Last few days have been a bit strange, with days being ok and nights being… not. Like last night my focus and mood completely went and for no reason! It was so frustrating I was just lying here unable to do anything.

Bleh.

It doesn’t help that the threatened heat came back which I do not like,

I have been doing more on Donkey Kong Bananza though which is funny. I finished the Tempets Layer (which had the hardest boss so far), then did the landfill layer (with the cute eelings!) and then the racing layer. Those last two only had one layer (most have two sublayers) so they were pretty quick. Now I’m on the Radiance layer which has some cute lil snake guys. The npc designers have done an amazing job there’s so many cute lil guys in this and I love it.

There was also a library stint so I read the Fantastic 4 comic I had, which had Doctor Doom in the cover…. Which completed spoiled that he was in it. It definitely would’ve been best to have him as a surprise as he only turns up in the last pages. I also read more Clown In A Cornfield which gave me a lot of feels, even though I know it’ll be ok (ish) cause of seeing the film. (I did take it with me today but didn’t read any)

I have also started making a lil list of things I wanna watch for spooky season (which yeah it’s early but who cares) and it’s mostly stuff I’ve seen before. There’s only two things on there I’ve not seen and that’s cause they’re releasing that month. (VHS Halloween and Black Phone 2). Hopefully there’ll be more spooky films at the cinema I can add to the list.

Today we did end up going to Birmingham, despite it seeming we wouldn’t for these past days. Although we missed the first train it was a nice Tim.

The best bargain of the day was in Worlds Apart. Their insta said they had a sale but it was very vague and didn’t include pics so I wasn’t hopeful. Indeed there wasn’t too much but! They had The Acolyte Balck series figures and I got Mae, Osha, Master Sol and Master Indara. They had been reduced so much that the four of them was the same as a full price figure which is crazy. I’m taking it as another sign to watch The Acolyte again. (They also had my boy Yord but I already had him)

From TK I got the Stranger Things Tarot deck which has some nice art but it’s also so bizarre. It has its own suits which is fun but it’s also strange. Like why is Mrs Wheeler the Queen of scoops instead of Robin? Why have a suit that’s dice and yet not have Eddie as any of them (instead the king of dice is Victor Creel which shows it's not just made before season 4). I’m not sure if there is an Eddie card (I’ll have to check) but there is an Argyle one.

Anyway.

We went in Lego to look at the new stuff and there was some stuff on displace, but it was odd. Neither of the big Star Wars ones were. Though that’s probably for the best considering one is fragile as hell. They did have the STAP and Wicket though which look nice (and the AC sets were in the window so I couldn’t get as good a look as I hoped) I got the Wednesday Black Dahlia, which looks so nice and is actually a decent price.

I was hoping to get stuff from hmv and it was a partial sucess. I got the 5 Seconds Of Summer live album, plus The Black Phone and Section 31 film which was reduced a bit. Plus I got an album from the till by a group called Tomorrow X Together who I’ve never heard of, but I’m curious (and apparently it has a dvd too?).

The other forbidden Planet was also a partial success. I got the Exquisite Corpses issues but there was none of the Hyperspace stories with Kit Fisto (boo!) but I got some cheap books and Star Wars unlimited cards, and the Star Wars magazine with the Andor guide. (And a human torch Funko which looks cool cause he’s flame on!)

Then we went to see the new The Naked Gun. The trailers weren’t too special, though The Roses looks like it could be fun. The film overall was pretty fun, I mean it was pretty silly and it made me laugh a lot which was good. It did feel that the villains plan was perhaps a bit too evil for something like this? If that makes sense. Pamela Anderson’s Beth was so fun though, I do hope the rumour that her and Liam are together is true. Like I’m not one for celebrity gossip but I think they are pretty cute together and I hope they’re both happy.

Now I’m back home and flop. I built up the Black Dahlia and it looks nice (though damn the petal stickers😭) and I’m hoping to watch Alien Earth later if my focus is ok.

Plan next few days is to dumb stressful call (tomorrow), watch The Black Phone (tomorrow), watch more Wednesday (this weekend), watch Sonic 3 or Section 31 (Sunday), hopefully fic and then Monday go see Weapons (and maybe Freakier Friday, I’ll have to try and watch Freaky Friday before then though cause I’ve never seen it)
