shadowhiveAs I mentioned in the round up post, it’s September already. How did that happen?
The first week has been all over the place, not helped by my mood and energy pretty much collapsing on Wednesday. And not helped by mum deciding the follow morning that the chest of drawers she said we should get the following Sunday (from someone moving house and getting rid of stuff) should be moved. Which included moving another set of drawers and then moving the new one upstairs which was, of course, exhausting.
Midna has also been intent on staying on me whenever she can. She sits in my spot when I come down too which is sweet. However her being on me can be a problem, cause I never wanna disturb her so it’s been a few late nights as I don’t wanna move. (Plus she shifts from my lap to my chest to be closer which makes me wonder if she can sense my mood.)
Also there has been bad storms which might have contributed .
But other then my energy, mood and creative vibes still being annoyingly lacking…
When I saw Weapons I got mum drinking chocolate and a few nights ago she called me from the kitchen cause there was something in the container. Sure enough there was and it looks like it’s a tea bag (it’s the right size and shape). I’ve no idea how it got there, it’s clearly not mum accidentally putting one in (it was completely covered). I contacted Tesco and apparently I should take it into the store and they can sort it so that’s the plan this week, hopefully tomorrow. Apparently stuff like this is called a UFB - unidentified foreign body, which I didn’t know.
Friday night I finished Donkey Kong Bananza and it was a lot of fun. I really enjoyed the game and the npcs are fun and cute (I love the fractones so much). I knew I was close to the end a few days ago but it was so funny cause there were no less than three boss battles that I thought was the last one. Anyone that’s played Zelda will know the vibe: they introduce a new villain for the game and then bam! Ganon appears out of nowhere. Yeah Donkey Kong Bananza did that. There is some post game stuff, so I might do some of that at some point, but even if I don’t it was a lot of fun. If you are getting a switch 2 (or already have one) I definitely suggest picking it up.
Also gaming wise it was Hollow Knight Silksong’s release this week and while I’ve not got it myself (it is on game pass but do I wanna play it there considering I’m having text reading issues which Xbox stuff?) it was funny seeing every single game store crash. Steam, PlayStation, xbox and Nintendo shops all went down and it was so funny. Has any game ever done all of that? If nothing else the devs should be proud of that.
(I have watched people play it though, though my brain did tune out)
Last night was the Star Wars proms which I had been looking forward to. It was Star Wars and The Planets, and I was surprised that The Planets wasn’t first. (Though so many of the vibes of it made me think of alien funnily enough). The Star Wars stuff was well performed, especially cause they were the youth orchestra too so they were all teens (which is honestly impressive and it was sweet at the end seeing their reactions). The choices were so odd though. It started with the main theme and across the stars, but then everything else was sequel stuff. (I think the oddest choice of all was something from Episode IX, Psalm Of The Sith.) which on one hand makes sense but on the other they didn’t even play Rey’s theme? And it honestly felt so bizarre seeing a Star Wars concert and they didn’t play either Duel Of The Fates or the Imperial March.
Later in the night I watched the new Alien Earth which I’d meant to for days but due to aforementioned energy and tiredness I didn’t. This one essentially a prequel to the rest of the series, showing what happened on the doomed ship that crashed in the first ep. Turned out it was pretty much fucked. There was a saboteur (which led to a xenomorph prowling about) but even without that they would have been doomed. There was a nice twist that had me pretty much yelling and I liked that the whole thing played with expectations. Honestly the whole thing could’ve have easily been made into a film itself.
Though again it raises more questions. Where they got these nightmare things from is still a mystery and the plant pod things are still the most mysterious of the specimens. (I’m so intruiged to see what they’re like and can do. It’s clear they can move cause when the crashed ship was explored one was just chilling on a corridor ceiling far from where they were kept)
Today’s plan is Wednesday (I might finish season 1 today), Dungeons and dodongos, proms and then I might watch something. Also wanna fic (it might be finishing something off if I do but who knows with my brain being so bleh creatively).
Tomorrow as mentioned is the town trip, unless the storm returns. I might see Honey Don’t and Jaws, but we’ll see.
