Dec. 6th, 2022 01:05 pmI keep hoping to get better at reading and commenting on post and keep failing. (I have a few open in tabs to read) hopefully I can get read/reply to them soon.
Shortly after the last locked post, mum had a tumble. She seemed fine at the time, just a bit shaky. Then when I came down after uni reading yesterday I saw her walking around with a walking stick, and holding onto things when she walked around which is… concerning. She also had finished off the pain killers which says a lot, because she rarely takes them. We rarely get the ones she uses as a result (and they don’t agree with me) so I often her some of my ones that I use and… a fair few are gone already. She didn’t even go far when we took Naryu out, only going as far as the bench on the square outside.
She says she’s feeling a little better today, and was ok enough to head to the library, but it’s still concerning.
As a result of that we didn’t do any of the clearing we were going to do yesterday and we won’t later this week either. We were gonna go and pick mums meds up tomorrow but as it’s a long walk, I’m just going to make the trip alone which works better for me anyway.
Back to uni. I started the second of the two books this week and the very first line in the intro is along the lines of ‘by the time you read this book parts of it will be out of date’, because the science in it is fast moving with new discoveries all the time. But also… it seems like the book itself imps about 10 years old. You’d think they’d have updated it since then (indeed with this being the last year of the course next years will be all new).
Yesterday the new Who Ray boxset came, which is season 2. (I’d have cancelled it when the issues happened, to order next week instead, but the payment had already processed from mine.) I wasn’t particularly looking forward to it, if only because the first Doctor isn’t exactly my fav, but reading the booklet I am looking forward to seeing some of the eps (and one or two…. Less so) but it’s been awhile since I’ve seen any of them.
From reading the booklet though it seems a bit… I dunno, lacking. It seems that Behind The Sofa, a main feature that’s been done for every ep of the collection box sets before hasn’t been done for all of them this time (at least two don’t have them) but I’m hoping it’s just an omission in the printing. There’s also a lack of making of’s but that’s kinda understandable as, at this point, there’s not main people left from those early seasons (sadly).
I might start watching it tomorrow, with Planet Of Giants. I would’ve started it tonight, because I intended to rewatch welcome to raccoon city last night but I got sidetracked.
Said sidetracking was by watching a subathon stream last night. It was for a person I’d not seen before but Charlie mentioned on Ranboo’s stream on Sunday they were gonna be doing a dnd campaign as part of it so I decided two watch. I missed at least the first hour of it, so I was a little lost, but I think it was useful to watch to get a feel for the thing (especially since the main stream, Jaiden, had never played before). It also gave me a huge appreciation for Charlie who was DMing it, because damn. You really have to think on your feet and be prepared for anything the players do huh? And even he was blindsided when they, presented with a puzzle involving clay… ate it instead of making it into things. I might have to watch the campaign he did on his podcast with Ranboo.
(I’ve also found my bag with the dice and stuff I have so I know where they are to work on the Zelda campaign stuff)
But yeah as a result of watching that, I didn’t have the focus to watch racoon city or anything. Oop. I did manage to do some more Pokémon early in the day, beating the poison base (and I have feels for team star now) so I might do the dark base later. I’m not sure which gym I’ll head to because there’s like, three in east reach but due to the open nature of the game I’m not sure which to challenge first (even though my Pokémon feel kinda op now).
I’m not sure what today’s plan is gonna be. Like I say I hope to do Pokémon and watch welcome to raccoon city, and I also hope to fic some (even though it feels my momentum has stalled). Plus there’s Ranboo’s generation loss teaser tonight which I’m curious about.
