Dugga Dugga doo!

The rest of Sunday ended up being kinda fuzzy, mostly due to the warm and having cider during Rogue One so my focus was a lil off. (And then my laptop was all ‘update! There’s an update!’ During dungeons and dodongos which was an annoyance)

In the night I started Code Of Silence which was pretty good. Then I watched the Quatermass Experiment cause I saw it on Amazon prime and I’d seen it mentioned a lot of the last Who boxset. It did start pretty promising (and had someone I recognised from the Marple films) though damn it did lose something as it went on.

I found it funny that the wife of the surviving astronaut complained he was being tested on in the lab, wanted him in the hospital to get treated instead and the almost immediately plotted to get him out of there to take him home. Like girl what are you even doing??

Monday was uneventful for the most part (other than fic reading woo!)ut I did unlock General Grievous on Fortnite, yay! He looks so cool! I also won a code for Shovel Knight dig, which I had a go on last night and I can tell it’s one of those games that’s gonna be tricky as hell to get through but it should be fun to do some runs.

Tuesday I was at the library to cover Joy, but I mostly just read the Seven Dials Mystery some more (and there’s already been another body!). I love that Lord Catterham is back from Chimneys, there’s something so funny about him and how he’s despairing about everything. I might read more after this post

There was an announcement that James Marriott was gonna be doing a signing tour for his album, which made me glad I’d held off getting it. After a scare (the site said tickets were unavailable😭) I did manage to get it so I’ll be off to the Birmingham date, yay! I got the cd, though I might get the vinyl on the day too.

Last night after A LOT of delays, I was finally able to get back to Stranger Things, yippe! Annoyingly I misclicked and so skipped the previously (which would’ve been a helpful reminder but I couldn’t seem to get it back) again it was essentially four plot lines (until two of them came together right at the end).

First the simplest, the boys in the van trying to find Eleven, which felt like it would be more comic relief until Will and Mike’s talk which was so obviously Will saying how he really felt to Mike only substituting Eleven’s name. I just wanted to give him a hug.

Then there was Hopper, Murray and Joyce escaping the Russian prison which had a creepy moment of them in a lab with Demogorgon’s in tubes which gave me vibes of Alien Resurrection (which also had Winona in so surely it was intentional). I did half expect the glasses to smash though.

Then there was Eleven dealing with her past memories and the doctors messing her up and trying to stop her from going. Like her ‘Papa’ (I’ve forgot his name) is such an ass trying to control her, threatening Owen’s, drugging her and then trying to get her to forgive him as he’s dying. I’m glad she didn’t.

Then there’s everyone else back in Hawkins. Damn that sportsball captain is such a dick intimidating Nancy like that. I think she should have hit him with hammers (or shot him since she had a gun).I feel their whole plane is gonna go so wrong though, like they just think they can walk up to Vecna in a trance and kill him. Nah that ain’t happening at all is it?

But also! EDDIE WHY DID YOU CALL STEVE BIG BOY? Like he is so absolutely blatant about wanting him damn. I love that for him though.

I do wanna see what happens (though how everyone is gonna get back to Hawkins to be of any use feels doubtful!) so I hope I’ll get to see it the next few days. The only issue is the length of the finale is over 2 hours so my focus has to be good for it. (So it might be Thursday or a Friday)

Today we went down the road to pick mum’s meds up. I had just hoped to go slow to make it quick but no, mum wanted to go to cause Sainsburys clothes had a sale on which… ugh ended up being so annoying. At least I got some cheap things and the Lego Star Wars magazine I was hoping to get and mum’s friend was there and offered us a ride home.

When we got back the new Doctor Who magazine was here, which came with a free book of Ghe Wheel In Soace which I might have to read cause the ep hasn’t been released cause it’s missing. I just read the preview of the finale eps which didn’t reveal much (there’s not even a cast list!) but the synopsis is what I’ve seen people theorising).

After lunch a storm rolled in with hapeavy rain and thunder, but sadly it didn’t last too long which is a shame.

Tonight’s plan is the new series of The Chelsea Detective, an Agatha Christie thing (with David Suchet!) and then it depends how tired I am.
