Time for a post, cause it’s been awhile and the last one was mostly squeeing over getting my Set It Off ticket

First off last week, during Owen’s birthday stream, he did a contest using marbles on stream races and somehow I won! So I’m getting a set of his pins which is cool! (I think they’re the new ones he’s revealing tomorrow.) I didn’t think I’d win despite coming first in one race and fourth in another (cause I didn’t place in the others) but somehow I did. It was funny though, I got hit by an ad just as the races ended so I was very confused as to why people were saying my name in chat until they ended!

(Now I’ll see which come first these Owen badges or the Seapeekay ones I’ve been owed for months!)

The weather these past days has been so annoying and changeable, one day it’ll be ok the next it’ll be stormy and then yesterday and today it’s been really hot. Ugh that heat has been draining.

It was even worse yesterday cause we had to pick mums meds up and ended up getting a bunch of things which was tiring and weighed us down. (I didn’t get anything too exciting just the regular Lego magazines and two Pokémon mega sets, plus some chilli mango thing to try).

Monday had mum’s friend come, which I expected to mean I’d be sent out but I wasn’t. Though ugh I had to cover something she wanted that she decided on just before she left which was annoying. Tuesday was a library trip which was last minute foisted on me, but it meant I read my book some more so…

Also Tuesday was the Nintendo direct which was pretty good, though my main highlight from it is the new Zelda game which looks pretty cool. It’s gonna be interesting playing as Zelda this time and I’m curious about the echos she can make, I guess they’ll be a proper direct focussed on it before release.

Tuesday night Deep Space nine started (taking over from Stargate Universe that finished Monday though ugh it ended so inconclusively which isn’t a surprise cause it was cancelled between season so they had no warning) and I was debating watching but decided I should cause it’s deep space nine and it’s awesome. (Kira and Jadzia are my favs, though honestly everyone is so amazing in it).

Thoughts on other things are gonna be under the cut now. These are gonna be, in rough order, American Horror Story: Murder House, Doctor Who (The Legend Of Ruby Sunday, Pyramids Of Mars), The Umbrella Academy (cause I finally watched another ep), Still Wakes The deep, The Acolyte.

Anyway now I’m gonna bundle up, watch the Isle Of Wight Festival coverage (I’m hoping they’ll show some of James Marriott’s set though I dunno) and maybe work on something, though my mind has been annoyingly scattered lately

The past few week has been pretty annoying, I think I counted at least 6 things that went wrong all at once last week which ended up being so incredibly exhausting. And then just as I get better from the mental aspects of it I’ve felt sick. Ugh. I dunno if the sickness part is due to something I ate or new meds but…. Ugh.

I’m not gonna dwell on the bad stuff though, apart from one of the more minor ones. When we walked Naryu last week my glasses slipped off my head and one of the arms came off. So I spent a few days having to wear my Parx hat to keep them on.

It took until Monday for me to be able to head down to get them sorted, but they thankfully were able to quickly which was a relief.

Friday we had to go to town for the first of mum’s tests, which went fine and everything seemed ok. The market was on in town which I don’t get to see often so I got two blu rays and some pretty stones. Then we had to stop off to get compost on the way home, so I popped in game and got one of the other Lego animal crossing sets. The best part of it (even more than the figures) is the lil hermit crab which is so adorable!

A game I played the beta of, Multiversus, came out of beta this week. I didn’t realise until I saw Connor stream it so I decided to go back to it. I hadn’t thought too much of it during the beta, it’s basically a smash bros style game with a very random bunch of characters, but I feel it’s definitely better now. I’m enjoying the PVE rift things which are fun. Also it’s wild having Jason from Friday the 13th as a new character, as well as the banana guard from Adventure Time (especially so cause he’s the third character in it which feels strange!).

Saturday was new Doctor Who and today was The Acolyte (thoughts on both under the cut for spoilers).
