(no subject)

The last few dates have been mostly uneventful and I obviously didn’t do a late song Saturday though there have been some annoyances of various kinds.

On Monday I had to pick up my meds (and mums was thankfully there too) so we got some things from the lil M and S food (mainly hot cross buns) and stuff from the pup and guinea pig from pets at home. So that meant I was pretty tired the rest of the day. The annoyance came in the mail. On Tuesday we had vouchers from m and s including money off said hot cross buns. Then this morning there was one from pets at home with money off vouchers for Naryu’s food, the pig food and general ones. Ugh.

Tuesday was the food shop which came ok but was at a fairly late time and Doritos got switched out,

Wednesday we were meant to watch Elementary because it was due to be back on pick at 9pm, there were ads and everything. Then when it came time to watch... nothing. I checked to see if I had the wrong day but nope, it’s not on the schedule. Pick have messed up with shows before randomly but not like this.

Yesterday I had an urge to do some things so I sorted out my figure shelf but, as always happens, when I put them back they dominoed. Ugh. More successful was moving the nightmare before Christmas advent tree (even though I like it) and putting the hogwarts castle bit up there. (Although oddly evening though it made space on the table after putting everything back after mum changed the cloth today the space is just... gone).

Today’s been a bit of a mixed bag. On the good side my qwertee came and the Lego mum ordered for Easter did too. There was also an IDat Xbox showcase which had some nice indie games even though it was a tad too long. (One of the games included Death’s Door which has you play as a crow with a sword) On the bad, I couldn’t get two things mum wanted from ebay which seems to have sent her into a mood, even though I keep advising her not to look at auctions.

The other bad Thing is I’d ordered story of seasons from amazon. Up until this morning the tracking listed it as coming before 8pm today and then when I checked it today it suddenly changed to... April 24th. Which is crazy. I eventually had an email saying there was an ‘unexpected delay’ which is such a non-answer. Even more annoying? Now on the item page it’s listed as being in stock and if you ‘order now and you can get it by Sunday’. Well if you’ve suddenly found or got stock you should be giving it to people that preordered it first, not general release! Ugh it’s so frustrating.

I watched Colony In Space tonight and I’ll probably post thoughts tomorrow.

Other things, Milo has AC which is cute though he’s stubborn about not getting help. I managed to get enough scrying done on ESO to be able to get the thing I won in the Morrowind event Even though it was annoying to get. I did some Fenyx Rising which included the blood of Zeus quests and taming a mount. Valhalla seems to be sorted and I did all the Mario maker 2 story levels. Maxx finished his dnd campaign though I missed some of it (there was a battle of the bands style thing with Our Chemistry love story and eww giant spiders at the end). Magnus Archives has finished so I’m gonna listen to the last three eps this weekend. I have Waterparks songs in my head and I was thinking of watching their show tomorrow but I’m not sure yet.

I also watched a Pokemon ep with an Espurr which started spooky but then gave me feels.

I’m gonna head up now.

Song Saturday - Waterparks

So since it’s been the Waterparks gig today I’d figure I’d do them so...

Watch on YouTube

So I was gonna use the Not Warriors video, but when I was looking through YouTube I saw that there was a video for Crave. I’ve had the song stuck in my head for the last few days, but didn’t know there was a video so I decided to watch it. It’s not what I would have expected, though it does have dogs in it! More videos should have dogs! And the boys are dressed as dogs for... some reason? (*mind has thoughts*)

I’ll be honest, I didn’t really know much about Waterparks until fairly recently. I’d seen pics of them, so knew one had bright hair but that was about it. I pretty much blame skinwalker for me starting to listen to them, so they have much more info on the boys than I do!

Something I find clever is that all their eps/lps have been in alphabetical order. So far they’ve got to G so the newest one is Greatest Hits.

Watch on YouTube

I’m also gonna add this, which is Snow Globe, their latest video.

So last night, just a few minutes after I made the post, I had an email from amazon saying Story Of Seasons was on it’s way and due today so yay.

It turned up today, so I’m glad for that. I got the deluxe edition so it included a poster, cards and a notebook (which usefully includes an in game calendar with birthdays on it). I’ve played it a bit and it’s nice to have a farming game that’s actually got some fast progression. (Don’t get me wrong I love Stardew but one thing that puts me off getting it for the switch is the prospect of being so far behind.) In a few days of story of seasons I got a coop, fixed up a bridge and have access to getting my first pet. Another thing I love is that the pets aren’t just a choice between dog and cat, theres a variety of breeds! Plus you can give your character hetrochromia which I’ve not seen before.

We walked with the pup before i played and I got pics of the post box. Why? Because someone has crotched a top for the nearest two. This one has two gnomes, a mushroom and tree. Another one has a beach, with an octopus and palm trees. It’s cute.

I popped to the co-op and got some eggs (and chocolate for mum) I also got Fanta. There’s a new blue type, but it’s a mystery flavour. I’m not quite sure what it is but it’s sweet, kinda fruity but I can’t place it.

I decided to watch the Waterparks Gig tonight and I’m glad it did. The stream was from veeps who did a few other gigs I’d seen and the stream itself went great (no issues like the ones with the Adam Lambert one). They played songs from across their albums and the set was nice with trees and such. Geoff was cute, helping Awsten with an ear thing, then sitting on the floor during an acoustic. For some reason Awsten wanted us to listen to his throat as he swallowed water.

They didn’t play Crave alas, but they played others I like, Not Warriors and Turbulent and I Miss Having Sex so yay! Although it felt like the set flew by too.

As I mentioned in the last post I watched Colony In Space. It’s the first time the Third Doctor has been off world, thanks to the Time Lords sending him on a mission. It was amusing that as the Tardis left the Brigadier said ‘Doctor! Come back at once!’

The ep manages to be a pretty good one and, despite being six episodes, didn’t feel like it overlong. (Though yeah it was long, but for this one it’s harder to see what would get cut). I felt sorry for the colonists, trying to make a living on this planet and everything going wrong for them. It made me wonder why they didn’t just up and leave at first but that gets explained by the ship they used being run an old one (which when it’s forced to take off explodes). Their situation isn’t helped by the mining company that wants the planet for themselves, using trickery, Murder and sabotage to try and scare them off.

And then the master arrives, pretending to be an arbiter, who is only there to gain access to a doomsday weapon. Usually said weapon being hidden on the planet would come across as just another random idea thrown in, but it’s inclusion here makes sense. It’s presence messed up the natives and it’s why the colonists crops don’t grow. (Although the end of the ep, where it’s destroyed by a self destruct, is kinda a puzzling thing itself. Why didn’t the natives not just evacuate theor city and use it ages ago?)

It’s kinda left open ended if the mining captain and his men gets away with all they did. Sure another arbitrator is on the way, but it’s implied the prices could be corrupted even then.

Next ep is the last ep of the season, the Daemons.
