Mankind has been used!
Apr. 2nd, 2024 05:52 pmAfter a double song Saturday is a general post time.
It’s starting, as feels often the case these days, with a health update. The past few days have been back to being iffy. I’ve been drained and woke up unsettled, even having a brief temperature which was annoying. My head’s been achy too, as have my eyes, which sometimes feel light sensitive which is annoying.
It’s so annoying because my focus has been all over the place. I was able to do a few things I’d hoped to do over the weekend but other things have been so illusive. Like reading. Or ficcing, which had been something I’d hoped to work on but alas.
Anyway.
This weekend was easter, which isn’t something I celebrate other than getting a few chocolate eggs (though this time it’s felt like we didn’t have many). Though it’s felt… odd. Maybe it’s because it seems early this year, but it definitely seems like there was nothing on tv that was interesting (I remember there used to be at least one detective thing or specials of shows but it felt like there was nothing).
And of course because ‘christian’s’ floating holiday has been on transgender day of visibility this year there’s been people throwing a fit and using it as an excuse to be transphobic which has been fucking awful to see (followed by a certain other person stirring it up too).
It’s not all been bad, on Saturday (which was probably my best focus day), I built up the Lego Invisible Hand which looks cool. There was also mail in the form of the new Doctor Who magazine (though I didn’t have the focus to read it) and a tee shirt showed up. The trouble is I don’t remember ordering the tee and have no idea where it came from so I’m very puzzled.
On Sunday I watched the first ep of 3 Body Problem and I’m curious to see how it’s gonna go, though it didn’t exactly start in the way I expected it to. I dunno when I’ll watch more though, but hopefully soon enough I won’t have lost the thread.
The rest of the day I got pretty drained and lost focus, though I did have enough to watch No Dice which was fun and next ep is gonna be a heist!
Yesterday was also draining for some reason. Set It Off was gonna livestream a gig but cause it was at 2am I decided it was best not to (especially which how my head been and how it was livestream only without an option to watch later).
However, I did continue the Who ray run with Image Of The Fendahl. At the start of this rewatch I said there were two eps I was really looking forward to seeing, one being Horror Of Fang Rock and this was the second. There’s a lot to love here with the spooky setting and the gothic vibe, I mean it’s set in a priory! There’s a mysterious skull! And there’s a cult in the basement! (And a slight homoerotic sexual sptension between two scientists) Plus there’s a witchy old lady with a completely different vibe to the one in the Daemons.
I love the design of the Fendahl, both the Fendahleen creatures (big and small!) and the Fendahl core which is such a cool design. It’s just a shame they’re not in it more (mostly confined to the last ep). And there’s some unanswered questions and mysteries. (There’s a time fissure that just happens to be in the village? The time lords messed up planet 5 and erased knowledge of its existence? Why is the skull that started it all human shaped?)
But Leela is awesome again (as always!) and I just love the whole vibe of it. It’s one I might have to ep rewatch when my focus is a bit better. (K9 doesn’t feature but that’s due to his joining being so last minute he couldn’t be added to the plot)
It’d be interesting to see the Fendahl again, it’s kinda a shame they haven’t been back, though I guess it’s because the story made them out to be so powerful. (However they are in a Torchwood audio, which I got in the sale awhile back so I’m gonna listen to it soon now I’ve watched the ep.)
I had meant to take my pad in today to be looked at but was much too drained ugh.
My head is starting to ache again now so I’m gonna rest some.
