Past days have been uneventul mostly. I have started organising dungeons and dragons adventurer. I’ve got the first 46 issues in the folders (yes I should have done them as they came shush) and I’m annoyed that two sets of four of them are awol. I dunno if I should continue organising or just hunt them first.

Yesterday mum sprung on me she wanted to go to Home Bargains so off we went. Thankfully there was a lot of Halloween stuff there! It had a full aisle plus stuff by the door and a few end of aisle stuff too. I got soft sweet, banners and crafting stuff, plus two cute ghosts. There was one I didn’t get that was holding a pumpkin basket but the way the handle was painted I just made it look like it had a comically sad face. (Which you don’t really want, it’s their time!) I also looked in game, got a cheap Thrawn Funko and saw they had dective Pikachu for £20. I didn’t get it but may go back for it.

When I got back Awsten’s book was waiting for me. I was too tired to look through it but I checked what his doodle was (a face with starry eyes)

Also yesterday was also a new 5 Seconds Of Summer song called Not Okay! I really love it, the best is really catchy but it’s not what I expected at all. It sounds so different (and I assumed from the title it might be sad but it’s not). Also ahh the uk store for the album says there’s gonna be a uk tour next year?? I missed out when they last did one so I’m definitely going this time.

Gaming wise, been on Silksong and I feel I’ve made progress (after feeling a bit directionless). I just unlocked the drifter cloak which I feel is gonna be so incredibly useful.

Also Hades II came out today! After debating getting it on release I did decide to. I’ve done 4 runs so far and ahhh I love that there’s a pettable frog and dog! It’s gonna take some getting used to with all the new currencies (and remembering what is for what) but hopefully I’ll figure it out. Also when I died I met Moros he looks so hot👀

Last night was the Alien Earth finale and, despite tiredness, ended up watching. I’m glad I did though it did feel a bit unsatisfying. Mostly that’s because it was a season finale but none of the main things got resolved. Thankfully the characters I like lived and we finally got to see the plant pod thing do something, which I’d been waiting for since I saw it. But ugh this one really made me hate Wendy/Marcy. Like I can tell were supposed to sympathise with her and to an extent I do, but she’s too happy to let people die.

Overall it was a good ep but it didn’t feel like a season finale. Considering how bad streaming things are with cancelling shows after 1 season it felt bad to leave so much unresolved. Hopefully a season 2 is coming cause I do wanna know but…

And also streaming annoyance I was looking the other day on Netflix to watch Star Trek Prodigy and season 1 is just… gone. Bah. And then I saw a preview for Dead Boy Detectives so I’m now intruiged about that but I also know it got screwed so do I wanna get invested?

And now for the cinema plans portion of the post.

I had intended on going on Monday, at least to the mystery film but that plans changed. The mystery film is now labelled as a general one, not horror like the others so the only label it has is that it’s 15. Trouble is there’s a bunch of 15 rated things coming that I’ve seen trailers for and wouldn’t want to see which wouldn’t be so bad if I could see another one before it, but because I have an annoying call after 2 that makes things tricky. So I might just not do it. (Especially as the odeon secret showing was for one of those films and the light seems to follow them)

I’m still planning on going next Thursday for Curse Of Frankenstein. It’s had an additional showing added so now there’s a morning and late afternoon one. I should be able to see something else for either one but the trouble is jigsawing what to see. The morning showing is 10:20 (so it’s the second film of the day) and the afternoon one is 5:30.

The trouble is that the morning one feels too early and the afternoon one clashes with some other options. There’s two early afternoon options The Roses and The Conjuring Last Rites, but I’ve still not seen Conjuring 2 and Conjuring 3 isn’t on streaming. (Other possibilities are Demon Slayer [which I’ve never seen and so would be lost], The Lost Bus [which I know nothing about] and A Big Bold Beautiful Journey [which I feel could be good or sad]) annoyingly I did considering giving The Long Walk a try before the listings went live but it has one time: just before the afternoon showing starts.

I should also still be going to the mystery film on the 6th which IS labelled as a horror. I should be able to see Him before it too, which I am curious about though it does seem to have a mixed reception.

It is odd the cinema doesn’t even have Black Phone 2 on its coming soon page despite them clearly getting it. (Plus no sign of Frankenstein either and I keep checking.)

