A few weeks late but here’s December’s monthly round up. As I with a lot of months there’s so many gaps, mostly due to stress/depression making focus bad. But! I did finish the Dark Pictures Anthology which I do absolutely recommend, especially Devil In Me. I’m super excited for the next one whenever it’s coming.

And I also finished another Heritage set of The Paternoster Gang (and finished the last one this month) which were pretty good for the most part. It makes me so sad that they’ve not had a series, or appeared on Who in general, but maybe that will change soon?

The other Who audios were on BBC sounds. The ninth doctor one was very timey wimey, so bare that in mind though. The tenth Doctor ones were ones I got for Christmas and the Tenth Doctor and Donna are so great together

But yeah a lot of gaps, I do hope that this year there’ll be less gaps.

Last few days have been semi productive. I finished a fic and hoped that would spark doing more, but alas it hasn’t. Mostly that’s due to it being really cold and also because of yesterday. (I had hoped to do one of the shorter wips cause I suspect tomorrow I’ll wanna do a James thing)

But yeah it has bygone really cold, it just feels freezing inside the house and it’s made my fingers so cold. The main issue is that, because Midna and Naryu curl up on us, we can’t shift to turn the heating or heater on (as they are dead weights and refuse to move alone). When outside it’s been so cold and I shrill can’t find my gloves so I might have to find some. Apparently it’s meant to snow soon which? Ugh

Yesterday we ended up going to Sainsburys to see if they had cat litter. I wasn’t keen on going since it meant walking in the cold and I thought it’d be a wasted trip. But they did have some though it was exhausting getting back. As mentioned in the last one I also got a Lego bond car, which I made up last night and looks pretty cool though doesn’t have any features other than changing number plates (of which there’s eight).

Yesterday afternoon mum went with my cousin to see my uncle cause he’s had some infection due to his treatment but… eh I find it hard to care. Nor do I care about the gossip mum got about my cousins either. They didn’t care about us or my grandparents when we needed to so why should I now? Eh.

This week I have been watching Seapeekay’s subathon stream, which I’ve dipped in and out of but it’s been mostly fun, especially since he’s been playing Cult Of The Lamb (meaning he’s the third streamer to do so along with Foolish and Eret) and it’s impressive how far he’s got in it on the new save. (When I left last night he’d unlocked sin) he’s gonna do a horror game tonight but I dunno what it is yet.

Tonight’s the xbox showcase thing which I’m curious about watching because there’s Indiana Jones and ESO info, though it’ll just remind me how far behind I am on ESO. I still haven’t finished up on High Isle/Firesong stuff and haven’t started Necrom despite having it since release. Damnit. Another thing for the list.

Also what is it with stuff today? Cause the Magnus Archives follow up has just gone live though I dunno when I’ll get to listen.

Tomorrow is the gig in Birmingham, which on the one hand I’m looking forward to on the other. Ugh there’s already issues. The minor one is I’d hoped to make it a day and see a film, but all the ones I’d have wanted to see either have ended (Night Swim/Aquaman) or had their times too late (The Boy And The Heron). Not only the but the train back is a bus replacement partway which is always an annoying. I’m not looking forward to that cause buses tend to be so much colder than trains.

But on the other hand, the game in Birmingham has the Shadow set in stock so I should be able to get it and James posted merch pics so I have some idea what to get (though he does say he has a extra ‘surprise’ thing which ??). I’m not gonna head to the venue though until about an hour before doors open because fuck waiting in the freezing cold like an idiot. (Though I hope the time on the venues site is right cause it means I should be able to see Jago at merch)

Now though I’m gonna watch the last The Upper Hand ep, maybe fic and watch the Xbox thing.
