It's time for [community profile] rec_cember and I am starting off with some vid recs!

Sometimes a vid is not just a great vid but also introduces you to a new favorite song that gets added to your repeat playlist and becomes forever inextricable from the vid. Or that happens to me at least. Here are 11 vids that did that to me.

Autoclave - Due South by blessyouwatson (paramountie). Most recent instance of this. (Comment on AO3!)

Sorrow - Captain America by Trelkez. I think this was my first introduction to The National and I love The National.

more under the cut! )

It's very cold out and I have a bad habit of sitting like a shrimp at work, and between those two things my shoulder is on fire. I need to start doing my PT stretches again, I think.

But hey, my first day back at work after a week of vacation was actually pretty tolerable. Got everything I wanted to done, didn't freeze to death or fall in the poorly-cleared parking lot, and made my tea last until after 4 PM.

Tonight, a quick round of laundry and then video games and bed, I think. I should have enough eggs left for some quick egg noodles, and then I can bring the leftovers tomorrow for lunch.

You’re a colourful bunch

So this is the ‘everything else I wanna ramble about but didn’t fit cause the Stranger Things ramble was rambly’ post.

First off before I get into the things I wanna talk about: what the actual fuck? How is it December already? It’s honestly felt that November has just… gone.

My energy this past week has been non existent which is so annoying. It’s a mix of the stress of the hospital last week and then. Uni assessment which has been nothing but stressful. In part because, well assessments always are, but also because ugh. The laptop kept needing updates which made things slower (I lost two mornings due to that) and just.. ugh. But it’s been submitted now, I know I’ve not done one part but I just… can’t figure that out (and another requires hand drawing something and I just,,l can’t find anything to do that with)

Plus there has been another issue. About a month ago I had an email from HMV with some of the Stranger Things stuff coming, I mentioned to mum (just in passing) that there was a Stranger Things record player coming. For whatever reason that triggered something in her brain, and it became a fixation. She decided that’s the thing I had to have for Christmas, over the stuff that we’d talked about. I guess cause I got some vinyls this year she’s decided it’d be good to have something to play them on I guess?

Some of her money went in last week so it was ordered and it came Friday (late afternoon after us waiting all day). I set it to one side, assuming mum would want it took up at some point. On Saturday I came down and she’d cleared space, put the box up and then wanted me to take it down and open it. I thought she wanted the outer box opening, she wanted it set up and I just thought it baffling. It’s meant to be a Christmas thing why set it up almost a month early? (And then She started an argument and moved the box back to where it was so I just…) I dunno

(And having mentioned Stranger Things and vinyls, I’m so annoyed that places in America get exclusives that never make it over here. There’s a book in one, but there’s also a wsqk vinyl and just arghhh)

Anyway, better things. Or, well, other things.

Last week I finally watched Thanksgiving. I got the blu ray of it last year and intended to watch it then and just… didn’t. So it’s been sat there for a year. I didn’t watch it on Thanksgiving (although I finished it after midnight so I guess I technically did. It was pretty good and the killer’s fit is so unsettling it’s creepier than I expected. (And I laughed so hard when he said ‘this thanksgiving there will be no leftovers!’) and damn that oven scene was so…

Saturday was the fortnite event to end the simpsons season and it was so fun. I was Will from Stranger a things for it and the whole thing was so fun. There was the bride from Kill bill, a star destroyer, a giant Homer, hatsune miku riding atop Godzilla, the girls from k-pop demon hunters. It was wild. The new season does seem pretty fun, I already got two wins on the first day which was cool.

Yesterday I watched Sonic 3, after having the blu ray since release. I dunno why it took so long to watch cause it was so great to watch it again! Shadow is awesome and I love how he’s like… a dark mirror of sonic with his past. And I love that Stone got to do some cool stuff this time. Honestly best of the series I’m so excite for 4.

Damn Strictly was so sad, cause Alex went out (how is Belvinder surviving constantly) and I feel so bad for her. Even worse cause she was just on it takes two and said her focus was off due to an injury.

