October has felt like a mixed bag and it’s mostly because, between glasses fucking up and being sick, I’ve not been able to do the things I had planned. I think the main annoyance was not being able to see Frankenstein in cinemas yet. Partly that’s due to wanting to see it, but if I had seen it last week as planned it would have meant I’d have been to the cinema every week of October.
Even without that though I’ve seen 7 cinema films last month, which is more than I saw in all of last year. It’s hard to give a fav of those, it feels it’s between The Long Walk and Black Phone 2.
Other than that there’s been a lot of Treehouse Of Horrors, which I might try and finish going through this month (how many others are there? *checks* oh Disney+ has 36 what)
Also new is Now tv cause, like I said, I totally caved for it. (And yessss the second ep had Joshua Odjick albeit for about 5 seconds). And speaking of him I still love Wildhood. I really need to finish the special features of it, because that’s when my glasses broke.
This month I’m hoping to actually fic. I had started something I was working on and it was going well, then BAM sickness. Ugh. Hopefully I can get back to it this week.
***
The first weeks of November are gonna be real busy. This week is, Frankenstein and maybe Shelby Oaks (which’ll be two separate trips) and the Telford trip which I feel will be draining. The following week has Naryu’s vet trip, the James Marriott gig (and maybe Stranger Things cafe if I get the timings right), another eye test and the 5 Seconds Of Summer album coming.
Also the spooky season catch up.
Day 30: Pokémon ZA, It welcome to Derry - the pilot
Pretty much covered in the last post.
Day 31: Halloween! It Welcome to Derry - the thing in the dark, Trick R Treat
The second ep of Welcome To Derry went live on Halloween and I was able to watch it in the night. It wasn’t quite as messed up as the first one, though damn. IT really loves tormenting those kids huh? And the military angle is definitely gonna blow up in their faces. (And ugh racism)
Trick R Treat is my annual Halloween film and this is the version I got last year. It’s still the only 4K thing I have but I feel it was so worth it considering it’s a yearly thing and how great it looks. Plus it’s just fun, despite the stories being pretty scary. (I still think the real monsters are the school bus parents)
I did carve my pumpkin into a simple face, but didn’t even put a light in it this year and it sat in the kitchen which feels so wrong.
The sequel
Day 1: Strictly Halloween, Nine Bodies In A Mexican Morgue finale
Strictly Halloween was really great this year, it really felt like everyone bought their a game and everyone looked great. (And awww it was sweet that this dance made La Voix love it.) I was so sad that Ellie was sent home through, she was doing so well and mum was so mad when they didn’t vote for her.
Nine Bodies was an interesting finale. I had a feeling it was going to go the way it did after last week, I just didn’t expect the extent it would. And ha! That ending.
Now though I’m gonna finish the Trick R Treat special features and the. Bundle up.
