shadowhiveSo last post I mentioned the Mandalorian finale and, oh boy. If you like Star Wars any amount and have not seen it yet, you absolutely should, and if you have, just ahhh!
The weekend were pretty lazy days. I’m glad Bill won on Strictly and I watched Muppet Christmas Carol on Disney+. I’m still puzzled/disappointed that it misses out a song (Love Is Gone) when Scrooge is in the past. Yeah it’s a really sad song but it provides a nice counterpoint to the final song. Even so, it’s still a film I watch every year. I watched it Saturday cause there’s a few things on.
Sunday was the finale of His Dark Materials and... I dunno. It felt like it had been a load of build up and then it just ended like that. Of course there’s another series coming and this one was supposed to have an ep that was Asriel centric but COVID.
I did start a fic a few days ago, but I’ve not even looked at it since. We’ll see I guess.
Monday was a purposely lazy day, mostly because I knew today was gonna be annoying. However my qwertee tees came from the sale. Yay Among Us Pokemon tee and The Child tee. I didn’t even Xbox game properly last night (or Sunday) instead just being flop and zz.
Naryu was naughty though. She’s clawed open two presents (thankfully not damaged the contents) but still.
Today has been a tiring day. Before that though I went to put money on the gas card so we’d be all set... and I’ve promptly managed to lose it. I know I had it when I left the store (I even have the receipt) but it’s just... gone. I’ve just looked around and can’t find it. It seems I can get a replacement (even with the credit cause I have proof) but just... ugh.
When I got back there was a card fromturps Which was shiny yay! We also had two things come from people we’ve not heard from in awhile, so mum’s been scrambling for the details for one. However they were dropped off just before we went out so couldn’t.
We had to go to Sainsbury’s today pick up a Christmas food order, as well as get a few things. Thankfully, there wasn’t a queue to get in or pick it up and there was plenty of fruit and veg, so we managed to get pretty much everything we went for (although they didn’t have the Lego I hoped for, or the Doctor Who yearbook). I’m baffled, though, at how much it was. It was more than a regular shop and I couldn’t see why that was. Maybe cause mum had meat and booze (and Krispy Kreme) but even so.
We also had to pick up food for the pup and they had a unicorn outfit so I had to get it.
Mum had suggested we get dominos so we ended up doing that which was nice. I ate most while watching DS9 and then I had a doze.
Tomorrow is gonna be a rest day, though I’m gonna pop to the co op for the last few bits since my money goes in early and then mum wants to cut and bath Naryu which I don’t see going well. So we’ll likely end up wet or clawed.
I hope everyone has a nice Holidays/Christmas/new year. I hope everyone stays safe too especially cause this year. I’m just gonna be hunkering down and building some Lego.

Date: 2020-12-23 08:54 am (UTC)Every couple of years when the internet remembers The Lost Song~ from Muppet Christmas Carol it blows my mind. The VHS copy I had growing up still had the song in it and I never knew anything different, until a few years ago. Now I have a region 1 DVD that has the song and a region 2 DVD that doesn't, and the latter shocks me every time I watch it, haha.
Have a restful and fun holiday!

Thanks! you too!

Why did they cut that song? The finale has a reprise, like you said. I'm glad we have the old version on DVD at my dad's house.

Honestly I don’t really understand why. Apparently it’s because it ‘slowed things down’ but if that was the case why did some regions get it? I don’t understand

"Apparently it’s because it ‘slowed things down’ but if that was the case why did some regions get it?"
Uh, yeah. That's why it comes at the depressing midpoint of the story. That's how pacing is supposed to work.

Date: 2020-12-23 10:31 pm (UTC)Secondly, The Child was referred to as ‘baby Yoda’ as a nickname (and, since his introduction in season 1 there were questions about his origins, was he a Yoda clone? His kid? Just another of his species?) so there was a lot of speculation
Season 2 answers some of that. The a Child has a name, it’s Grogu. He was being trained as a Jedi at the temple on Coruscant when order 66 happened. Someone got him out of the temple to safety (it’s not been revealed who that someone is) and he’s been hiding ever since. It’s unclear if he is related to Yoda, but he’s obviously one of Yoda’s species.
The Mandalorian found him at the start of season 1. He was sent on a mission by an imperial to get the ‘asset’. The imperial remnant has extracted his blood for as yet unknown reasons. The Mandalorian rescued him from the empire in season one because he couldn’t leave him with them and ever since has been on the run (and tasked to reunite him with his kind, which he managed in season 2)

Glad your card got there, as you know, it's one of two that did.

Aww I’m glad it did. Hope the rest get there