Yesterday night I watched Perfect, because I wanted to watch a thing on prime and it was between Darkest Miriam (Joshua Odjick is listed as ‘beautiful man’) and Perfect (which had Garrett Wareing). I went with Perfect cause Garrett’s the main character. But… yeah

I know it was gonna be a ‘what the fuck did I just watch movie’ from the trailer and it was very much like that. At the end I just had questions cause it was so… odd and had no answers. Some of the parts were good, especially the aesthetics and Garrett did the best he could (and was shirtless and moaned so there was that) but yeah. Oddness

This weeks plans are:
*It Welcome To Derry (tonight)
*lock in enough to finish fic
*library stint, reading stuff
*finish Pokemon Za’s main story
*Cinema trip (Zootropolis 2, Wake Up Dead Man) [and look to see what Stranger Things stuff is in town]
*Watch Five Nights At Freddie’s and It Chapter 2

I was gonna see FNAF 2 Friday but it’s being moved till next Wednesday. Not cause of FNAF itself but I wanna see Pillion and it’s got an afternoon showing then so👀

But yeah end of rambles, I’m gonna flop for a bit now.

Meant to post this earlier, but got distracted, but I'm back now! November 2025 recs update:

[personal profile] unfitforsociety has been updated for November 2025 with 11 recs in 4 fandoms:

* 7 Batfamily, 1 Batfamily/Criminal Minds crossover
* 1 The Bear, 1 Star Wars, and 1 Stranger Things

*

I also made a cute little chocolate cake with chocolate ermine frosting (pic). I'm happy with how it came out. It's just enough cake for 1 person for like 5 days (refrigerated).

*

Stranger Things, season 5, episodes 1 - 4!

spoilers )

I think this "drop 4 episodes, then do another 2-3 episodes 2 more times" is the worst of all possible distribution patterns, but I guess Netflix will never do a weekly series, which I can honestly say after years of binge-watching seems preferable to me. But at least it's all within a month instead of half in August and half in November or whatever. As much as I dislike the amount of time it's taken for them to put out each season, I am still enjoying the show and want to see how it all wraps up.

So the past few days have been a bit… ugh. Both due to energy and mood (not helped and partially caused by uni assessment) but there’s also been good things (thanksgiving [the film not the holiday], the fortnite event yesterday) but I’m not gonna talk about them here. Maybe there’ll be a post about those things later but…

Nee Stranger Things episodes went live! They went live here at 1am Thursday (so Wednesday night really) but that was too late for me (especially as I was finishing Thanksgiving). I had hoped to watch one ep on Thursday but couldn’t fit it in (and then energy crashed). So it ended up being the first two eps Friday and then the last two last night.

So! Ima gonna post thoughts and feelings under the cut, I will be posting stuff under ep titles (which’ll be bolded) so you can just avoid the latter ones if you’ve not seen them all. BUT obviously this willl be spoilery.

So! Let’s get into it.

Read more... )</lj-cut! Non Stranger Things plans for the rest of the day *New Fortnite season *do more Marvel snap (and get pissed at it crashing) *Finally watch Sonic 3 *Shoto spooky stream *Work on/finish fic *Sunday night tv *Perfect or Darkest Miriam on Amazon prime (I’m leaning to Perfect)

Hello, friends! It's about to be December again, and you know what that means: the fact I am posting this actually before December 1 means [staff profile] karzilla reminded me about the existence of linear time again. Wait, no -- well, yes, but also -- okay, look, let me back up and start again: it's almost December, and that means it's time for our annual December holiday points bonus.

The standard explanation: For the entire month of December, all orders made in the Shop of points and paid time, either for you or as a gift for a friend, will have 10% of your completed cart total sent to you in points when you finish the transaction. For instance, if you buy an order of 12 months of paid time for $35 (350 points), you'll get 35 points when the order is complete, to use on a future purchase.

The fine print and much more behind this cut! )

Thank you, in short, for being the best possible users any social media site could possibly ever hope for. I'm probably in danger of crossing the Sappiness Line if I haven't already, but you all make everything worth it.

On behalf of Mark, Jen, Robby, and our team of awesome volunteers, and to each and every one of you, whether you've been with us on this wild ride since the beginning or just signed up last week, I'm wishing you all a very happy set of end-of-year holidays, whichever ones you celebrate, and hoping for all of you that your 2026 is full of kindness, determination, empathy, and a hell of a lot more luck than we've all had lately. Let's go.

start back the other way

I arrived at my sister's on Wednesday, just as she left to pick Baby Miss L up from school, so I got to spend an afternoon with her and my middle niece, who as previously mentioned, had to work on Thursday and wouldn't be joining the holiday dinner. We had a fantastic time - Baby Miss L opened her birthday presents and declared the clothes, "Cute!" She also liked the books - she can identify Batman on sight - "Batman!" - and also really liked "Peekaboo Who?" She played with the magnetic tiles I gave her, and then we had a Sesame Street-themed dance party. She also acted out "Do You Want to Build a Snowman?" when it came on.

