shadowhiveThe past few nights have been ‘fun’. I dunno if it’s cause of the recent storms but head has been achy as have eyes along with the depression of recent nights. It kinda feels like each one feeds into the others make them worse, even though now the storms have eased but whatever.
The promised Doctor Who Christmas special has been cancelled… though it seems it never actually existed to begin with. Which ugh. And now it seems there won’t be a new series for awhile which makes the mess of the finale even worse.
I have done a few things in the nights in attempts to distract my brain. I’m listened to Welcome To Night Vale again at last and I’m mostly caught up which is good. I’ve really been intrigued by the central murder mystery and I’m curious how it’ll be resolved.
Wednesday I managed to watch Touch Me which was very much a ‘what did I just watch movie’ but that’s to be expected when the main premise is a tentacled alien that can calm anxiety with a touch. (And fucks too.) I love that the alien was pansexual, having sex with both men and women. But yeah it was really wild and strange.
Last night I watched the special features on the disc which was a collection of things the director did. The shirt films were pretty good, all relating to technology (a woman’s consciousness uploaded, another woman making a connection with a holographic dating app in a future, a guy makes a connection with a self driving car). The web series Kappa Force was less good but still pretty unhinged.
Today my head went achy again once the food shop came which… ugh. But at least this morning I woke with midna on my bed which was rare.
I did look on the switch eshop and did an impulse buy of plague inc. I had the game on the odd tablet I had, but I’ve not been able to play for awhile. I did a few games while waiting on the food shop, but damn. Bacteria and virus were pretty easy, but the fungus seems harder. I’ll probably go on it again soon, it’s a good thing to do that doesn’t need much focus.
Next week I’m gonna try and watch some things. Cause Springwatch has finished (and Taskmaster) and the footballs started not much is gonna be on. So I wanna start watching some things. I’m thinking of Three Pines (cause of Joshua Odjick) and finally starting From.
(And, of course, in the nights watch more blu rays and such. I do wanna finish Welcome To Derry but it’s not a show to watch when mood is low.)
Plus there’s meant to be a new directors cut of the second X-Files film, though apparently it’s been delayed.
Tomorrow I should be going to see Disclosure Day and maybe something else depending on how I feel (I’m hoping for Mandalorian And Grogu though it really depends on my head).
I’m sure I had other thoughts but they’re gone.

Date: 2026-06-13 07:40 am (UTC)Yeah a fresh start could be good but I guess it depends. The newer series left a lot of threads dangling and that ending… ugh.
I recently watched the movie again and I liked it, it’s just a shame it didn’t lead to anything. But I think that was down to it being a co-production with the US which tanked it sadly. (I wonder how it’d be looked on if it led to a series?) The relaunch was where I started from! But yeah I can definitely understand having doubts about it beforehand, but I’m glad it turned out so well mostly.
