It’s trying to kill us
May. 26th, 2026 09:29 amSo as anyone in the uk can attest, we’ve been hit by a sudden heatwave this weekend, which is so completely and utterly draining (plus it’s making me feel so melty). It shows no sign of leaving which also sucks so I feel this week will be mostly avoiding heat and staying inside (until Friday anyway)
As such the weekend has been mostly uneventful. I had veggie sushi cause we got avocados when we went to town, which is always nice. I watched Blithe Spirit on sky arts which was fun.
Then we watched Look Who’s Boating, a special feature on the Doctor Who boxset which was fun. It saw the fifth doctor, Nyssa and Tegan’s actors go on a boating trip, which was funny. They did a road trip thing on one of the other boxsets and this was basically a successor to that (with added cooking, plus a doctors table type segment at the end) and it was a fun time. In the night I watched the Tales Of The Tardis version of Earthshock which was pretty good. It’s still one of the best fifth doctor eps but poor Adric.
I’m almost finished with the special features now, there’s just an escape room (I watched the other one last night) and an interview with Adric’s actor and I’m done…
Which is good timing cause the new Doctor Who Movie came yesterday. (Though it got delivered next door by mistake.) it’s the 4K steelbook which is very fancy. I dunno why I decided on that I don’t usually bother with steelbook or 4ks but… ah well. I’ll probably watch Saturday.
And speaking of Who I did listen to an audio while I was melting, Time In Office, which was a fun time. And appropriate cause it’s set during a gap in Frontios (it’s funny Tegan’s made Earth Ambassador).
But other than that nothing exciting, though Death Valley and Brokenwood Mysteries are back, both of which are fun times. (Though the latter means iplayering last nights springwatch).
Gaming wise I’ve not done much, just Tomodachi Life (there’s finally a second child), some Fortnite and the pad games (I need to focus more on magic arena, I keep falling behind on it). And dreamlight cause there’s a star path I’m trying to speed finish.
I also started Silverweed Road and this guy in the first story is such a jerk I’m praying on his downfall, which feels inevitable
This morning I did submit the uni postponement thing so hopefully that goes ok. Cause ugh there was no way I could actually do the assignment, not with this heat coming through and my anxiety brain being terrible. Part of me is hoping to hear soon but also… eh my heart hasn’t been in this uni course. Part cause of the noises making my head worse and the medical stuff but also… I dunno.
I digress.
Plans this week are to finish the Who ray stuff (tonight), start going through the blu ray pile (tomorrow), welcome to Derry (Thursday, depending), Doctor Who Movie watch (Saturday) and dnd (Sunday). I also wanna watch something on shudder and prime, plus more Tales Of 85/Amazing Digital Circus (and I still need to watch more Heated Rivalry and The Beauty).
Friday should, hopefully, be the trip to the cinema for Backrooms. The listings aren’t live though so I dunno what the second film might be. I’ve pretty much given up on Passenger (from what I’ve seen it’s bad sadly) unless an afternoon showing is added. I might watch Mandalorian and Grogu again if nothing else. At least the cinema will be nice and cool!
Masters Of The Universe is getting two preview showing days next week (Wednesday and Thursday) so I might see it before the planned Friday I was aiming for, but we’ll see. I’m so hyped for it, it has such Guardians type vibes and yeah He Man is hot.
I also wanna try and write more but ugh, I’ve had such trouble for months ficcing.
My problem tends to be I’ll get an idea and a burst of creative energy, writing a decent chunk in one go (until I either get tired or something else comes up) and then I just… don’t go back to it. I just can’t seem to get back in the zone which is so frustrating and then the cycle repeats. I just wanna finish some of my WIPs, not constantly add to them but I just… can’t and it’s so incredibly frustrating.
Ugh.
Anyway I’m just gonna flop some more now and then wait on the food delivery.