Thanksgiving dinner itself was also lovely, though since one of my cousins invited herself since she had nowhere else to go, we were better behaved than we might normally be.

I once again floated the idea of pajama Christmas, which my sister and niece were 100% into, but my brother-in-law was not, so unfortunately, much like apps and dessert Christmas (my other perennial suggestion that gets ignored), I don't think it's going to happen.

Then I came home yesterday morning and napped for like 3 hours, and then I watched the third period of the Rangers game and the Bears-Eagles game, so it was kind of a weird day - was it Friday? Was it Sunday? It was hard to tell.

I did finally open the box of mason jars I ordered to use for my work holiday gifts and realized I ordered 8oz jars instead of 16oz ones, so I only need half as many pecans as I thought. Which my wallet appreciates. I'm running the first set through the dishwasher, and then I need to do a test run of the recipe to make sure I know how to do it - the comments recommend using ziploc bags instead of bowls and that seems like a wise plan to me, but I also think maybe a bowl for the egg whites and a bag for the sugar might be the way to go, using a slotted spoon to transfer from bowl to bag.

We'll see how it goes.

Me, five minutes later: Right. So, ventilation...

The past days have been pretty tiring, though that’s pretty much as expected.

Mums friend came Monday and, as expected, I went to town to put money in for her to get stuff. Which ugh. But at the same time it meant I could get some stuff. I managed to find the Lego Star Wars magazine I missed out on in home bargains (they have older issues for some reason which is useful and this was the last one). It comes with a lil droideka which is so cool so I’m glad I got it. Plus I also got the new Fantastic 4 comic though I’ve not read yet.

I also got some frozen stuff from Iceland so there’s some of the newer party food to try. But ugh. I dunno what it is, going to town for these trips is always tiring even more so than going out other times.

In the night I finished the Android Invasion special features (I watched some Sunday night) and then watched Welcome to Derry which was such a wild ep and I’m so glad there was so much Taniel even though he got himself into a situation and might well be doomed.

Speaking of The Long Walk actors (since Taniel is played by Collie’s actor) I found out about a film called God Is A Bullet which features Garrett Wareing (Stebbins actor) covered in tattoos, wearing make up and is apparently in a skirt and a cult? Unfortunately it doesn’t seem to have a uk release or is on streaming but I did find it on eBay. I put one on watch list, but it was from Canada (though cost less than getting it from here) and then yesterday I had an offer for it with an extra £2 off so I snapped it up. Sure it’s not coming for a bit but… I’m curious.

Yesterday I’d hoped to do uni stuff but it felt like I was cursed. The laptop did its usual thing when I wanna use it, go slow, decide it needs to update and so I couldn’t do anything with it. I’d hoped that meant today I could do something but nope! It needed to be restarted again (twice!) so I couldn’t do much.

I did manage to start it but I’m so annoyed by it already. The first question is about comparing two datasets and one is fine, it’s already saved in file excel could read. The other? I needed to manually input the entries. All 284 of them so that took up all my time this morning. Ugh.

But yeah yesterday ended up being so low energy and tiring, I even zoned out a bit during the Pokémon stream. I think it’s part due to Monday but also it was the food shop day (and yay we had the mini tacos! I love those things and hate they’re only around now)

I’m thinking of delaying the cinema trip I had planned until next week. Partly because of uni stuff being slower than I hoped and the weather app says a storm is due Friday. Plus going next week will mean I have extra money to work with. (I hate there’s not really anything available now)so yeah next week might have two cinema trips (depending on Pillion’s dates)

Waterparks have announced a tour so I’m hoping it doesn’t sellout before next week. (It’s the worst timing!) There’s vip which feels like a lot (one is over £40 just for early entry, a signed poster and a laminate which just feels like a lot) so I’ll likely just get a ticket. It’s at the same place I’ve been for James and Coheed, so hopefully it’ll be like their shows and not overheat like crazy.

I know there’s something else I was gonna say, but it has completely escaped me. Ah well.

Work today was a lot, but I got done everything I needed to get done and got out. There are stories I could tell but I'm too tired right now to rehash some of the nonsense my coworkers get up to.

