Like ghosts in the snow

shadowhiveSo I missed posting yesterday but I’ll get to that later. Wednesday Night after watching the usual stuff I was thinking of watching a film on Film4 The Square, but it was three hours with ads and I wasn’t sure I’d be ok with that. So instead I started a game on Xbox (cause it was the game pass quest) Deliver Us The Moon.
It’s an exploration game where you’re trying to find out what happened on (as the name implies) the moon. Turns out most of the earth’s power supply was from the moon and Something went wrong but it’s took years to send a mission, it’s intriguing so far and I’ve only just got to the moon (first was taking off, then the first stop was a space station). I meant to go on it last night but.... we’ll get to that.
I had hoped these past few mornings to start listening to my Big Finish Humble Bundle on my laptop but that hasn’t happened at all. Maybe causa the exam draining me, maybe cause it means opening the laptop. Listening to the Magnus archives requires minimal movement on my part since it’s straight from my pad but even then I’ve only listened to one a day. (It does seem it’s a good job I’ve not tried to do that, because there’s been a big laptop update with ih Ugh... I’m glad it wasn’t there Monday.)
Speaking of bundles there is a bundle of games on itch.io for racial equality. They’re all for the pc and the minimum donation is $5 and for that you get....over 1500 things. Which is so many and there’s no way you can go through them all but it’s for a good cause. I’m gonna try and download a few and play the shorter ones some mornings.
So yesterday I had a delivery from amazon which was left on the doorstep (in a bag cause it was raining). One thing that came was a Star Wars book Queen’s Peril which is about Padme (which was unexpected cause the debate kept changing and I only had an email it was coming the morning it came). The other was a Lego set I got in the sale, Wrecking Ball from Overwatch. Since it was raining I ended up building it up and... ugh.
I was using a bowl to store the bits in and I knocked it, sending the pieces flying which meant I had to hunt them down before continuing. One is still missing, a red piece that keeps a panel in place, which sucks. Still though, he looks pretty cool despite that.
I actually managed some reading yesterday afternoon and read two chapters of Black Spire. I’m hoping to read more now uni is done because I have so. Many. Books. To read. I’ve been so bad at reading (to give a hint I started Black Spire in autumn but it got too dark). I’m hoping to read the Night Vale novel after it and then... I’m not sure.
But speaking of books they announced a new Star Wars one yesterday. A certain point of view book for Empire. I loved the first one they did for A New Hope and hoped they’d do one for other films. (The first one was 40 writers doing short stories for characters during the events of the film, from the captain of the Tantive IV to Lando.) there’s no date I’ve seen but I’m looking forward to it.
After the usual Thursday tv (including Magnum PI), I ended up going really drained. I ended up drifting off before midnight which is just so... odd. I dunno what it is, maybe it’s the weather, maybe it’s that my mood is odd I dunno.
Today I’m hoping to read more Black Spire and watch some of the online Download stuff. And then maybe go on Delivery Us The Moon tonight.
To end, the June Something.
How open are you about being in fandom to your non-fandom friends/family?
Well pretty much everyone I know is part of fandom in some form or other. Mum knows I’m into shows and stuff and she knows I’m part of The Umbrella Academy and Animal Crossing discord’s but I don’t think I’ve ever discussed writing with her (and I certainly wouldn’t discuss content with her).
What is something you consider headcanon that was never truly resolved in canon?
The one that comes to mind is Finn and Poe. Clearly there is a thing there, certainly on Poe’s side, but it was never explored or resolved in the films (I mean they spent most of The Last Jedi apart and Rise Of Skywalker it was all about the mission so there was no room for them to breathe, though they shoulda kissed at the end).
I’m sure there’s more but I can’t think of anything else now,
I’m heading off to walk the pup now. Hopefully it stays dry,
