Mar. 29th, 2024 09:58 amTime for a post, mostly cause I continued my Who ray run last night.
First off health update. Mostly I’m ok now, although I still get drained easily which is annoying. My head has still been annoying too with random sharp pain coming every so often though that’s eased off too. It’s made my focus a bit off which has been annoying and meant I’ve not done as much as I’d hoped.
However I did feel up to Dungeons and Dodongos Sunday which was fun. My character got suddenly taking by a wall master which was honestly such a cool thing to happen.
I’ve also felt ok enough to do some of the things I put off cause of being sick, so I went through the icons and purged the Wilbur, George and Punz ones (at least I think I’ve got them all). I do feel so sad about it, but it freed up a lot of spaces so I’ve also done a bunch more icons and might add some more soon.
There was an Amazon spring sale and I picked up one thing from it, a dugtrio building set and it’s so cute! It has a basic mechanism which makes them bob up and down and I love it.
Mum ordered some clothing thing from Sainsburys so we had to pick it up Wednesday which was the furthest I’ve walked in weeks so was so exhausting. I did pick up some stuff from TK (a Lego Star Wars book, a Holga Honor among thieves figure, some Red Nose Day stuff, but alas no tees) and some of those nice carnal hot cross buns from m and s (I wish I got more). Though we ended up getting too much (mum said we only needed some butter, she ended up fully filling our bags) so we were both tired.
Then yesterday we had to get a stamp from the next village over and got caught in heavy rain back so that was exhausting as well.
Hello Fresh also sent a box yesterday even though I’d skipped the week (they didn’t charge us cause it was an error on their part) but it was so disappointing cause all the things were meat and none of them particularly appealed to mum so ugh. I’ve made sure to deactivate it so it doesn’t happen again, which is a shame cause the chipotle stuff was nice.
I also had an email from a zavvi sale on blurays so looked through it not expecting to see anything and found that there’s a Ju-On boxset like the Ring one so I’m tempted to pick it up.
And damnit why did I find this vid of Hasan crushing watermelons with his thighs damnit.
Anyway! Who thoughts now.
Last night was The Invisible Enemy. It’s one of those eps that I couldn’t remember the plot of, in fact all I remembered was the obvious: that this is K9’s first appearance. Sometimes going in largely blind like that is a good thing, cause it makes it surprising, sometimes it’s bad, because there’s a reason my brain blocked it out. Thankfully this one was mostly the former.
The ep started out pretty strong, with a virus that takes people over and some nice model work as the first victims land on a base and take it over. It’s so unsettling when the doctor also gets taken over and how he slurs his speech, misnames Leela and generally acts strangely. Then the action moves to what’s essentially a hospital in space (which is a pretty cool concept) on an asteroid (also a cool concept) with a slightly eccentric professor and K9. K9 is pretty cool he gets to show off what he can do (scan, shoot enemies, use his laser to treat obstacles) so I can see why he joined (though I do feel sorry that his master just kinda… gives him up when he clearly has an attachment to him, maybe he made another one of him later?).
toward the end of ep 2 the story becomes a bit bonkers, with short lived clones of Leela and the Doctor being miniaturised and injected into him to find the virus. The sets for his brain are pretty cool looking but the nucleus of the swarm in his head just looks like a blob with a claw. Then when it escapes it looks cooler for a few seconds at the third ep’s climax before it’s basically a shrimp that shuffles around and isn’t intimidating. Don’t get me wrong the whole thing is an interesting concept it’s just one of those times where the execution isn’t the best. However the whole thing was still entertaining and Leela was awesome, being a person of instinct she knew instantly that things were wrong and her confusion at K9 being technical was funny too.
I might watch the special features over the weekend and next week is the other epic most looking forward to: Image Of The Fendahl.
My plan for today is to fic some (I did start a new thing oh no) and watch Seapeekay’s 12 hour stream which will hopefully be funAnd include a horror game as well as the event later. (And I hope he’ll be unhinged) Then this weekend I wanna build Lego and maybe watch stuff. (And I wanna do song Saturday I just need my brain in gear a bit, though if it’ll be slam dunk or Wuant focussed I dunno. Or maybe both)