Tomorrow, I am heading out to the island for Thanksgiving, and also to see Baby Miss L. She turns three on Monday! THREE! How is that even possible!? (I'm sure I will be posting the same exact thing on Monday.) But they are not having a family party for her, just a friends party, since she has so many friends now! She is quite the social butterfly! So I've packed up the books and clothes that are her birthday gift (and 1 toy - a magnetic tile thing she can build things with), and tomorrow she can open her presents! They go to my niece's in-laws for Thanksgiving (so they spend Christmas day with us), so I might not see her on the day itself, but that's okay I guess, especially if I get some time tomorrow. Plus, middle niece is going to stop by since she is working on Thursday (she's a nurse), so I will get to see her as well. All in all a good time, I hope!

If I don't get a chance to post tomorrow, I hope everyone celebrating has a Happy Thanksgiving! And everyone else has a great Friday Eve, also known as Thursday.

I had better not be getting sick ;_; I laid down for two minutes and every single part of my body went we're just staying down now, and I still haven't managed to get up even though I really want a shower.

(It wouldn't surprise me if I'm sick. I know from experience that if I don't schedule myself some genuine downtime once in a while, eventually I'll just crash, and for one reason or another all of my attempts to schedule downtime for the past year have fallen through. But come on, body, we couldn't wait until Christmas break? I have plans this week.

Kidnapped by Robert Louis Stevenson. Adventures in the Scottish Highlands.

Queen Demon by Martha Wells. Always love Martha Wells' emotionally repressed protagonist voice. Is it wrong that my favorite part of this was the feral, claw-hooved omnivorous Arike horses? <3

In TV, I re-watched Arrow (season 1) and yes it is a silly show but I do really enjoy season 1 where Oliver is just going around shooting people with arrows and we get the Slade and Oliver relationship before everything goes fully insane. I watched the show for them and then season 2 betrayed me so bad! Literally considering a sequel to my now 8-year-old season 1 AU fic where everyone lives and stays friends. Also, shout out to Chris GM51 who collected the flashback scenes into a YouTube playlist so I can just watch the backstory.

Last night ended up being semi restful. I was mostly low energy from the day though so that was annoying.

I did watch strictly and the opening with Steps was really great! I had no idea they had a a musical (or maybe I’did and forgotten) so I’m curious what that could be. While it was good no one went home I did feel so incredibly sad it was because La Voix couldn’t do any more. They were so fun and funny it really sucks, especially after them being so excited to get to Blackpool last week.

After that Iput on the next Strange New Worlds ep which featured the gorn. Or rather it shown the aftermath of them attacking a colony and their ships attacking the enterprise, but you didn’t actually see one. I think it was a great idea to keep them so mysterious like that and I think they are in the series again so maybe they will be shown then. But it was a really good ep.

Then I finished the Wildhood special features which were pretty good. There was only 3 deleted scenes and they were pretty short (Pasmay was only in one but he was shirtless so) and the behind the scenes stuff was cute. (The trans actor got to meet one of the other actors who they really loved which was sweet.compare that with Joshua talking about how Pasmay was a sexual being and attracted to Link from the start) they did make me wanna watch it again so I’ll have to at some point but I think it’s been too soon.

I do have a storage tower I picked up before I had the sickness/glasses issues (so I’ve not fully sorted it like I’d hoped) and I’ve intended the top shelf is for fave blu rays. So far that’s Dungeons And Dragons Honour Among Thieves, Ghostwatch, Mamma Mia, the Sonic films (I still need to watch 3), Wildhood and the first It. (

Today has been a low energy day (mum didn’t even call about walking Naryu) which has been good, so it’s mostly been spent snuggling Midna and bundled. I watched Glass Onion, which is one of those films I’ve meant to see for awhile but not. It was really good, I loved the puzzle boxes at the start and there’s a reveal part way through which really ups it but it’s best to go in blind so I won’t say what that is. But also ahhAngela Lansbury playing Among Us at the start is an awesome concept too.

Since it was Doctor Who day today I did end up putting on the next of the blu ray eps, The Android Invasion.

It’s got a good concept, an alien race planning to invade but sending android duplicates of people first (and having a copy of a village to try them out on). The whole deserted village is unsettling, then the little details (like coins all dates the same day, the androids being motionless sometimes) is just so creepy.