Anyways, gonna watch Taskmaster now, then Hell Motel and hopefully poke my brain.

As I mentioned in the round up post, it’s September already. How did that happen?

The first week has been all over the place, not helped by my mood and energy pretty much collapsing on Wednesday. And not helped by mum deciding the follow morning that the chest of drawers she said we should get the following Sunday (from someone moving house and getting rid of stuff) should be moved. Which included moving another set of drawers and then moving the new one upstairs which was, of course, exhausting.

Midna has also been intent on staying on me whenever she can. She sits in my spot when I come down too which is sweet. However her being on me can be a problem, cause I never wanna disturb her so it’s been a few late nights as I don’t wanna move. (Plus she shifts from my lap to my chest to be closer which makes me wonder if she can sense my mood.)

Also there has been bad storms which might have contributed .

But other then my energy, mood and creative vibes still being annoyingly lacking…

When I saw Weapons I got mum drinking chocolate and a few nights ago she called me from the kitchen cause there was something in the container. Sure enough there was and it looks like it’s a tea bag (it’s the right size and shape). I’ve no idea how it got there, it’s clearly not mum accidentally putting one in (it was completely covered). I contacted Tesco and apparently I should take it into the store and they can sort it so that’s the plan this week, hopefully tomorrow. Apparently stuff like this is called a UFB - unidentified foreign body, which I didn’t know.

Friday night I finished Donkey Kong Bananza and it was a lot of fun. I really enjoyed the game and the npcs are fun and cute (I love the fractones so much). I knew I was close to the end a few days ago but it was so funny cause there were no less than three boss battles that I thought was the last one. Anyone that’s played Zelda will know the vibe: they introduce a new villain for the game and then bam! Ganon appears out of nowhere. Yeah Donkey Kong Bananza did that. There is some post game stuff, so I might do some of that at some point, but even if I don’t it was a lot of fun. If you are getting a switch 2 (or already have one) I definitely suggest picking it up.

Also gaming wise it was Hollow Knight Silksong’s release this week and while I’ve not got it myself (it is on game pass but do I wanna play it there considering I’m having text reading issues which Xbox stuff?) it was funny seeing every single game store crash. Steam, PlayStation, xbox and Nintendo shops all went down and it was so funny. Has any game ever done all of that? If nothing else the devs should be proud of that.

(I have watched people play it though, though my brain did tune out)

Last night was the Star Wars proms which I had been looking forward to. It was Star Wars and The Planets, and I was surprised that The Planets wasn’t first. (Though so many of the vibes of it made me think of alien funnily enough). The Star Wars stuff was well performed, especially cause they were the youth orchestra too so they were all teens (which is honestly impressive and it was sweet at the end seeing their reactions). The choices were so odd though. It started with the main theme and across the stars, but then everything else was sequel stuff. (I think the oddest choice of all was something from Episode IX, Psalm Of The Sith.) which on one hand makes sense but on the other they didn’t even play Rey’s theme? And it honestly felt so bizarre seeing a Star Wars concert and they didn’t play either Duel Of The Fates or the Imperial March.

Later in the night I watched the new Alien Earth which I’d meant to for days but due to aforementioned energy and tiredness I didn’t. This one essentially a prequel to the rest of the series, showing what happened on the doomed ship that crashed in the first ep. Turned out it was pretty much fucked. There was a saboteur (which led to a xenomorph prowling about) but even without that they would have been doomed. There was a nice twist that had me pretty much yelling and I liked that the whole thing played with expectations. Honestly the whole thing could’ve have easily been made into a film itself.

Though again it raises more questions. Where they got these nightmare things from is still a mystery and the plant pod things are still the most mysterious of the specimens. (I’m so intruiged to see what they’re like and can do. It’s clear they can move cause when the crashed ship was explored one was just chilling on a corridor ceiling far from where they were kept)

Today’s plan is Wednesday (I might finish season 1 today), Dungeons and dodongos, proms and then I might watch something. Also wanna fic (it might be finishing something off if I do but who knows with my brain being so bleh creatively).

Tomorrow as mentioned is the town trip, unless the storm returns. I might see Honey Don’t and Jaws, but we’ll see.
