‘VHS tapes? Aren’t they extinct?’
Aug. 10th, 2025 03:10 pmThe past few days have been pretty bleh. Mostly it’s cause mum decided to come down late Thursday night to complain and bemoan stuff. Ts pretty clear from that, and her moaning earlier that she’s not interested in going out next week to Birmingham like planned (despite it being her idea!) so it’s likely not going to happen.
But yeah the whole complaining a mix of complaining about her friend coming, mums on indecisiveness and then my own lack of energy ended up with my mood lowering even more than it already was. I was about to settle down to watch Hell Of A Summer but ugh, she completely ruined the mood so I couldn’t do anything.
The next day was spent upstairs, my brain almost completely switched off.
The Kerrmag zines I’d ordered did come but I didn’t have the focus for them. I’ve still not got the code for Micheal Clifford’s album (I thought it might be included with the zine for some reason) but I saw people had issues with the signed version which I missed out on. (It was meant to have a card signed by Micheal and Awsten, but none of them are signed by Awsten so people are understandably mad)
It did eventually improve enough at night so that I headed down (only after mum had gone up) and watched Hell Of A Summer. It was decent enough summer camp slasher fare, though itI half expected Finn Wolfhard to be a victim (after all these things usually end with most of the cast dead but a surprising amount survived). Also one of the other guts was cute too.
Yesterday again I spent it mostly upstairs. This time I took some stuff up, though I didn’t touch any of my reading material. I did go on Donkey Kong Bananza and did a decent chunk of the Tempest Layer at least until my brain tuned out again. (Though I at least watched some Murder She Wrote eps and some of shoto’s spooky Saturday stream)
Night time I watched Miss Marple (Sleeping Murder which was pretty good, then Men In Black International (I’d seen it before and it was a pretty fun time) and then Barbarian. I’d not seen it before and I went in pretty blind. I’m not gonna say much, but I liked the opening third. I’m less sure about the rest though.
Today’s so far been watching Phineas And Ferb (hence the title), 7 Wonders (the 5 app finally worked so I could see it) and Wednesday. I didn’t expect but loved the use of Apocalyptica and I still love the cute barista guy.
Other things
*I saw that there’s a kinktober list (and there’s a dead dove one too) will I try and do it? Who knows. I have my own table I’ve not touched so is adding another a good idea? I dunno, I guess we’ll see
*I have fallen down a 5 Seconds Of Summer reading hole. I really need to do something with them
*also for some reason I’m getting a load of kudos again what’s up with that?
*I was gonna sort through the MCC cards but didn’t cause of lack of focus ugh
*I saw this and wanna know where it’s from cause it’s wild for Ray to describe a show as being like ‘getting fucked’
*Twitter’s age verification is finally ‘working’ I say working because it doesn’t. The age estimation selfie doesn’t work so it just wants an ID a which… nope. There’s no way I’m trusting it with that (not that I know where one actually is). Ugh I hate this.
Anyway gonna maybe sort icons before DND and then who knows? I’m hoping to see Weapons this coming week and start Alien Earth (and hopefully get back to Hell Motel). And I wanna fic and get back to reading Clown In A Cornfield but we’ll see.
I do wanna try tonight to watch All The Gods In The Sky. I don’t really know anything about it but the poster made me curious. We’ll see if I have the focus for subtitles.
