So there’s something for most of these other than two which is pretty good. The podcasts fell off cause Hyacinth Disaster was pretty depressing (and Night Vale seemed to be going the same). I had considered going back to the Penumbra podcast, but got distracted.

I was gonna watch Willy’s Wonderland on shudder but got sidetracked (I was going to this week but between tiredness and zoning out I didn’t, damnit.)

Plus QSMP has been kinda a distraction.

But hey, I managed a fic!

The April AMA starts now with the first question from turps which was this appropriate question: Do you like April Fools Day?

April fools day is a day I don’t really ‘get’ because it’s a day where you spend it tricking people and you can’t believe anything you see. I’ve not been particularly good at it and kinda feel it gets mean spirited.

Plus I’ve never been good at coming up with such tricks anyway, so I’ve never seen the appeal really.

I think it doesn’t really help in the current climate where people are prone to lying and feeling cruel anyway. I just feel that it’s not needed

I had hoped to do things today but I didn’t really, oops. Though I did start two games for an achievement (I can see myself going back to both, especially the second, Contrast which seems to be short and clever puzzling).

I think my mind has been partially distracted by Hasan’s bloody photoshoot which is hot for no reason (even though I wouldn’t call myself a Hasan guy)

There was James Marriott’s stream early which was a smash or pass which can get so cursed. What I didn’t expect is his response to someone sending in Hannibal to become extremely cannibalistic (unexpectedly followed up with Death from Puss In Boots) and it’s just… the most unhinged I’ve seen him (and that’s saying something). It’ll be stuck in my head a long time (and of course there’s no clips, bah).

It would seem Lost In Time has been ‘sorted’ when I had a quick shower. I saw ‘sorted’ as it’s got to where I was in the main game…. But it didn’t restore some things I won from events. And it also reset my progress so far in this current event (especially annoying due to being out tomorrow). So it’s fixed something but caused issues, ugh.

So you make plans that fail?

Today has ended up being pretty tiring so this’ll be a fairly short post (at least shorter than I thought it was gonna be)

First off, something that slipped my mind from the earlier post: it was Naryu’s birthday today! She is now 4 and so cute (and it’s curled up somewhere) we got her some treats (and hoped to get more today but didn’t really see anything).

It was thanks to giving Naryu a brief walk that I saw that the buses are, for some reason, not running like normal. Usually there is one every half hour but for some reason one of the bus routes isn’t running so there was only one running, which was a bit annoying,

We went to town probably earlier than we should, but we had a little wander around a few places. I used some change and points at game to get a black series figure in the sale, Teeka, the Jawa from Obi-Wan (cause Jawa’s are cute).

We got to the cinema before it opened so we were in as soon as doors opened. They were playing music from Mamma Mia in our screen room which is always a great choice. Trailers included three things that I’m gonna see anyway (Mario, Guardians Of The Galaxy, Indiana Jones) and two I likely won’t (The Flash, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles).

After that we went to McDonald’s and my lack of assertiveness/shyness strikes again. It took forever for the order to get sorted and I said nothing until one of them asked. I did think about asking a few times but I heard someone ask about an issue with their order and assumed it was the same. It was good but ugh it took so so so long.

I went in B and M hoping they might have some of the Lego reduced things I’d seen online but alas, no. However they did have the Minecraft bee plush which is really cute and fits with the bee house I’m gonna build later.
