A simple plan
Sep. 6th, 2024 08:08 pmSo like I mentioned the other day I wanted to see Alien Romulus but my choice was seeing it in town (meaning I’d have to walk back home at 9pm) or going to Birmingham (which I knew would be a money sink).
After some pondering I decided on the latter, going to Birmingham yesterday (so I was out from about 10:20am till 6:15pm), which was a pretty long day.
One thing I was looking for in Birmingham, but not expecting to see, was The Acolyte stuff. I knew there was a Kelnacca comic so there’d at least be that, but also the funkos were meant to be out today so I thought they might be early. I hoped, but didn’t expect, to see the black series figures (cause the uk release is all over the place). I saw none of the funko at all, but to my surprise the first forbidden planet (where I was going to pick up a bag for mum) had most of the first wave! In fact the only one they didn’t have (oddly) was Mae. Of course I had to get my boy Yord (because I both love him and he’s out of stock for preorder everywhere). So I was really happy for that and it made the trip worthwhile. (Plus I also got my friend a thing too which turned out to be rare!)
After that I wandered round a bit, looking in tk at the Halloween stuff (which looked cool and there was a dapper fox art piece) and I got some rainbow stuff for Naryu from another place. Next stop was a Game outlet store and I got another Star Wars figure (Zero from The Mandalorian, for only£5), some Disney cards and two xbox games. Dolmen had been on my list for awhile and No Straight Roads sounded interesting, but my surprise was how much they were. £2. For both of them! (And Dolmen is a series x game too!) I wish I’d looked at the switch games more to see if there was a good one there, but overall I’m pleased with them. Dolmen might be added to my spooky season games next month.
After wandering some more I went to the other Forbidden Planet, where I got the Kelnacca comic, Star Wars magazine (there’s a Yord interview in the next one!) and some cheap funkos (Morgan from Ahsoka, Paz from The Mandalorian and Aipom). Then I hit up hmv and picked up a signed palaye album as a well as some fox stickers (they’re cute but I’m bad with stickers, I dunno where to stick them!).
Then I had some noms, went round the bullring quick (and saw the m and s Halloween stuff, I want the ghost train tin!) and got one of the new Lego dnd figures. (It’s an Aarakocra ranger with a cute pupper! I also got Szass Tam from one I ordered that was here when I got back.)
Then I went to see Alien Romulus. There was a load or trailers before it, some that I saw last week (Venom, Captain America) but there was also Speak No Evil (buff James Mcavoy looks… wrong), the Smile 2 teaser (which I really wanna see), a teaser for The Monkey (I think that’s what it was I’m curious) and Nosteratu (looks very atmospheric). I’m sure I’m missing one cause there was A Lot. (And there was an outlaws ad with a qr code for a ship colour!)
Anyway, thoughts ahoy! Under the cut.

Last night up when I got back I was kinda tired and yet not at the same time? I watched The Swarm then went on Star Wars Outlaws some more. Damnn it’s so easy to get drawn in and lose yourself in it. But ahh I met Lady Qi’ra! I really need to watch Solo again. Also yay there was a gay couple in it too which was nice. And I got sidetracked and went to Akiva cause of them.
I was gonna watch the Quackity stream but cause it got delayed like three times I ended up drifting off which was a shame cause it seemed fun.
Today the tiredness really hit me, my eyes have been achy as has my head a but which is annoying (plus I zoned out and had a nap). Before that though I did work on the Deku tree some more. I have almost finished it now, I think there’s only one more bag of the BOTW one left. It looks very pretty, though I had to dismantle a bit when I realised the mouth was wrong which was a pain. But it looks pretty with all the blossom and I love the lil korok friends who are adorable.
The last BOTW bag is for a few more trees. But there’s also a few other bags which must be for OOT things. So I’m gonna go through them so I can make the stuff from there. There’s gonna be at least the Deku tree sprout, deku babas, skulltula, fairy bow/slingshot and gossip stone.
Also mum’s not been feeling too great. I think she’s hid exactly how bad she’s been feeling cause she had a test at the doctor’s yesterday and they gave her meds instantly. Then today she’s been even worse and I dunno if it’s cause of the infection or the meds. Either way we can’t really do anything cause of the weekend, I just hope she doesn’t make herself worse.
I think that’s all I wanna ramble about, though, as always, I suspect I’m missing something.
