Like a house on fire

shadowhiveSo it’s been a little while since the last post.
Sunday night I decided I wanted to watch something, so I watched the scant Ambassadors Of Death special features I decided to watch a film. I was gonna watch Gods Of The Deep, something I’d seen on Amazon prime a few months back, but alas it was gone in the intervening time.
So I decided to see what Longlegs was like but I managed only 12 minutes before deciding that, nope I wasn’t feeling it. I dunno why but I just didn’t vibe with it. Instead I watched but on Lore, which was an anthology film that just came out last year. It had four people telling ‘scary stories’ around a camp fire and the result was four wildly different stories. It was entertaining enough (especially since the first had a guy from Primeval and the third had Rufus Hound as a creep) but I loved how the tones between there were kinda wildly varied. The first two played more serious while the second two kinda went off the rails.
(For context they are: 1- a guy getting chased by criminals ends up in a warehouse, where a monster stalks them. 2- a mother and son move into a house and there’s a haunted music player. 3- a man is going to sleep with another woman but it turns into an occult ritual, 4- a midnight cinema screening turns into a slasher film)
Then I decided to watch. The first Video Nasty episode and it was… ok. Like it didn’t feel like how I thought it was going to go and I was ready to check out of it until the last scene had two people in plague Doctor outfits attacking someone. Like that concept I’m down for, but the rest felt a bit… eh. I might see what ep 2 is like and if it builds on that last scene it’ll be interesting but I’m not too hopefully.
Sunday ended up being… ugh. Around lunchtime one of my headaches started and it was pretty bad which was annoying cause it was a DND day so I was more checked out then I would be. Unfortunately the headaches lingered a few days, on and off but very annoying.
Monday and Tuesday were the last No Dice eps which were pretty good (and the immovable rod came in clutch again who would’ve thought it would be so useful?) though it’s so sad it’s the last one. I really hope they do more dnd cause they clearly all enjoy it (and Owen is a really great dm) It’s also a bit sad it ended on an inconclusive note too. Like there was a last scene right at the end where the party was given a choice and they split into two groups over it which made complete sense in character and resulted in a complete impasse. (They could undo the damage done by the big bad, but as a result they would lose all their memories as to what happened.) But like I said it made sense for everyone in character to have opposing views and not budging (plus it had overrun already so was quite late). I did start a little thing based on it so we’ll see if I feel it’s good enough to post.
Tuesday I ended up listening a Doctor Who audio which was Dead Media where the 12th doctor was hosting a podcast (obviously about an alien encounter). It was really fun and the guy who played the doctor was really great at it so I’d definitely recommend it for anyone it that likes 12.
The bulk of the Sumerian music order came that afternoon so now I have Paradise City to watch (so maybe I need to find American Satan but I can’t seem to find a release anywhere, anyone know where it can be found?) and I spend yesterday ripping all the cds, putting them on the pod thing so I could listen to them today. I have to admit I really enjoyed House On Fire’s art and the tarot style stickers with it. (And there’s the vinyls though I didn’t even get to see them before they were squirrelled away with the rest.)
(Also ugh the government seems run by such soulless pricks it pisses me off but I’m containing anger from here)
Today was a trip to pick mum’s meds up and ugh, of course it decided to go insanely warm. Like by the end of it sweat was dripping off me which, ugh. Thankfully mum’s meds were there (and Naryu’s flea/worming treatments) and I picked up a few things. Some cheap Lego sets, a copy of the odyssey, a Pokémon book and Star Wars art thing. But ugh it was so exhausting due to the heat.
Also there were so many cute lil Guinea pigs and I love them all so much.
When I got back the Doctor Who magazine came which I did read some of and the new episodes sound like they’ll be really great! Lux even has hand drawn animation so that’s fun! I am really puzzled that the Savages (which came today too) has a 90 minute making of. Most making of’s are between 20-45 minutes (and I think the most are an hour long) and I’m just puzzled how a first doctor episode (where, sadly, most people involved have passed) can be so long.
There was also a nintendo direct thing today which did have a few pretty fun looking games, but I feel the last reveal, a new Tomodatchi life after about 10 years, is gonna be the main focus. (And also with the switch 2 direct next week too it kinda felt that exciting things will be there)
Anyway now I’m gonna flop a bit cause I still feel so exhausted. Though I might go on Superliminal later, which I started last night and is a pretty intruiging puzzle game though it can be tricky.
I’m sure I missed something obvious I wanted to mention, which will come to mind later no doubt (or maybe not at all)
