shadowhiveSo yesterday was the hospital trip which ended up being tiring.
First off the bus we got on wasn’t the one that went straight to the hospital so we had to switch in Wolverhampton anyway (apparently the direct one was redirected so it would’ve missed the stop anyway. On the way I did some reading (I took three books which was excessive perhap) and I ended up reading the first of the shirts in Poirot Investigates. It’s wild that one of the opening lines is ‘“that’s queer” I ejaculated suddenly’ which sounds made up but it absolutely is
We did a lil bit in town, which wasn’t too eventful. Sadly Forbidden Planet didn’t have the Maul comics I hoped for, but they did have the Mercenary Droid Funko so I got it cause of the student discount they have. I got mum an Ewok village set of doorables from the entertainer (she loves ewoks) and she noticed they had free Mandalorian posters but the door, so if anyone wants one go to an Entertainer!
We were way early when we got to the hospital so I went in the nearby TK getting another Agatha Christie book (Murder Of Roger Ackroyd), a Funko of Luthen from Andor and a discounted Anakin figure.
We got to the hospital early and, surprisingly I was seen early (I guess it helped it was quiet). The tests that the doctor did were a lot like opticians ones (I think only one or two were different) and then the second one (which he got me in early) was also one done at the opticians. It all felt a little… pointless. I guess I’d assumed it’d be some advanced scanner, not just their own one the optician had. (Apparently I’ll have to go back for results at some point)
I still don’t have any answers but at least it meant we got out early and home… though when we got to town we’d just missed a bus so had to wait an hour. We wandered around a bit and found out that Primark has MCR tees (the cover of Three Cheers and a black parade one).
By the time I got home I was pretty flop and low energy so I just ended up tuning out a bit.
But I did get a notification from the cinema. I’d been told Friday they were getting Mandalorian stuff but didn’t know what, so I just assumed it’d be like the Mario stuff (a popcorn tin and cup) and I was right but not just them. There’s a bundle of both a tin and cup (three designs of the former, five toppers for the latter) but there’s one other thing.
They’re getting the AT-AT popcorn bucket.
Now I’ve never really understood the fixation with making crazy popcorn containers. Most just seem baffling and completely impractical. (We don't even usually get them and often it’s just odeon and they sell out crazy fast) . However this one does look so cool. It has lights and sounds and has articulated legs. I never expected to even see it and now the cinema is getting it… I might be tempted. Maybe.
And they just emailed saying they have Mandalorian themed cocktails but say nothing about what they actually are. (Why do they never say what themed cocktails are?)
(I am annoyed though that they are getting Passenger… and only showing it once a day, at 8:45pm damnit. I’d hoped it’d get decent times considering how much I’d seen the trailers but no😔)
Anyway. I wish today could have been a lazy day to recover from being outside, but instead I had a library shift to cover. Ugh. I just read two more free comic book day comics and one chapter of Heated Rivalry. But there were two Agatha Raisin books from the buying section that looked untouched. Plus mum spotted a book called Silverweed Road and I was intrigued so I’ve borrowed that to check out.
Anyway that’s it really. I’m just gonna snuggle up and maybe doze with Midna. (But ahh! The house on the corner has two kittens that look just like Midna and they were in the window and they were so cute and smol and baby🥹)

Date: 2026-05-19 06:11 pm (UTC)I remember when Disney parks were doing things with popcorn buckets and people were like, queueing for hours to get a $40 popcorn bucket. I actually had the Han Solo in carbonite one because in addition to popcorn stands, they were selling that one at a restaurant which served them with slider burgers so I got decent if overpriced burgers and a popcorn bucket I didn't queue for hours for. And recently just resold on eBay, lol.
Why do they never say what themed cocktails are?
Because they're counting on the aforementioned Disney Adults to just buy them out of loyalty no matter what's in them?
Aww kittens!

Date: 2026-05-19 06:42 pm (UTC)Oh I just looked it up that’s pretty cool! I’m glad you avoided waiting, that sounds crazy glueing for hours for one!
Maybe, but this is the first Disney thing that they’ve had them for (there’s been 4 films with cocktails from the emails I get, Downton, Wuthering Heights, Devil Wears Parada and now this) and none of them have said what the cocktails actually are. You’d think they’d at least give a description but nope! Maybe I’ll ask what these are, not that I’ll get them
Yeah they’re so baby
