On incompetence:

I love Kris Allen. I hate Kris Allen's management. They are constantly doing things that are just, frankly, counter-productive. They don't sell him well and they don't seem to care.

And now they just let his official website expire: http://www.krisallenofficial.com/

Here's the notice that's up on the site:

You can set that sort of thing up to be paid automatically! That they chose to let it expire (or didn't notice that it was about to) is... yeah. Ugh. It's unprofessional.

Love Kris Allen but, man, I hate his 'people'.

Avengers: questions of continuity

I am trying to decide whether or not to watch Captain America right now. Because I have it but will not be able to get Thor for a while (for various reasons). But Thor happens before Captain America (...in terms of Marvel movies; not in terms of absolute chronology, I assume, unless Thor is also a period piece).

I've been reading fanfic and scans and Thor is a pretty important part of the initial Avengers' team, along with Tony and Steve (and Jan aka The Wasp and Hank aka omg he has a million codenames I can't keep up, neither of whom are appearing in the movies from what I've heard). Plus, I hear good things about the movie.

I guess I'm wondering if anything will get thrown off if I watch Captain America before Thor.

side note: I kinda love the whole numbered-universes thing that Marvel has going on. My favorite Steve/Tony stuff is, I think, the 616-verse stuff, which is the main comicsverse, if I understand correctly. That's the one that had the Civil War and the Confession, yes? Anyway, that one. It squeezes my heart.
