shadowhiveSo this post is probably gonna be all over the place.
First, it’s February 18th which means it’sturps birthday, happy birthday! I hope you’re having an awesome day!
Also fandomtrumpshate and fandomforoz are both live for viewing. I’m not sure if I’ll be bidding on anything yet but my pages are here and here.
Sunday ended up being a lazy day. I stayed in and watched The Simpsons and then celebrity come dine with me. I watched the week that had Jay from tattoo fixers in and... he was useless! He hardly cooked anything. Cause in point his starter was soup.... out of a tin. He got some stick for it and I imagine he won’t live it down for awhile.
Sunday was also Who which, again I shoulda posted about on the day but... ah well. Thoughts ahead under the cut
I enjoyed this week’s episode and how creepy it was. The spoopy atmosphere was very well done I thought, especially since it ended with the unanswered question of those two ghosts. (Since they obviously had nothing to do with the rest of the happenings).
I had a feeling the figure above the lake would turn out to be the lone cyberman, not least because of the Doctor twitter account implying the ep led into the finale. It was a suitably creepy cyberman, though I think I need to rewatch it again to recall exactly what it was he was after. I know it’s a cyberman related thing... but why was it protecting itself in such a manner?
Of course the doctor ignored Jack’s warning and gave it what it wanted, so hopefully the next eps will go into that better. I thought for a second she might regenerate since it was mentioned that removing it needed the host to die. I’m glad it didn’t.
I’m looking forward to seeing how it all plays out.
After watching the pale horse (disappointing) I started disc 2 of The Clone Wars season 1. My hope was to get it all watched in one night but I failed at that. This was partly due to my brain being a bit funny but also due to more issues on the discord which ended up draining me completely. Why can’t people just get along?
Yesterday threw me off a bit cause mum was at home instead of the library. Since I was still unsettled I couldn’t focus in the afternoon so couldn’t read or fic so I just ended up recharging instead.
After the usual tv (of which there’s nothing after 9 now). I finished disc 2 of the clone wars. There’s some really entertaining and fun episodes to the series and some of the locations are so pretty but at times it can be jarring. Sometimes things are super detailed and then there was a bit from last week where Anakin looked odd. Also it was strange that they got the voice of Jar Jar in one ep and then a few later it was a different guy.
After that I finished off season 26 of Doctor Who with Survival. There’s not much to say about it really though. It’s got some good parts to it (like Ace returning to her home town and her comment on the master) but it felt a bit off somehow. Maybe it was cause of my mood or maybe it was the knowledge that this was the last ep of Classic who as a whole. I did like the cheetah people though design wise and the doctor trying to catch the kitling was funny.
I’m gonna watch the special features from the disc tonight.
This morning I finished chapter 3 of my uni and walked Naryu, but ugh. Instead of being relaxing there were at least three alarms going off, from different directions too. So my head is a bit eh.
I was thinking of using mums bus ticket tomorrow to see sonic, but she’s got a lift now so that’s not happening. Also not happening is the Xbox gr gameblast stream which... I’m not surprised since there was no announcement or confirmation.
I’m gonna try and avoid the net tomorrow afternoon lest I got annoyed about missing the mcr gig. I could afford the ticket it’s just everything else I couldn’t. Same with the upcoming palaye Birmingham gig, ugh. I’ll have to sort night vale and set it off soon.
I’m gonna snuggle now and read some of my Who magazine

Also kinda with you on the mcr gig *sighs*. Fuck it, I'll just keep holding out for a proper UK tour. I'm not unoptimistic...

Date: 2020-02-18 02:46 pm (UTC)Thanks, it’s just a bit stressful and draining. Heee yeah exactly! I saw you’re signed up for it too! It’s my first time ever doing something like it so I’m nervous a bit
Yeah *hugs* I hope they do and that it’s not ‘we’re doing a tour! Tickets are on sale tomorrow!’ Kinda deal

Enjoy your snuggling, it feels like the kind of evening to hunker down and snuggle.
