Feb. 18th, 2025 12:54 amSo after the last post my focus was a bit off befor a bit, but in the night I decided to watch the next Horror’s Greatest episode. (Which for me is episode 3)
Horror’s Greatest is a show on Shudder and each episode is about a different horror thing and then talking about films about said thing. The second ep, for instance, was about Giant Monsters which obviously ended up being Godzilla focussed. This ep was about Japanese horror so of course was of great interest to me.
Of course it touched on films I knew about (5 of the 12 films it recommended were ones I’d seen, 3 in the last year including Noroi my beloved!) and there were a few I wanna try and find. Cure and Pulse both looked interesting (I’m sure I’ve been recced pulse) and it renewed my desire to watch Uzumaki so I might watch this week. But there was also one called Kwaiden which is an older film I’d heard mentioned before. It’s an anthology done by one director and he got an abandoned warehouse to film it in (and even painted the backdrops himself!) and honestly the sets look really great so I’m curious about that.
(There was also a film called House which looks so surreal)
Yesterday I ended up reading The ABC Murders. I started reading it after Five Little Pigs (ironically on the train to watch Murder On The Orient Express), intending it to fill the gap between that and Thirteen Problems, the next Read Christie book. However between sickness meaning I didn’t have the focus to read and then depression/anxiety draining me it’s took longer. However over the past week I’ve been reading a few chapters a day, and yesterday I intended to just read a few but I read 13, finishing it so… l thoughts ahoy.
(And yeah it’s not a read Christie book but I’m including it in the tag anyway, partly cause it is a Christie book but also cause I still don’t have Thirteen Problems and likely won’t till next week which is too late to finish in Feb unless I speed read which is unlikely)
( Read more... )
I dunno what I’m gonna read next, I don’t wanna start another Christie book until I have Thirteen Problems (I wanna get the boxset version but now I have to wait) I could start the third book of course (or one of the others) but don’t wanna skip. So instead I might finish the first story in I Want The Twink Obliterated since I’ve found it or I might start Flight Of Icarus instead.
Speaking of Stranger Things I might get back to it tonight. I’ve still not found the Henry Funko I have which is bothering me so much. I wasn’t gonna get any others cause of the gig next week (more soon about that) but then Funko had a sale and I looked and… dmanit they had the exclusive bloody Steve (and a different Eddie and Mike) so I had to get them. I’m just glad the selection was small, the US site had three to four times as much.
Next week it’s the Set It Off gig and there is a little anxiety about it, but mostly cause my phone is awol. I’m more annoyed at the at cause I want the SIM card to transfer to a new one (I caved and decided I’d need a gig phone after the sleep token gig) but can I find it? Nope. I have ordered a free sim which came the over say but… ugh. So yeah I need to set that up before I go.
I’m also waiting to see what the merch is. While the tour started in Europe a few weeks ago I’ve not seen anything posted. The band did post a vid backstage which did show some of the merch but it was just a quick flash look. (None of it seemed too interesting though so…)
I’m also trying to decide if I go a bit earlier to see something at the Odeon. Some of the films for next week have been put up but I’m gonna wait and see if it’s the full times. So far there’s three films that’s a possibility: The Monkey (which I saw a trailer of but I’m not sure about), Hearteyes (which I know nothing about but I’m curious, I might lookup a trailer but it only has one showing listed) and the new Captain America. The latter Iconsidered seeing with mum but between us being sick and money we’d not arranged anything. Truthfully i wanna see it cause Harrison Ford is in it, but I’ve seen mixed thoughts on it (and, of course, there’s that Israeli character being added but maybe she’s been cut?).
Has anyone seen/will be seeing these to give thoughts?
If I don’t see a film I might just go later and only go in hmv (to see if they’ve got a tee) and the game outlet (to see what they have).
Lastly health update. Mum went with her library friend to drop off her friends prescription and she asked if they’d heard anything about my results. Apparently they got them on the 4th (and just… didn’t call to let us know despite asking??) so I’m having a phone appointment this afternoon in about an hour or two. Hopefully that’ll ease my mind.
Other than that I’m hoping to watch the latest High Potential and maybe Stranger Things, but we’ll see.
