This has been a week of long days, trying to finish up on a project that won't die. (Seriously, just when I think it's ready to go live, they keep coming up with new requirements.) I have been looking forward to seeing "Captain America: The Winter Soldier" for months now, so today was extra long. I should be sitting down to see it in a theater sometime tonight. \o/ I have carefully saved off everyone's reaction posts to savor later.
Other things that have been making me happy:
This Honeymaid graham cracker commercial about different kinds of family (a gay couple with a baby, a biracial family, punk rock parents), and the follow-up commercial they made when comments got ugly on the first one, which is one of the most elegant "haters to the left" announcements I've seen.
The new CEO of Mozilla stepping down shortly after taking the position, due to extreme negative reaction to his politics (like donations to Prop 8 in California, supporting gay marriage bans).
I'm not so happy to hear that Chris Evans wants to move on from acting, because I am totally shallow like that. I really like watching him in action! But after the movie immersion and media blitzkrieg for CA:WS, Avengers II, and CA3 that will be his life for the next several years, I can see where he'd want a break.
My birthday was a week ago, and I got a bunch of lovely greetings. (Thank you, everybody!) I took the day off work and gave our TV a long over-due deep clean. It's amazing how much I can get done when I don't have Imperial distractions in my way. I have to take several more vacation days this month before I lose them, so I foresee more cleaning in my future. Child!me would be appalled.
I hope you all are having an enjoyable night with a great weekend ahead of you.
