(no subject)

So yesterday was a day that had a firm split.

I woke in the morning feeling rough, mostly because of a nightmare I had which felt so real I felt the need to check (it wasn’t). But also annoying it had made me sleep longer than I expected. Then later when I checked on the Facebook app (unintentionally) it decided the first thing I should see was a pic ‘in this day’ forever ago… of someone that ditched me which was… ugh.

I must have looked rough when I came down because mum said I should stay in and not walk the pup with her. That turned out to be a good thing as an engineer from talk talk came to check the internet. They spent sometime outside checking the line (and then the storm rolled in) before coming in to check around the socket. After running some tests they replaced something and then went, which seemed to finally sort it out.

After having lunch and watching the Willow finale (which was so good I’m looking forward to what the do with the next season, it seems there’s gonna be at least three). The rain stopped so I did snowflake (although Naryu was sneaky and the storm came back as I posted)

Rest of the day was ok, i tried Thai vegan fish cakes (which were really nice, watched Agatha Raisin (which seemed to be the last ep of the series pick was playing boo), then Our Flag Means Death on iplayer (it’s still so funny I’m curious what’s gonna happen there) and then Eret decided to stream (still in England, still rocking the dress though damn that slit in it…)

Then just as I was about to finish up on Dreamlight valley and head to bed…. The net did the same thing it did on Tuesday. It disconnected at least three times, possibly more, as I went to bed. I sent a dm to talktalk when it stabilised enough to but… ugh.

Then this morning I was woke up by a call from someone claiming to be from BT open reach about the net. I felt suspicious about it, but thought it might be because of being annoyed at being awake and talking to people. Then they insisted I get the laptop and do something on it…. Which took me to a site blocked by talktalk’s scam protection.

Now I dunno if anyone else has talktalk but they rarely, RARELY block anything due to scam protection. I can probably count on one hand the amount of times I’ve ran into it (and wouldn’t need all my fingers to do so) so there’s no way I’m gonna access a site they have blocked. So I hang up, headed back up and let them know.

So that’s a great start to the day, ugh.

I’m not sure what the plan is with the rest of the day. Mums clothing order is there to pick up at sainsburys but I dunno we (or I) will go pick it up cause of the weather. I want to get back to the Who run after Madame Blanc Mysteries, but Sapnap’s mentioned a stream tonight so I dunno how timing is. I might try and work on fic too but I dunno.

But ugh I’m just so annoyed and frustrated by all this Nonsense. I thought it was finally sorted so to have it act up again…

At the bottom of the sea

Another post today it seems.

A few things happened today after the last post. I had an Elder Scrolls crate come, which I’m still surprised they’re sending. It was better than the last one (the last seemed lacking cause it had socks as a wearable). This one had a pretty tray, a nice big soft blanket, a key ring (would be useless as one but nice for display), a sweet roll pin and a lil plush dragon.

I should have have something else coming soon but it seems not. I’d preordered the splatfest Pokémon tees only to get an email today saying the order is cancelled. But when I checked the account it still says awaiting dispatch so I dunno what’s going on.

This afternoon I had to head to Home Bargains to pick up dry food for the cats (there was only half a bag left mum informed me as we walked Naryu). One reason why I was eager to go was because when we went before Christmas there was Sonic figures, including one of Shadow. Alas there wasn’t Shadow today which is a shame (it was around when the money issues were going on so I didn’t wanna get him). I did get sonic though and it’s… ok. It’s not as poseable as it makes out (though I’d still like Shadow if anyone sees one). I also had two league of legends figures and I’m not sure why other than they looked cool and were insanely reduced (about 90% off) and I’m a sucker for a bargain.

I did get tired after walking back. I meant to do a post when I got back but just felt too drained. I tried to doze but… had no real luck.

So I thought about making a post on The Rig and someone asked for my thoughts so I’m gonna post them here. Thoughts are divided in two: non-spoiler thoughts above the cut and more spoilers thoughts under it.

So I heard of The Rig when I saw Radio times tweet about it a few weeks ago, with the post being about a trailer for it. I watched the trailer and was instantly curious. Some sort of mysterious goings on at sea on a rig? I was immediately curious. Especially since nightmare yearnings had a story set on rig. And I think there needs to be more sea based spookyness.

So what’s the premise? The show is set out on an oil rig in the North Sea. Things seem normal enough, until they lose communication with the main land. Then there’s a tremor. And then a mysterious fog rolls in…

As I mentioned in a post at the time, it was released last week and I intended to watch one ep on Friday, but I ended up watching the next straight after it (and would have watched more if I wasn’t feeling tired). Over the next two days I did the same, watching two eps a night, so I watched the whole thing over a weekend which, considering I rarely binge, I feel says a lot.

I’d say after watching it that it’s less a horror (though it has some elements) but more a drama/mystery type deal.

If you’re interested it’s on Amazon prime.