It’s especially creepy when Sarah Jane is replaced. There’s a few subtle ways of telling she’s not real, but the doctor saying it and her face coming off (which is a pretty good effect!) is so creepy. And then an image later of her rising from a pod like a vampire from a coffin…

The Kraals are a bit less effective and I think, like the making of describes, it’s down to the look. (Especially how one is meant to be a surgeon but his hands don’t seem too dexterous!) but I felt the actor playing Guy, a human they captured, was pretty good. (Though I had been bugged by the thought I’d seen him before but couldn’t place it, he was the Castellan from Invasion Of Time.) It being the last ep for both Benton and Harry did feel a disservice to them both. It felt like neither really did much, but we’re just there to be ‘look there’s an ally of the doctor! Oh no he’s been replaced’. It’s a shame cause they were both good characters.

(One of the special features on the disc is a new tribute to Harry’s actor and i can tell it’ll give me feels)

Tomorrow is gonna be ugh. Mum’s friend is coming which is annoying and I’ll have to go into town which I’ve not done for months but maybe I’ll get some good stuff from Iceland, though I’d rather just stay home and not have to go at all.

The rest of the week is gonna be all over the place. I wanna finish up Pokémon ZA, I might have a cinema trip, but I also have a uni assessment to work on (and worry money might be an issue if so that’ll be put back a week). Plus there’s Stranger Things but I dunno which day I’ll start watching, hopefully I’ll start it before the weekend starts. (But I also wanna watch It chapter 2 and the thanksgiving blu ray so who knows)

it's 9 o'clock on a saturday

I just watched that HBO documentary about Billy Joel and though it is long and a little repetitive in some ways, I thought it was well worth watching. I learned a lot that I never knew about him.

In a brief work update, they did finally announce the new CEO on Thursday, but for some reason*, the current board chair refused to give a quote for the press release, so they had the person we think is going to be the new board chair (still a secret for some reason!) give a quote instead.

*now my boss and I are speculating that she had backed a different candidate for the job and is taking it personally that she did not get her way, but that is absolutely just speculation and may be unfair to her. We just can't think of another reason why she's been so weird about the whole thing.

Yesterday was busy with committee meetings, and I logged off at about 4:45 and crashed hard into a two-hour nap, and then slept nine hours when I went back to bed for the night.

I can't believe Thanksgiving is this Thursday. Where did this entire year go?

I think you can guess how today ended up going from the post title.

The day started off pretty bad. I wasn’t able to settle and woke up early, to the sound of rain. I just stayed bundled in bed for awhile, put on the new Redacted ep before coming down.

The first bus was a disaster. First we got on and found that it didn’t go direct to the hospital (despite being like that weekdays. It didn’t even take us to anywhere we could change burs either. Of course I found out only after getting the daysaver which ugh so we got off, then I had a panic about losing the wallet (but found it again) but I did somehow lose the ticket.

The second bus, half hour later, was better, we could head to town and change a bus there (thankfully someone in front of us told us where to pick it up and it was right next to us). At the hospital it was… ugh. I saw a grand total of four people and kept being shifted around. Multiple tests were done and it’s clear from the first one how bad the right eye is (even with glasses I could only read the first 3 lines on the chart, with the other I could read almost seven). I was in the hospital for over two hours and most of the last hour was waiting for the last person. Which… ugh.

He did a test that had been done earlier in the day and then said I’d need to come back in 4-6 weeks for more tests, scans and a check of my glasses. Which ??? It feels like overkill and makes me wonder if they had saw something that needed checking. So ugh that’s more stress, but also I don’t see it happening that soon (with christmas and new year). But ugh. Plus I had to have drops which stung my eyes.

I did take things to do but couldn’t do much because of waiting to be called for various things. I did read one chapter of Halloween Party on the way and some articles in the Empire magazine, including one for Kwaidan which I found out is currently on Amazon prime! Hopefully I can see it.

We went into town and it was busy cause of lights being turned on. We did find where the Forbidden Planet was moved to and I got Exquisite Corpses 6+7, both of which had the cards which was nice (oddly though one was more than the other but I got my student discount). Alas they didn’t have Event Horizon 3 which is apparently a big seller. Which I love, cause Event Horizon is awesome and is cool it’s getting love, but it’s annoying I couldn’t get it.

I did get Until Dawn from the hmv Black Friday sale, so I will have to watch that sometime. I have been curious since I saw the trailer though I didn’t see it in the cinema alas. I also got Clown In A Cornfield at last (thanks hmv assistant for helping me, you were awesome!) which I’m looking forward to see again sometime. (Though I do wish it had special features but maybe they’re just not listed) if I’d had more I might have got weapons too but alas. Damnit why’re sales at bad times?

