Jun. 10th, 2022 10:45 pmTwo posts in two days, I know what is this madness?
So yesterday was the Summer Game Fest presentation and…honestly? I can’t recall much of it. Maybe it was because I’d been super tired in the day, maybe because nothing grabbed me (the indie games in day of the devs following it seemed better) but yeah. A common thread seemed to be sci fi horror in games (seriously there was at least four) and I’m wondering what triggered the theme.
After it I ended up doing more Lego Star Wars, which was some of the Tatooine things. I really do need to free play the levels though still.
Today we went to the opticians. Mum had managed to get us an appointment after calling a few days back and it went… well. It seems my right eye has gotten much worse and it might be what has caused some of my recent headaches and achy eyes. I’ve got a heat thing to put on my eyes and a further test thing Monday (and she wants me to take a blood test to cover my bases) so… Oof.
After that I went in the co-op and finally used the card I have (for some reason it works at the one by the station/opticians but not the local one because they’re somehow different? I don’t get it) so I got £1.50 off the little shop we did (plus my student discount) and I got my Lego Star Wars magazine.
When we got back we watched Taskmaster from last night which was fun and then I watched Xbox uk play the quarry (mostly cause I was hoping to win a code). It looks pretty cool, just like a teen horror thing, and I’m still not sure what’s going on.
I finally tried the pink what the fanta bottle we got from when we took Naryu to the vet… but the flavour is, disappointingly, eh. I think it’s watermelon? But it doesn’t taste nice. I’ve only had two sips and I don’t think I’ll finish it, which is a shame cause I don’t like wasting such things.
Anyway, here’s tonight Friday Five, which I’m gonna try and get back into doing. And then I’m gonna watch stuff and maybe watch that Fortnite concert thing.
1. What is the last book you read and what book(s), if any, are you currently reading?
I can’t remember the last book I read, but I’m currently reading A Test Of Courage, which is a Star Wars High Republic book set during/after a ship being sabotaged.
Once I’ve finished that I’m gonna read the last Lesser Known Monsters and hopefully read more over summer.
2. How about moving pictures? Are you a fan of any TV show or movie right now?
I’ve currently been watching Grimm cause it’s one every week night, though I wouldn’t say my interest is there anymore with it. Season 5 of it just started last night.
I’ve got a few things I’ve started and need to finish, Disenchantment, Moon Knight, Inside No 9, but I’ve not done a good job watching them. Or the many things in my to watch list of doom.
3. What's your favorite genre, and why?
Probably sci-fi stuff. I’ve always liked space stuff. The world has been so terrible lately that I’ve preferred watching comedy stuff. I don’t think I could stand dystopias at the minute
4. If we were all evacuating the planet, and you could only bring 3 unique works of entertainment for posterity, which would you pick? Let's just assume that we've coordinated it so there are no repeats.
Hmmm that’s tricky. Mostly because the main things I’d suggest (Star Wars, Pokemon, Zelda) would already be taken by someone (at least I hope so!) so it’s a case of going for things that wouldn’t be as obvious.
So I mentioned above Lesser Known Monsters, so I think the series as a whole definitely needs to be included because we need more Queer books plus monsters.
Also mentioned above is Taskmaster, which is honestly one of the funniest shows on tv. I’ve seen the early seasons so many times and they always make me laugh with how ridiculous they are.
And then… hmmm. I’m trying to think of a film or game that I’ve watched or played, but is also fairly obscure or niche but I’m not sure…. Hmm, you know what, screw it. Mamma Mia. It’s fun and I’ve watched it so many times, it’s just so joy filled and I think it’s something we need.
5. Do you make new works as well (fannish or original both count)? Or is that not your skillset/interest?
Sometimes, though not for awhile because of stresses. Usually it’s just fic and the occasional basic icon.
