shadowhiveI have no idea why I’m awake so early, but I’m kinda glad cause I saw Blue are gonna be on Sunday brunch, so I might watch the whole thing (most likely +1 ing it cause I’m not awake enough to move much less watch anything in an hour.
Friday night I ended up feeling really drained. I meant to watch ghost files as usual but about half way through I just zoned out. I paused it, then ended up just… dozing on the sofa.
I woke a few hours later and Ranboo had decided to post pics of his outfit for a Halloween party and I honestly thought I’d dreamed it because it was bloody, showing skin and included something lacy (that seems to be from Victoria’s Secret). Honestly I still can’t believe it’s real.
Yesterday was the Birmingham trip which proved to be a mix of things. We ended up leaving later than I would have liked but the train did turn up which was a plus (I’d said to myself if there was issues this time I’d just scrap it). Also (gasp!) there’s a new ticket machine at the station which means it was working for once! (Oddly the sign at the station was still acting up though) I did spent the trip finally reading some of the last lesser known monsters and I hope to get back to reading more soon
First stop was the first forbidden planet (which is called worlds apart but still comes under forbidden planet, just international. Ye it’s confusing). They’d tweeted they had the free Halloween comics so I knew they’d had them but, bar the one at the till, they were tucked away and I missed them until I asked (usually on free comic book day they’re in one of two places, this was neither). They had 4 of the 6 comics and, most important, they had the Star Wars one, woo! They also had a trick r treat Sam funko which I’d been wanting for ages soo had to get him (and I got a dice roll discount woo!)
We had a look in tk and the bullring but nothing really struck me, though mum had body shop stuff and I was able to use the wi if to go on Pokémon go. Some of the new Lego sets were on display in the store which were pretty cool, though I have to agree with the review the new Christmas set is disappointing. (I did also get a make and fake Frankenstein head to bring home though)
Next was smiths to look for the new who chronicles (they didn’t have it) but we stopped at the bank first. Mum had some cheques to pay in but… the machine didn’t like the first one we tried then refused to give it back so we needed a guy to get it. Sigh.
I popped in cex to get event horizon which they had still (woo!) and also picked up fallen kingdom since it was £3 (even though I’m sure I’ll still find it eh and sad). Then we went to Poundland where we got a meal deal and some other things.
Last stop was the other forbidden planet and I hadn’t expected to get anything there but ended up draining what little remained of my money. I went downstairs first and found some Resident Evil books for 99p (two film adaptions, two original stuff) and also found the new Who Chronicles which I could’ve easily missed. My bane ended up being the Star Wars stuff on the ground floor. I got one of the new figures that was reduced to half off (Boba Fett from the Mandolorian) and there was also one of the rare micro galaxy squadron’s (which is 1 or 15000 and is thus hard to get). Alas in draining the money it caused issues paying which… ugh. But I managed it. (Also bonus, they had one of the Halloween comics there too, which was a Junji Ito preview thing so I picked it up, it was the only one of the Halloween comics there though)
After eating we went to the museum for the cinema exhibit which… was honestly disappointing. I feel it was hyped up a bit and it ended up pretty much being just one room, which was a shame. More interesting was the table just outside where there were people showing off local finds. We had a little wander round the rest of the museum but there’s still parts closed off which is a shame.
The last stop was Tesco, which wasn’t meant to be as mum wanted to go to the m and s. Alas Tesco had litter which has become hard to find. The only issue? It was just being put out and was at the bottom of the cart thing so we had to wait a for the poor kind staff to get it. Oh did I say only issue because no. When I went to the till I had a mild panic because I couldn’t find my wallet, and I think in trying to get it I busted my earphones (one of them has vanished completely) I did find it but the panic… ugh. The other issue is that litter is heavy so we couldn’t go anywhere else but the station.
When I got home I was so tired but there was two things at home. First, the palaye album (which I need to put on my pod thing but I’m too drained right now) and the elder scrolls loot crate. I’d thought, from my last email with them that they’d cancelled it. Turns out no (or maybe it’s one of the backed up ones I’m not sure). It was actually so disappointing though, the box was pretty much empty and there was just a pin badge, socks, a replica thing and a cute cat plushie. Sigh.
I watched some of strictly (Halloween is always the best one and Craig’s outfit wa on point) but the egg lore was on during it so I ended up watching that. It was so pretty and you can tell Bad was inspired by Quackity’s stuff to go so hard on it. (I also liked how he got Eryn and Seapeekay in.) there was a lot of cool stuff in it and I do wanna know what’s next (even though I am puzzled by some things and hoped foolish would be in it)
I did think about watching It or the exorcist since I saw they were on tv and I’d seen neither but I was too drained. I ended up doing a little dead by daylight and host files then just… drifting off.
Today is gonna be a lazy day. I might watch some spooky stuff tonight after the Tutankhamen thing on bbc2 and then… I dunno.

Date: 2022-10-30 03:25 pm (UTC)It sounds like you had a half and half day, some good and some disappointing stuff. I enjoyed the photos of your haul you posted on insta. But man, cat litter is getting so hard to find. Last time I actually found some in B&M I got four bags, but of course, it's easier for us due to having the car. It must be really hard carrying it on the bus.
Sorry your loot crate was disappointing, though.

Date: 2022-10-31 01:35 am (UTC)Yeah I got everything I intended yo get but some other parts were so annoying. Aww that’s good! Oh I’m glad it’s not just me! Yeah we usually get it with the shop but it’s lacking and nowhere has seemed yo have it. It was hard carrying it on the train and back home but at least we had a seat
Yeah it really was. There’s usually something better than socks (a tee, a hoodie) so it just felt… lacking. I honestly thought something was missing until I saw someone say the same. I may send them a message but loot crate is one thing I didn’t transfer the pass over yet
