Hallowe'en Fun

przedPopping my head up for this year's Hallowe'en festivities.
Ros wanted to carve our two pumpkins herself. She kept one a secret. It turned out to be a Cap shield pumpkin she carved just for her mom. Awwwww.
Ros' costume this year was a Greek goddess. When pressed on which Greek goddess, she finally decided she was Athena. Here she is between the Cap pumpkin and one of our Chinese lions. Ros puts the masks on our lions every Hallowe'en.
And here's the skull pumpkin Ros carved. She's getting pretty good at this pumpkin carving lark.
It's been a bit of a Marvel week in the Zed household. I talked the Sweetie into watching the first Cap with me this weekend. (He's a hardcore Marvel comics fan, but only lukewarm on the movies.) This led to this exchange.
Sweetie: Hey, that's Dum Dum Dugan. I recognize the hat. He's a Howling Commando.
Me: Yeah, all the Howling Commandos are in it. Falsworth, Gabe Jones, Jim Morita.
Sweetie: Wait, you know the names of the Howling Commandos?
Me: Of course. They're important in the whole Cap mythos.
Sweetie: Oh my god, I can't believe you know the names of the Howling Commandos.
Me: Heh.
All that reading a shedload of Stucky fic is paying off if I can match his Marvel geekiness. *g*
Friday, we're going to see the first show of Doctor Strange. (I'm taking the day off. The Sweetie is on his last week off before starting a new job.) This should be interesting. The Sweetie is a huge Strange fan, but can't stand Benedict Cumberbatch. I really want to see it with him because I suspect his head might explode. That, or he'll finally admit Cumberbatch is a good actor. *g*

Date: 2016-11-03 07:57 pm (UTC)I am seeing Dr Strange this weekend, hopefully. Very excited! My only expectation is to see Mads Mikkelsen in THAT eyeliner, so I feel the only way is up! Will be interested to hear what you think.

Even if it ends up being dodgy, it has a heck of a cast. (Chewitel Ejiofor!)
