We’re going on an egg hunt

shadowhiveSo the last few days have been eventful so it’s time, again, for a general post.
So on Sunday I started watching The Residence. I saw a trailer for it on twitter about a month or so ago and I was instantly intrigued. It’s a murder mystery and someone has gotten killed at a large house while a party is going on downstairs. Which yeah, sounds like dozens of other murder mysteries, except this is no ordinary large house: it’s the white house.
I watched the first two episodes and, so far, it’s really great so far! I love the detective as she’s so quirky and has absolutely no respect for any of the guys trying to tell her what to do (or what not to do). The cast is also wild as there’s been a lot of people I’ve recognised (The FBI agent from Ant Man and Wandavision, Tilly from Star Trek Discovery, Jane Curtain from 3rd Rock from the sun, one of the guys from OG Charmed, hughJackman and Kylie Minogue! Oh and the guy that plays Moff Gideon in The Mandalorian is in it too.) I really love it and wanna watch more cause I wanna know what happened!
The rest of Sunday was kinda low energy but I did end up starting a game pass game, Planet Of Lana. It came to gamepass last year and I wanted to play it cause it looks so pretty but alas I got sidetracked. It really is so pretty though and there’s a cute lil guy called Mui who is like a lil black cat thing. It’s pretty good so far, though some parts are tricky.
I found out on insta that there’s gonna be an indie horror short film thing at a cinema in Birmingham (here’s the list) and I’m kinda tempted to check it out even though I dunno exactly where the cinema is and it’s on a library day. We’ll see if I do it (they’re also doing full showings of Twin Peaks which is kinda cool but they’re on Sundays)
There wasn’t gonna be any plans Monday, but then when I was looking at the tv guide I saw there was a film I’d wanted to see for awhile on. It was The Private Life Of Sherlock Holmes and I’d heard of it cause there’s a section at Loch Ness (which resulted in a prop being lost to the loch only to be found again a few years back). And honestly? It was a wild ride. It had Christopher Lee as Mycroft an opening story mostly unconnected to the rest (with Sherlock implying to someone that he was gay and Watson was his lover), a finale at Loch Ness and a closing scene that was so sad. (It’s on Sky Arts again Saturday afternoon.j I’m so glad I spottted the listing, though also so sad when I looked up later that there was intended to be more scenes to it but they got cut.
Since money, finally, turned up I decided to go to sainsburys this morning to look for eggs. As I posted on insta I did find some, in sainsburys and Aldi, but there really weren’t many options and it was mainly more expensive eggs left. M and S’s food also didn’t have anything which was a shame as I wanted to try some of their hot cross buns. I did get a lil Lego Yoshi and the new radio times from sainsburys though.
(Also Pets at home had the cutest lil Guinea pigs they were so adorable😭)
I did manage to get a Lindt eggfor mum though as thanks for all the issues, though the box could easily have been half the size it was. We also had dominos, which was good though I’m sure the price has gone up since we last had some.
Also today Elder Scrolls Oblivion has been remastered and was out today! It’s on game pass too so I might try it sometime but it’s 120GB thst means I have to figure out a way to make space (damn xbox and memory card things being so small)
Also today the local cinema put up the Episode III showing times and it looks like it’s only from Friday-Sunday which is a bit annoying. It’s also annoying it’s only one showing, 3:45 which means I can get there on bus, but have to walk back if I go. I’ll see what the weather is like, but I know Saturday is out cause of Doctor Who.
Anyway! I think that’s everything but I’m probably missing something super obvious.

Date: 2025-04-23 12:41 am (UTC)Your Residence experience of recognising lots of the cast is the same one I had with the old show Harper's Island - the vast majority of that cast have been in others of my favourites, and spotting a Harper's Island actor is practically a drinking game for me at this point.

Date: 2025-04-23 08:35 pm (UTC)I think there's probably only about 3 characters from Harper's Island that I haven't so far spotted in anything else - for some reason though I do seem to have this mental block over Maggie the wedding planner. While she does wear a wig for Granny in Once Upon a Time, she didn't for Grandma Ruth in School Spirits so I should have got her there. I remember once trying to explain it as "Imagine Laurel from Arrow is marrying Walsh from Once Upon a Time, Smee from OUAT and Aleister from Bitten are best men, Bobby Singer is the town sheriff...".and if I had that same conversation today, rather than 7 years ago, I could give an even longer list.

Date: 2025-04-25 09:31 am (UTC)Oh yeah! I definitely feel you sometimes I’ll see people and be sure I recognise their voice or face and have to look on IMDb for a reminder. But it’s always so funny to see people around like that. It’s good though that so many from it have gone on to do so much!
(R though now I’m wondering if Harper’s Island is anywhere to rewatch sometime)
