The rule of six

shadowhiveAfter the last post things have been a bit... odd but I’ll get to that.
Monday night I finished off Deadwax. It felt a little... odd towards the end, because it wasn’t exactly clear what it was all about. It could have done with an extra 5 minutes or so in the last parts. The show was all about a record that, if listened to would kill the listener. There were three other discs (called keys) that would make it safe to listen to.... but the why just wasn’t really there.
Tuesday was just... I dunno. I dunno if it was depression or the constant stream of bad things happening in the world but I just... crashed. I ended up bringing perry the porg down with me and giving him lots of hugs (he’s huge and good for that).
There was a good piece of news Tuesday which was Hyrule Warriors is getting a new game! It’s out a month after my birthday and looks so good especially because it’s a BOTW prequel. So there’s gonna be more stuff with the champions, yay!
I also caved at got sims 4 from cd keys with the new Star Wars expansion, because Star Wars. I’ve been looking into the other expansions but ugh, so much. (It’s downloaded so I might start it tomorrow)
The night I decided to do comfort things. So after watching the ID stream I put the Xbox box on and gamed a bit. First was ESO and I did a daily quest in Imperial city (which I still hate). Other players trying to kill you just makes things too hard, but at least I got enough event tickets for a purchase. Then I went on kingdom hearts 3 which I’ve not been on since it came to game pass. As such i was figuring out the controls but since it was still the intro level that was ok. I didn’t spend too long on it though. I then went on Spiritfarer which is so adorable so far. It has a kitty! And a sassy deer! And a boat!
Lastly I watched Kronk’s new groove which I’ve only seen once and I remember why as I watched it. It’s just not as good as emperor’s new groove was which is a shame because the characters were so fun in that.
Today I felt a bit better which was good. I went to home bargains to get sawdust but... there wasn’t any alas. They had Halloween stuff and I got a scented candle (boo berry) which smells so nice. Alas they also lacked some of the other things I’d hoped to get after the last visit (chocolate, galaxy brownie mix, doritos, pear drops), bah.
And then after coming back there was the news about COVID and new measures coming Monday (including the ‘rule of six’ which sounds like something from a fantasy novel). It baffles me how in all the talk about it and new restrictions, there wasn’t any real concern about workplaces or schools or universities. (Oh yea you can only meet with 6 people socially but school and work are exempt! As if the virus magically avoids those places). I’m glad I’m with the open uni so I do stuff from home and don’t have to deal with people. (Being among one of the groups were infection rates are rising doesn’t put me at ease either.) Fuck I’m glad I don’t have to deal with people. If it wasn’t for Naryu I’d just hole myself indoors and not go anywhere.
Ugh
In better news next door has a puppy! A lil cockapoo called Milo and he is adorable. I hope we get to see him more because awww.
The Dune trailer looks interesting though I’m not sure I’d go to the cinema for it. I dunno anything about Dune but it has a Jason Momoa and Oscar Isaac so...
I’m gonna game now and maybe watch something later.

I haven't read Dune in probably 15 years and my memories of the book are very vague BUT I would watch Oscar Isaac read the phone book so I am IN. I hope it has a streaming release.

I’ve never read the book, though I’m aware of it (and know there’s been a tv series but I’ve not seen that either). Heee yeah me too! I hope it is

Finally, I'm glad you have Perry, he does look good to hug.

He’s very snuggly!
