Yesterday was nice.
May. 10th, 2012 02:49 amWe ate at Panda Express, went and saw The Avengers and spent the evening with our friends in that order. It was the first day-long outing we've had in quite a while and I was glad for it.
The Avengers is the kind of movie that just makes me happy, truly a Joss Whedon masterpiece. Our experience was sullied somewhat by a particularly loud and obnoxious audience member who felt the need to cackle like a pack of hyenas every time something even slightly funny happened onscreen (i.e. every 10-15 seconds.) She was also fond of loudly repeating dialogue back at the screen. I won't go into detail but she looked like she was ready to be on Springer. It was sort of an interactive movie experience with us trying not to turn into the Hulk in real life to deal with this woman. I wish we would have gone to a midnight showing on opening night as it would have been quieter.
But it still did not ruin the movie. Nothing could ruin The Avengers.
Our friends made dinner for us and we just had a pleasant night together. I see them for rehearsals but it was nice to go there as a couple.
Last night was topped off by me getting the main verse riff finished on for the song I'm currently writing. It's a very chaotic thrash metal-style song, the kind I didn't think I could figure out how to write. But it's getting easier as I get the hang of it. This must have unblocked my creativity for songwriting since I was finally able to write some more lyrics today.
So it's been a decent couple of days, I guess. I'm grateful.

Think doom metal with lots of lyrical inspiration drawn from gothic horror and occult fiction. There's a hefty thrash influence in the music too though.
