Saw HTTYD2 Today

And I got to see it in IMAX, which is the only way you can see those movies for the first time, I swear. The flying scenes were top-notch, and the sense of actually moving through the world was incredible. :D The story held up well enough for me -- it was great to see all these characters again, now five years older (if not always five years wiser). I do wish Astrid had gotten a bit more to do, but that early scene with her and Hiccup bonding was fantastic -- and funny. XD Shipping love right there.

Spoilers to follow, though I'll keep them brief:

Really good day out honestly, though I got nervous briefly when it rained shortly before I was going to leave. Fortunately, it was only a brief shower, and the rest of the day was more sunny than cloudy. Though it's definitely starting to cloud up now -- hopefully if there's any thunderstorms they'll happen overnight. I gotta walk to and from the bus for the rest of the week, after all.

But yeah, nice to get out and about on my own terms again. Had Buncha-Crunch and a cherry Icee at the theater, and I even got into Dave & Buster's for a couple of quick games. They've rearranged again, and Fruit Ninja's been upgraded with some of the powerups and such. Less blades, though -- I can't use my butterfly knife anymore. :( Ah well. Got some tickets, then tried the music stand. Was able to find three songs I wanted, so yay. :) And it was nice to walk to and from the mall, and the house. Ahhh, fresh air.

Unfortunately, the bad thing about movie days is now I'm badly behind on everything. So, allow me to please go take care of all my tags and suchlike! And hopefully get in at least a drabble's worth of writing. . .thinking of something "Pern Crash" related, since I've got dragons on the brain. . .
