shadowhiveThursday’s appointment went ok, though was annoying. I went early thinking I could get there and wait inside but nope, the lunch hour for the opticians is between 1-2 (which makes having appointments at 2 feel really odd). It was just using a new peripheral testing machine which was fine though for some reason my eye decided to water part way through.
When I got back I watched the Pokopia thing I missed and ahh it looks so good! It really feels like it’s a Pokémon version of animal crossing, though it lets you have way more Pokémon than you could ac villagers. It feels there’s more to it than just a life sim though, there is a mystery aspect teased and I’m so curious. I really am so hyped for it.
(And speaking games I’ve still not sorted Hyrule Warriors. I was thinking of getting it when my money went in but I’ve still not. I think it’s partly cause I wanna finish Pokémon ZA first, I don’t want it to fall by the wayside like silksong and hades II. But also I know sales are coming and mums annoying friend so…)
In the night there was Taskmaster which was fun. It was the final and everyone wore pirate outfits and honestly? They all looked incredible in them. This was a pretty fun group too! Instead of just teasing one thing the post show trailer shown the new year treat and next champion of champions which was a surprise. I guess the latter is coming pretty soon.
Yesterday ended up being lazy day which I had expected cause of deliveries but we also got hit by the storm so it was raining and windy all day, to the point we didn’t even walk Naryu. Instead we just bundled up, finished Murder Before Evansong, which was pretty good, than children in need, which was eh and Sister Boniface which was good too if a tad sad.
Of the deliveries one was fine one wasn’t. The first was the 5 Seconds Of Summer order which was meant to be a picture vinyl and cd. However when I opened the package there was the vinyl but no sign of the cd. I’ve contacted support so we’ll see what happens. I did order the member cds cause the bundle came back, with a signed card (damnit Ashton and Luke signing on themselves so their signatures aren’t clear😭) so not having the regular one isn’t a big loss but still… (thoughts on the album in another post when I’ve listened more).
The other package was fine. It had the new Lego Star Wras advent calendar cause it had £14 off (and it’s cool, it’s got a bunch of droids!) and a buildable pokedex which I didn’t know was a thing till I saw it in an email. It looks so cool though, it’s pretty much lifesize and even has a light! The screen is also a set of plates with lenticular images so it can shown one of 5 pokemon (the kanto OG starters, Pikachu and Eevee) so it is pretty cool! It also has a stand which can hold the plates but it doesn’t seem to be as secure as it could be.
In the night I watched the IT blu ray that I got last week and it was pretty wild. Like all I knew about it was the sewer drain scene from the start and I didn’t expect it to be as brutal as it was. But yeah thewhole thing was wild I so intrigued by the lore stuff and to see some in welcome to Derry (but having that fire for the film backstory is such a bad choice) and I’m super curious to see chapter 2, hopefully soon.
The cex in town does have it listed in stock so I’ll swing by when I pick up my jacket (they’re pretty much right next to each other) so hopefully it’ll be there. The plan for that trip has also been changed too. The cinema added a morning showing for Keeper so I’ll see it then, which is better than seeing it at 5:40 like I was gonna cause it means I’ll be back before night.
Today was another lazy type day, though at least we walked the pup. Tonight I watched the next Who ray eps, which was Pyramids Of Mars. This is an odd one to post thoughts about cause I did watch it fairly recently, cause they put it out as a Tale Of The Tardis when Sutekh was bought back.
It is a pretty good ep and I really like the Egyptian vibes. It’s a shame there’s not been more Egyptian type stuff in Who. It’s also so creepy in places, especially when the controlled Professor Scarman encounters his brother. At the same time it’s funny, the meme scene of Sarah Jane and the Doctor turning and walking out on seeing a mummy in the last part is so funny, as is the poacher who gets crushed by two mummies pressing themselves against him. That wouldn’t be as funny if the mummies chests weren’t so… ample. (The tardis wiki pic doesn’t do them justice)
Also it’s incredible that Sutekh is sold just by a vocal performance, since he’s just paralysed the whole time. The fact hat he still comes off as threatening is a credit to his actor. And speaking of actors Sarah Jane gives a lot of heart and we actually get an answer to a question often unasked: why doesn’t the doctor just leave when something bad happens? (Plus who knew she was such a good shot??)
Tomorrow I’ll go through the special features of the disc, but also there’s a bunch of other stuff. I wanna watch a film (either Fantastic Four First Steps or Glass Onion), then DND and I wanna do some iconning and putting music on the pod thing. (Plus I wanna poke my fic brain)
And I wanna listen to the next Night Vale and Redacted eps (the later being a new podcast about an X-Files type unit so I’m already sold on the concept). But damn I really have rambled, oops.
