shadowhiveSince the disaster that was Monday things have been better (well as better as they can be with a constant stream of anxiety and exhaustion).
Monday night I watched Trick R Treat. I don’t know how many times I’ve watched it now but I still spot some new things due to how interconnected all the stories are. It really is one of my favourite films to watch.
Tuesday was largely uneventful other than food shop coming. And, of course, there was bake off. It’s a shame that Lottie left. She was my other fav and now she’s gone, mostly due to bad luck (Laura should’ve gone really). I still think doing a challenge with ice cream in summer is a stupid idea.
On Wednesday the package from Heather came, yay! Though the tracking was a bit of a fail at times since it lots the delivery van on the map (and then went all together at the end). There was some Star Wars stuff (Christmas funkos, a Child) as well as a halloween bag and taffy! Yay!
I managed to finish fic so yay! Though I’m not sure what I’ll do with the next one yet.
I’ve been real tired lately, and I think it’s because of the additional anxiety that’s going round causa the election, but it seems trump has lost which is good. Even though he’ll need to be dragged out kicking and screaming like a toddler. I don’t know how anyone can still support him after all the stuff he’s said and done.
Despite that I have managed to read. I started Lesser Known Monsters on Monday and it’s pretty good so far. I’ve read all of the first part and now I’m so curious. For awhile I did actually wonder if the monster title was a misdirect but there definitely is some monster stuff going on (especially so after the end of part one and the interlude).
I managed to watch last week’s Discovery Thursday and just... it’s so odd seeing Earth become so isolationist as it has. Though perhaps it’s not a surprise considering people are assholes. It’ll be interesting seeing Trill again soon, especially since I’ve been watching DS9 lately.
I also managed to finish up Mario 64 on the switch, woo! Getting the last of the 70 stars was a bit of a pain but I managed it. I also started Carto, after seeing how cute it looked on the I’d stream on Monday. I finished it last night and it was so sweet, if a bit tricky at times. (And boo I missed one of the achievements.)
Yesterday was Friday so it was The Mandalorian time. Thoughts ahoy,
This was another rather self contained story and it started by showing off how in danger the Mandalorian still was. And also the consequences of season 1 coming back to both bite him and save him. There was also a lot of stuff from the trailer in this one too. I expect that ep 3 will have more stuff from it (the stuff on the water planet).
I liked the frog lady, though I felt so sad for her because of the child eating her eggs. And the Mandalorian was very much in dad mode for him throughout. (Though eww spiders)
I’m curious how the next part will go, since I expect it’ll be a continuation and end up on the water planet.
This morning I had a pancake from Vin so first xmas card! Which is a little odd and sweet. I’m currently snuggled and watching The Black Cauldron since I’ve not seen it before.

I've maintained baking anything at all outside in a tent in the summer is stupid because so much of baking is temperature-sensitive but making them do ice cream is truly the stupidest thing they've ever done. I love Noel but my patience with Bake Off since Mary, Mel, and Sue left has just been steadily waning :(
