So it’s been raining again today which is good, as it’s nice and cool which is better than the the irritating heat.
Yesterday was a pretty lazy day. I did the food shop, started reading Pirate’s Price and generally spent it snuggled. For passing my course, mum got me the new expansion of Elder Scrolls Online, Elsweyr, which I started last night. I completed a dungeon, started an investigation into a missing person and, with the help of others on the game, beat a dragon. You can tell that the expansion is new because there were plenty of people around which was good, especially for the dragon. Hopefully it means I can beat the other dragons and world bosses cause of it too.
I’ve not done much ficcing, though I did a little yesterday. I hate that the weather is making my fic Brain go so slow, this should be a simple enough fic to do (a bottom!Diego fic that I started for the anon hate people got). I want it finished this week, which seems doable.
Last night I watched the next episode of old Who, which was Carnival Of Monsters. Carnival is the first episode since the Doctor has access to the tardis again, so he tried to take Jo to visit a planet... but in true Who fashion, it lands somewhere else entirely. Instead it lands on a boat inside a Miniscope, which is basically like a peep show with different species in it.
As an episode it’s a pretty good one, and, at four parts, it’s a nice enough length. Jo’s fun in it and shows off that she’s smarter than she first appears. As a concept it’s a pretty interesting one and the Inter Minor officials, with their xenophobia that’s so strong their willing to allow some of the beasts free (not caring how many people would die) seems, well, timely even now.
Something strange I realised was the special features. Carnival Of Monsters, like The Three Doctors, were one of the early episodes released on blu ray. As such, they got a later re-release, in boxsets called revisitations (which were three boxsets, each with three episodes, with additional special features). The old thing is that some of those special features are missing from the disc and the same is true about the three doctors ones. That’s odd because most of the features were transferred over (even the coming soon dvd trailers, which are obviously redundant now) so it’s strange. I dunno if they plan to put those features on other boxsets (some where random ones so maybe could be put on somewhere more relevant) or if they were just left off altogether (I don’t think they’re on the bonus disc). It seems odd though.
Today’s been wet again. We took Naryu for a walk and, while talking, mum told me about what she’d been reading. The first was one of the Alex Cross books I got her, which was about terrorists in New York, but the other was a kindle story. About werewolves and it soon became clear what she’d read was an omegaverse based thing which was.... well, awkward.
Plan for the rest of the day? Wait for food shop, watch the smash bros stream, try and fic and then watch some of the Who special features tonight.
