(no subject)

I fully intended to do a post yesterday after returning from getting mum’s meds, but I was just too wiped to manage it. So I’m doing it now instead, while I wait for my youtooz (which is coming in the next two hours and is the foolish shark ahhh!)

First off thoughts on Smile.

On the way home I usually go down a path that’s in darkness, which is where we usually walk the pup in daylight, but something made me not go that way and keep to the (slightly longer) road route instead. Maybe I was spooked from the film.

I intended to watch Nine Perfect Strangers when I got back but I wasn’t in the mindset so I watched some treehouse of horror eps and then just flopped in bed.

Yesterday we went to pick up mum’s meds (as well as sawdust, since it seems to be nowhere right now) and we got a few things. I got a Halloween mug and oven mitt from TK maxx (which has Halloween stuff on clearence already which seems wrong) and I also got some books too. From Sainsburys I picked up a crotchet pumpkin kit and a Lego Minecraft set which was reduced a fair bit (especially surprising cause it was one of the new ones). It’s got some pretty cool features to it, though the spinning wall is a little fiddly to set someone up in it (much like the dark trooper attack set).

When I came back there was two packages waiting on the doorstep (just left there!). One was something mum ordered, while the other was Tommy’s new book which I might take tomorrow to read on the train.

The trip did wipe me out a bit so I was pretty tired the rest of the day.

Last night there was Taskmaster which was pretty fun and that was followed by Name Your Price. It’s a completely ridiculous show, where streamers play games (mostly focussed, as the name implies, on the price of things). Because of covid streams of it used to have contestants stream in from their homes/set ups but the new season of it has had people come into the studio (other than Corpse who’s still faceless). The show has a 70’s aesthetic so contestants have outfits for them which are pretty ridiculous at times.

I was looking forward to this weeks one especially. I only usually watch when there’s someone I know on it and usually there’s only one or two people that I do. Last night’s one included four contestants that I all knew, which was a first and I was especially looking forward to it because Foolish and Ranboo we’re two of them.

The announcement pic of all of them used the Foolish pic of him shirtless, leading Foolish to ask ‘is that what I’m gonna be wearing’ and the proceeding slew of speculation he’d be shirtless. He wasn’t alas, but his shirt was open enough to show skin, as was Ranboo’s. (Before the show I did mention to a friend that Foolish would unbutton his shirt in an attempt to get points)

The show was absolutely insane, Foolish was so hot and during the intro he lowered his glasses to wink at the camera (he was also described as being in a will they won’t they with Punz who was also a contestant). Over the course of the show he proceeded to flirt with Austin (on of the presenters), then dance with him (twice!), then unbutton his shirt in an attempt to get more points. Then he asked Austin to come over and KISSED HIM! It was so wild and so insane I felt I was hallucinating the whole thing until I saw clips and pics that confirmed that yes, that indeed happened. And on top of that Foolish was just so charming and pretty and dumb (for one multiple choice round he wrote down the whole answer instead of just the letter, for another asking about expiry dates he wrote times instead of years). And I just… he came close to winning too! If Punz had got the last question wrong he would have won (because Foolish at that point was, somehow, in the lead).

It honestly feels like a fever dream and I might just do a pic post from it later or something.

Lastly thefridayfive

1. How many languages do you speak?

(I so read this in EV-9D9’s voice, from Return of the Jedi) I only speak one language alas, English. I was taught French at high school but it hasn’t really stuck. I’ve tried to learn a few other things, but not done too well

2. What is your mother tongue?

English

3. What is a language that you would like to learn and why?

Spanish or Japanese. I did get a 3ds thing to learn Japanese which I did enjoy but then I misplaced it. I also tried to learn Spanish on Duolingo but I stopped after awhile, I’m hoping to start soon.

4. Does it bother you when people speak a language you don't know in front of you? Why or why not?

Not really, unless they’re like… clearly pointing at me, that would bother me. But otherwise no.

5. Speak to me.

Omelette du fromage

Now I’m going to rest, wait for the foolish shark, then walk the pup. And then get things sorted for tomorrow.

Edit to add: birthday is now just under a week away, ugh. Also He’s here!
