He had a growth spurt

Before getting onto the crux of the post I did get the uni email yesterday… at almost 6, right when I was waiting on dinner to finish cooking. When I did check later the info was mostly vague and, of the mentioned options… none had a time limit that ended today. They said the dates were on or just after the assessment which is next week. Ugh. I’m gonna look them over properly tomorrow.

The past two nights have ended up with me going tired/headachy. So the most I did each night (instead of much) was one ep of Amazing Digital Circus (which was good, though ugh it seems fandom has harassed the creator which sucks) and Tales from 85 (a Dustin and Steve centric ep ahh!)

(I also read the SFX Tales From 85 article on the way home today and… they repeatedly called Lucas Caleb like ???)

But anyway!

Cut to the main of the post which is today, which was a trip to town to see The Mandalorian and Grogu. I decided it would be best to go to the 9:07 train only to get there and find that the trains were only every hour (apparently due to strikes). Apparently over the course of the day the trains got worse because by the time it came to coming back it was a replacement bus service that didn’t even stop at stations (it missed a person at the station we got off at).

So yeah we had to wait for half an hour longer. Plus it was really warm which was… ugh.

Still the train did come so we got to the cinema in time for the first showing! But by the time I got there I was frazzled from the train (plus full from breakfast mum insisted I have) so I didn’t even look at the stuff they had. They had the AT-AT but I didn’t see anyone in our showing with it (some did have the popcorn tins, which they also had). I’m hoping they have them next week when I go to Backrooms and Passenger.

(Side note I had considered going back tonight for Passenger but noped that when I saw there were train issues. Knowing my luck I’d be stuck in town all night)

Anyway. Trailers were all new to me (bar Disclosure day but I’d only seen half) and all have made me wanna see. There was Spiderman, Supergirl, Disclosure Day and Masters Of The Universe.

Thoughts on The Mandalorian under the cut (between -‘s so people can avoid spoilers).

Next cinema trip should be to see Backrooms on Friday, or Passenger sooner if it’s only showing for a week (hopefully it won’t be but then Shelby oaks and whistle only had tiny runs so…)

Post film we wandered round town going in a few places. The main thing was Primark and I found they had a Sleep Token tee! So of course I had it (they have three more on the site, I might order them). Surprisingly, while checking sizes, I found there was also a Bullet For My Valentine one which was a surprise.

After wandering some more places we headed to Burger King for noms. I did overdo it a bit on the food (the meal+ loaded fries + a sundae) but I am kicking myself a bit. We got the mandalorian cups but when I just checked both were ones I had (I thought I’d at least got a third). But damn the lady checked what they had and there was a miscommunication. If I’d have left the cups while she checked I could have had the blue (and best) one but because I took them I couldn’t just switch. Damnit. She did suggest I get another meal and take it home, but in this weather? I was gonna eBay them but since I’m still missing one other…

(If anyone knows someone that has doubles and would be willing to trade, I have the green and brown ones)

After that was coming home on the bus which had no air conditioning so made us more tired. So now I’m home and am very flop from the heat and carrying fruit mum got from a stall.

I dunno what I’m gonna do tonight after the flower show. I was gonna get back to The Pitt but if me (or mum) am too tired I might just flop or watch something else or… who knows.
