more avenger feels!; cheap hawkeye costume

Saw Avengers again for the third time tonight. Still amazing!! I think I'm a little worn out on theater showings, so I probably won't see it again until it comes out on Bluray. I believe I saw somewhere that Joss will be putting the extra 30 minutes of footage in the extra features. If so - yay!

Right. So, more spoilery thoughts!

( AVENGERS! I LOVE YOU! I mean... SPOILERS )

Oh man this movie. So much good stuff and I've already forgotten some stuff I wanted to write down. Ahhhh! I need new lj icons and all the toys and things right now!

I'm currently working on a cheap as hell Hawkeye costume. Planning not to spend more than $50 on it and want to have it for Albany ComicCon in June. So far I have a $6 toy bow, pants, boots (from my River costume), and I bought a front zip vest from eBay. I'm hoping it's a fabric that I can just paint the maroon panels on, otherwise I'll have to get fabric to sew or glue on. I want to make the arm guard & glove too. Kind of excited about my not-at-all accurate costume.

• Wed, 14:21: Read the latest Sookie book. I want to continue liking this series... but they're kind of boring. Feel like nothing happened at all.

• Wed, 21:39: Yeah, #Avengers holds up after a third showing. Funny still funny, drama still dramatic. Extra extra scene still cool.
• Thu, 00:24: #TheFinder is canceled? It was finally starting to grow on me & I was able to enjoy it as its own show & not a spin-off. How disappointing.

• Thu, 11:36: So apparently there is a thing at the end of #Avengers that I missed even through 3 viewings. I.. .can't see it again. Can I? D:
