So yesterday ended up being pretty tiring. I went to the opticians in the morning and yep, seems my eyes have gotten worse, especially the right one which has got noticeably worse. So no wonder I’m having trouble reading stuff on the tv and have headaches. The optician thinks there’s nothing wrong with that, cause he couldn’t see anything but did refer me to the eye department ‘just in case’ (he did make sure to stress about three times he was sure they’d find nothing). It’s gonna be a week/week and a half till I get the new glasses alas boo.

When home we caught up on things, Sister Boniface, Harry Wild and then watched Murder She Wrote. Then I went on Pokémon some more. Aloha Pokémon are no joke they can be so terrifying what’s up with that?? I haven’t got too much further but I’ve switched my flaffy out cause the game gives you a shiny mareep which is so cute. (It’s fur instead of yellow was pink so it looked like candy floss!)

But then I just went so tired I ended up dozing. It made me glad I didn’t see Black Phone 2 yesterday I fear I’d have slept in the cinema.

I had planned to go to the horror/gothic market in town today (even getting extra money out when I went to the opticians) but between waking up late and rain I’ve not gone. The rain hasn’t been too heavy, but it’s about half an hour each way to walk and SoI fear getting caught in it if it gets heavier. The site for it did have pics from prior ones and it wasn’t exactly as I expected it to be, but it has had pretty rocks and dice before (but knowing my luck if I went it would have neither).

So instead I’m just gonna stay home today instead, then watch High Potential and Wednesday before dnd and then twitch con and the fangoria awards stream later (unless I get eepy sleepy).

But now tomorrow is the next month of the pass so here’s the round of this last month.

Month 3: September 20th- October 20th
20th: The Bad Guys 2 + Thunderbirds Double Bill (Trapped In The Sky + Terror In New York City)
2nd: Curse Of Frankenstein
6th: Him + Mystery film - Good Boy
8th: The Long Walk
15th: Night Of The Zoopocalypse, Tron Ares

So it’s the third month of the pass and I knew October would be the busiest time for it. It’s just over halfway through the month and I’ve seen 6 things already. (Which, and I checked, is more films than I seen inthe cinema during the whole of 2024 which is crazy)

I think my ranking of the films would be this:
The Long Walk
Good Boy
Night Of The Zoopocalypse
Curse Of Frankenstein
The Bad Guys 2
Tron Ares
Him

Thunderbirds isn’t placed there cause it’s very much its own thing (and technically it’s not a film but 2 eps of a show instead) but if it was it’s pretty high. A lot of the ones this month feel at similar level and I have to admit I did enjoy them (I dunno if that’s the right term for Him though). Thoughts on each of them are in. The film thoughts/cinema adventures tag (I might come back and add them individually later)

There are three more trips planned before the month is over. Black Phone 2 is sometime in the coming week, I had planned Tuesday but it’s looking to be changed (mum did ask why not tomorrow but I just want a lazy birthday instead of doing a morning showing, plus we have deliveries due). If it’s Friday I might watch Paranorman as well. Then the following week has Frankenstein on Wednesday, yipee! I might pop in the art gallery and ask about the art stuff that day too.

Then there’s Shelby Oaks, which is due to be out Halloween. Trouble is it’s not listed on the coming soon section of the site so I’m not sure if it will be. There is a mystery showing on that Tuesday which might be it, but it could also be Bugonia (though it’s also a shopping day which would make it tiring). So that’s very much a wait and see.

But now it’s time to snuggle, decide which of the kanto starters to choose from on ZA (I got an unexpected side mission which lead to it right before I went to bed but I couldn’t decide) and watch the stuff as planned.

Edit: And just after I hit post the rain came and hard so yeah I made the right choice to stay home.

Such a shame to miss the gothic market but in such heavy rain I'd probably have skipped it, too. Nothing is more miserable than being out unnecessarily in a downpour.

[shadowhive]

Yeah it was a shame. I did consider going when I came down cause it has knocked off but I’m glad I didn’t cause I’d have been half way there then caught in it. Yeah I agree! Especially when there’s nowhere to shelter or anything

I also went to the opticians last week and had to have new glasses. £250! The price of glasses is ridiculous. We need a new washing machine and it costs the same! Glasses and washing machines shouldn't cost the same.

[shadowhive]

Aww no! That’s awful! I get vouchers so I can get basic ones for free which is good, but I’m not surprised the price is so much (mum wanted me to look into getting new ones for her and the prices, even online, were crazy. Yeah absolutely!

[kitarella_imagines]

It is ridiculous these days, they were showing me the options and I chose the cheapest one which was £100+ At least they allowed me to choose frames from the children's section as I have a small face, so that was cheaper. But prices are getting crazy. I've already cancelled my contact lenses because I can't afford them anymore.

I'm still loving seeing you enjoy your cinema pass.

[shadowhive]

Aww thank! Me too, I didn’t expect to have used it quite this much, especially now! I’m glad I’ve had it it’s been so good to see all the things
