A thematic carcrash
So today was very… I knew it would be anxiety injuring, it just wasn’t anxiety inducing in the ways I’d prepared for.
But we’ll get to that.
The past few days I’d been hunting for the drawstring bag which I took to the last lovejoy gig, which I got from an Elder Scrolls loot crate but have I been able to find it? No. Ugh. I ended up taking a cex one which at least feet the theme of my jacket with its red colouring.
I’d decided to leave earlier than I would. Usually if I’m going just to a gig I’d leave around 4-5 but this time I left at 1:30 cause I was worried about trains. Thankfully that wasn’t an issue and I got there in time (with enough token to check the co-op there had the dnd magazine so I can pick that up at some point) and it arrived only a minute late.
I got to Birmingham and the first thing I did was went to the smiths at the station. They had loads of the Sleep Token Kerrang but I still got one (and a Total Film/SFX bundle) so that was one thing off my checklist! They’ve moved the commonwealth bull into the station, which looks so impressive. It even moves and eyes light up! I honestly have no idea how they got that in there though.
I then went to the bullring and the hmv is closed for something, which is annoying, but I only wanted to go in in case it has Jigsaw/Spiral on offer, or as a back up for Kerrang. Then I went in the Lego store to look at the new stuff and they look so pretty! I love the insect set, though oddly the Ghost/Phantom set isn’t on display.
Then I went to the cinema, since I was there anyway and couldn’t exactly buy anything. I went to see A Haunting In Venice, which is the new Poirot film. I’d say it’s the best of the three that they’ve done so far, or at least my fav. It’s helped by it adapting something that’s not been done often (as good as Murder On The Orient Express/Death On The Nile, they’ve been done so many times now). It also helped that it really leaned into its setting. It was a really creepy location and atmosphere. And also it had Michelle Yeoh who I think is one of those people that’s always worth seeing. I’m not gonna say more cause it just came out, but I really enjoyed it.
Alas the trailers have mostly left my head. I know there was one for The Creator, and something called The Lesson and I know there was more but… nope.
When I left the cinema it had clearly been raining and was trying again, so I thought fuck that and went to mcdonalds. I was only originally gonna get some mozzarella sticks but decided I may as well have a meal as well. I also managed to nap some of the happy meal pokemon cards (I didn’t know they were a thing!) though it seemed someone was being a dick so I left pretty quick after that.
Since the rain knocked off I went to the venue. Gig thoughts ahoy.
