shadowhiveSo this is the ‘everything else I wanna ramble about but didn’t fit cause the Stranger Things ramble was rambly’ post.
First off before I get into the things I wanna talk about: what the actual fuck? How is it December already? It’s honestly felt that November has just… gone.
My energy this past week has been non existent which is so annoying. It’s a mix of the stress of the hospital last week and then. Uni assessment which has been nothing but stressful. In part because, well assessments always are, but also because ugh. The laptop kept needing updates which made things slower (I lost two mornings due to that) and just.. ugh. But it’s been submitted now, I know I’ve not done one part but I just… can’t figure that out (and another requires hand drawing something and I just,,l can’t find anything to do that with)
Plus there has been another issue. About a month ago I had an email from HMV with some of the Stranger Things stuff coming, I mentioned to mum (just in passing) that there was a Stranger Things record player coming. For whatever reason that triggered something in her brain, and it became a fixation. She decided that’s the thing I had to have for Christmas, over the stuff that we’d talked about. I guess cause I got some vinyls this year she’s decided it’d be good to have something to play them on I guess?
Some of her money went in last week so it was ordered and it came Friday (late afternoon after us waiting all day). I set it to one side, assuming mum would want it took up at some point. On Saturday I came down and she’d cleared space, put the box up and then wanted me to take it down and open it. I thought she wanted the outer box opening, she wanted it set up and I just thought it baffling. It’s meant to be a Christmas thing why set it up almost a month early? (And then She started an argument and moved the box back to where it was so I just…) I dunno
(And having mentioned Stranger Things and vinyls, I’m so annoyed that places in America get exclusives that never make it over here. There’s a book in one, but there’s also a wsqk vinyl and just arghhh)
Anyway, better things. Or, well, other things.
Last week I finally watched Thanksgiving. I got the blu ray of it last year and intended to watch it then and just… didn’t. So it’s been sat there for a year. I didn’t watch it on Thanksgiving (although I finished it after midnight so I guess I technically did. It was pretty good and the killer’s fit is so unsettling it’s creepier than I expected. (And I laughed so hard when he said ‘this thanksgiving there will be no leftovers!’) and damn that oven scene was so…
Saturday was the fortnite event to end the simpsons season and it was so fun. I was Will from Stranger a things for it and the whole thing was so fun. There was the bride from Kill bill, a star destroyer, a giant Homer, hatsune miku riding atop Godzilla, the girls from k-pop demon hunters. It was wild. The new season does seem pretty fun, I already got two wins on the first day which was cool.
Yesterday I watched Sonic 3, after having the blu ray since release. I dunno why it took so long to watch cause it was so great to watch it again! Shadow is awesome and I love how he’s like… a dark mirror of sonic with his past. And I love that Stone got to do some cool stuff this time. Honestly best of the series I’m so excite for 4.
Damn Strictly was so sad, cause Alex went out (how is Belvinder surviving constantly) and I feel so bad for her. Even worse cause she was just on it takes two and said her focus was off due to an injury.
Yesterday night I watched Perfect, because I wanted to watch a thing on prime and it was between Darkest Miriam (Joshua Odjick is listed as ‘beautiful man’) and Perfect (which had Garrett Wareing). I went with Perfect cause Garrett’s the main character. But… yeah
I know it was gonna be a ‘what the fuck did I just watch movie’ from the trailer and it was very much like that. At the end I just had questions cause it was so… odd and had no answers. Some of the parts were good, especially the aesthetics and Garrett did the best he could (and was shirtless and moaned so there was that) but yeah. Oddness
This weeks plans are:
*It Welcome To Derry (tonight)
*lock in enough to finish fic
*library stint, reading stuff
*finish Pokemon Za’s main story
*Cinema trip (Zootropolis 2, Wake Up Dead Man) [and look to see what Stranger Things stuff is in town]
*Watch Five Nights At Freddy’s and It Chapter 2
I was gonna see FNAF 2 Friday but it’s being moved till next Wednesday. Not cause of FNAF itself but I wanna see Pillion and it’s got an afternoon showing then so👀
But yeah end of rambles, I’m gonna flop for a bit now.

Date: 2025-12-04 10:41 am (UTC)Oh no! I didn’t catch what the injury was but damn that must’ve been so so painful. I feel so badly for her for that, I hope she recovers. (Now I feel an urge to wrap George in bubble wrap so nothing happens to him) yeah they were a fun idea!
