A post of two halves

Yesterday was meant to be a lazy day, but mums friend wanted something ordering so… I ended up being sent to town which was exhausting. The bridge into town is having roadworks on/around it, which means the bus (which I took cause mums friend had a day saver) went the long way.

(Said roadworks also means I can’t just walk to or from the cinema which, along with the late times, rules out seeing Venom)

I got some things from Iceland and home bargains (which mum sent me for), as well as hair dye (cause the lot I got last time went awol) and the Doctor Who chronicles that I couldn’t find anywhere else from Smiths (it’s pretty good and makes me wish season 20 was out already).

Talktalk have changed tac now and they’re sending a new router which… I mean at least it’s free? I hope it helps but it’ll be annoying having to have to redo all the logins on everything.

The rest of the night was tiring though Taskmaster was fun as always.

I ended up not being able to settle so watched Jawn’s stream… which went on till about 5ish so ugh.

I mean I’ve been exhausted, low energy and highly depressed anyway, but a late night didn’t help those things. Ah well.

I woke and found that Bullet are doing a signing for their new album in Birmingham, I’m not sure if I go, I’ll have to ponder. I went to a signing for the last one, Gravity, which was about three years ago now, the album actually gave me so many feels that year, because that’s the year everything went so wrong and the songs seem to capture that. I’ve got mixed things of the songs for the new one so far so I guess we’ll see. I guess it depends on timings.

The main thing today has been the new Animal Crossing update which… all the lead up stuff was focussed on it being about Brewster, but the length of the direct was meant to be 20 minutes so I doubted it would just be him.

There’s actually been a lot added to it (and I’ve likely missed some stuff)
*the roost and Brewster added to the museum, with an option to invite amiibo there (and Isabelle sometimes comes!)
*Kapp’n is back with mystery island visits
*Farming, with cooking diys
*Gyroids are back!
*Harv’s island is being made useful with the addition of a marketplace type thing, including Tortimer, Harriet and Katrina
*New items in the shop/nooks
*Huge storage expansion!

But there’s also a paid expansion too, which is essentially happy home designer 2
*Set on an archipelago
*Can design homes for villagers
*people from your island can have a holiday home
*new items on a shop
*Being able to design facilities (hospital, school, restaurant etc)
*The ability to take stuff you learn from there home
*being able to redesign villagers homes on your own island!

Apparently these are the last updates for it (at least the last free ones) which is a shame though I suspect there’s also gonna be some stuff they’ve not mentioned in there (I hope you can expand your home, add new villagers on your island and expand your island though I somehow doubt that). There’s also gonna be amiibo cards, which include new villagers (no word on if other special ones will show up too though it wouldn’t surprise me).

I’m so tired yet I can’t properly settle which is annoying, I might try and fic some in a bit, something I was gonna do last night, but we’ll see.

Halloween 2018 is on tonight but I doubt I’ll watch it because tiredness and I don’t think I’d be in the mood for it.

Next week is my birthday which, I’m semi looking forward to cause I know there’ll be some Lego and fics, but with the way my mood alphas been I’ll worry if depression related to it will hit me. I guess we’ll see.

Ok this post wasn’t as much two halves as I expected but ah well.
