Spooky season catch up

Day 11: fortnitemares, nine bodies in a Mexican morgue, eso, embrace the darkness part 2

Nine Bodies In A Mexican Morgue due the same thing that Hell Motel did, include a flashback to a character at the start of this week. So, naturally I assumed he’d be doomed. Then the title came up as his name and I knew it was so over for him. Which sucks cause he was one of my favs.

A ‘good’ thing about my glassses fucking up is I had to get back to Embrace The Darkness.

Day 12: fortnitemares, Wednesday - if these woes could talk, shoto spooky stream, some bad spooky stream - poppy playtime

Shoto and Badboyhalo did spooky streams though again, my focus was off cause of exhaustion.

I did manage to watch Wednesday which I wasn’t sure I’d be able to do but I did use my older glasses. It was the last of the first set of eps which feels like a good place to share thoughts.

Under a cut for spoilers.

Day 13: embrace the darkness part 3+4, ESO

I managed to do a quest on ESO, I had hoped to finished the Apocrypha quests before the new event happened but tiredness and glasses screwed that up. But yay for spooky creatures,

Also finished Embrace the darkness which was pretty good. I had a feeling there’d be a reveal of the ‘bad’ aliens actually being good so I’m glad I was right. Can’t help but be puzzled about all the tardises flying past in the first ep.

And now onto yesterday. Before we went the mail came and one of the this were the comics I had on preorder so now I have the following to read:
*Exquisite Corpses 4+5 (I still need to read 2+3 oop)
*Event Horizon Dark Descent 1+2
*The Umbrella Academy Plan B 2+3

When will I read them? Who knows cause up yesterday I got too drained and it feels the rest of the week is a bunch of stuff (more on that later).

At the opticians they, predictably, said the glasses weren’t fixable by them. I asked if I was due an appointment since it’s been awhile (and my eyes have felt worse) and apparently I’m overdue. Usually they send a letter when it’s time but have I had one? Nope. Sigh. I’m booked in Saturday so there’s that, but that means no new glasses for at least another week.

I am wondering if the new glasses will mean I can have better focus and everything but I guess we’ll see

When I got back I tried to use the superglue to repair the break only I fucked up and got the glue over one of the lenses so now there’s a smear over them. I looked up how to get it off lenses and tried everything I could find but no luck ugh. I’m gonna just wear them for today and see if the eye compensates.

The plans for the rest of the week are kinda dependant on that (plus energy, plus weather). I do have the old glasses which are a workable temporary solution but…

The intent of the week is this:
Wednesday - cinema trip: Tron Ares (and maybe Night Of The Zoopocalypse)
Thursday - Pokémon ZA release (which thankfully is the one thing not glasses dependant)
Friday - Coheed gig (once I get ticket)
Saturday - Opticians, maybe a cinema trip
Sunday - Horror market, dnd

Tomorrow’s cinema trip depends on how I feel with glasses as well as weather, which feels like it could go either way. It also depends on working out when to go for the best, which is dependant on if I see Zoopocalypse first (a 10am showing) or second (a 3:50 showing). The cinema also has a Tron Ares cup thing with the light cycle which is pretty cool so I might see about that.

Coheed depends on how I feel about must sight, I was gonna get the ticket when my money went in but causa the glasses fucking up… I have got a setlist from the EU dates so I have been listening to that. It has got 2 of my 3 fav songs on from the new album which is good so it would be nice to go. (Oddly there’s none from one of the other albums of theirs I really liked)

I had hoped to see Black Phone 2 before the gig but alas all the cinema times are just before or during it, even with new times. I had took a morning optician appointment in case they added an early afternoon showing Saturday but alas nope. I’m not sure I have it in me watch three films in one day for it (since the earliest showing is 5:20 which feels too late for me on a post gig day plus I’d like to see strictly), so I’m looking into going Tuesday or Wednesday depending.

(And speaking of Strictly I can’t believe they had a Sunday dance based on the Minecraft movie, that was insane)

There’s a horror film market Sunday thats walking distance away so it’s weather dependant. There was one earlier in the year just after I saw Sinners but it was too crazy then to see but I saw on the website that there was one now.

Then in the night there’s MCC but also ITV is showing Star Trek Strange New Worlds so I might check that out since I’ve never seen it.

Anyway now it’s to wait on the food shop and then ??

So it feels that this week has been curse. Between student finance acting up (it’s still not up), one bag being forgotten, the other breaking and the sd card being completely useless last night a new issue occurred.

I was seated, ready to watch through the Wildhood special features as planned. I reached up to lift my glasses to scratch my nose and this happened.

Yep they broke in half. I dunno why, cause I wasn’t rough or anything but… ugh.

Obviously I couldn’t do anything with them last night. I tried to find the superglue but had no luck so all my plans were screwed. I listened to an audio and then went to bed.

In the morning I asked mum if she knew where superglue was to fix them and, after looking at the glasses declared instead I should ‘take them to the opticians in the morning’ to see if they could fix or put the lenses in something else. So instead of them being fixed I was given an old pair which aren’t great for my eyes which is far from ideal. I feel that I might be due a test (cause of how my eyes have been achy and bad at reading text on the tv) so feel they might just say to be booked in for that instead. Which… that isn’t ideal when I handed my glasses both for cinema trips and to see Coheed and waiting on that would likely take a week or longer even if I got in tomorrow.

Then tonight, when I said I’d just have to superglue them if they said I’d need testing, mum magicked up the superglue and I’m so annoyed by that cause I could have had them sorted earlier. Now I’m holding off till I go but ughh. (It hasn’t helped my already tiredness)

Ugh.

And I’m gonna add it here so I’m not adding it to another post. (Next one will be back to spooky season stuff.) but I found out yesterday that Ian Watkins is dead. Sounds like someone stabbed him and it killed him. Honestly I’m more surprised it hadn’t happened sooner. I haven’t appreciated his face splashed everywhere (everytime I open my email it goes to the news section with his mugshot which I don’t wanna see)

Also don’t appreciate that yesterday some dick decided to gloat to people. He went to one of Ian’s old tweets from 13 years ago (before anyone had any idea he was the monster he is) and replied to people generally being a prick about it. I bit back to the asshole then blocked him (apparently he’s some perfect Angel that has never interacted with someone that turned out to be horrible). Ugh.

But yeah tomorrow is, instead of whatever else I had planned, is gonna be a trip to the opticians after seeing if mail comes. Maybe I’ll spend the rest of the day doing other stuff I meant to (like comic reading or getting back to Hades II).