After going in a few other places we came home so now I’m flop. It does feel like it was a bit of a waste of time and now I have some more stress worrying about more tests (and not looking forward to going back, though should at least have free travel).

Now I’m gonna flop, watch strictly later and maybe watch the Wildhood special features, but maybe will just snuggle with Midna.

I am so tired. I'm going to make an emergency run to the local coffee shop up the street before I go home tonight, just so I can have enough energy to do a few chores when I get home and maybe write a little bit.

It's not even a particularly busy week, it's just cold and gray and I don't have anything urgent enough to hold my attention.

So after the last post I did see Welcome To Derry and ahh! I’m so glad I saw the first It film last week cause that made things hit so much better than they otherwise had (especially the last scene). This ep confirmed that Charlotte Hanlon is the best of the adult main characters. (And also that Taniel is the most pretty man in a Derry and so based) bring on next week’s ep!

Yesterday was the library stint and I read a few more chapters of Halloween party (said party has happened, a body found and Poirot introduced), then then rest of the day was mostly low energy.

Today was the town trip. My mp3 player is so odd. I put the member versions of Everyone’s A Star! as seperate files but the player has plays them as one which is so puzzling. And annoying cause putting the album on plays every song four times as result (bar bonus tracks)

Befroe the cinema I grabbed a drink then went in Asda and ahh! They had a plushie of scoops ahoy Steve! He was the only one there but alas the queue was too long and time was getting on. I did go back later though and got him.

Between films I got noms, using points that were due to expire, then went in a few places but didn’t get much. I did get the It Chapter 2 blu ray (cex had it filed under S instead or I which was why I couldn’t find it) and I picked the jacket up though haven’t tried it on yet. The Walsall primark does seem to have most of the Stranger things stuff too which is pretty cool (bar the jacket) so maybe I’ll get something later.

There were a load of food trucks/stalls along the Main Street (I dunno if it’s an event or what) but on the way to the station I saw one had churros so I had to get them. They were really nice and I saved some for mum when I got back.

New cinema day means trailers! And quite a few were new to me, yipee! (And smushing them all together)

Whistle: this was a very vibes based trailer, but it looks pretty cool from that. I’m curious.
Send Help: At the start of it I was like ugh, but then as it went on it got better. I don’t think I’d make the effort for it though
Five Nights At Freddie’s 2: A new trailer which is pretty cool, I really need to rewatch the first)
The Mandalorian and Grogu: this one wasn’t new but I still squeed when I see it!
Mortal Kombat II: my main thoughts on this was there’s a second one? And also this was attached to a 12a film? It looks like it might be good, but again I’m not sure I’m sold on it (even though it has the guy for Ring in it)
Anaconda: this looked so bonkers and I can tell it’s gonna be a wild time. It’s actually sold me on it.
Primitive War: I read a go review of this at the station ironically. It’s basically Vietnam War+dinosaurs. It sounds like a wild concept but could be fun, though apparently that’s out in just over a week.

The first film was Keeper, which is a bit like Him, in that I saw trailers for it regularly so got intrigued enough to want to see it so was it good?

The second film was Predator Badlands! I’ve not actually seen the mainline a predator films, just Alien vs Predator (I liked the first film but the second??) but the trailers made me so curious.

And since I’m not going to the cinema tomorrow that’s another month of the pass done.
Month 4: October 20th - November 20th
23rd: Black Phone 2
3rd: Frankenstein
5th: Shelby Oaks
19: Keeper, Predator Badlands

Five films this time which is pretty good considering. I think if I didn’t have the pass I’d have only seen one, maybe two. Again I. Glad the pass has let me take a chance on stuff and see stuff I’d normally not be able to or overlook.

Obviously my fav is Frankenstein, but Black Phone 2 and Predator Badlands are pretty equal I think, then Shelby Oaks and lastly Keeper.

I didn’t think I’d be seeing much for the next month but I think I’ll be seeing 5 things again: Wake Up Dead Man/Zootropolis 2, Five Nights At Freddie’s 2/Pillion and The Shining. The last one is a maybe, but I do wanna see it cause of Welcome To Derry which I didn’t expect.

***

When I got home I had a letter confirming Saturday’s appointment and ugh. At the bottom it says you can claim ‘a week’s free bus travel’ but only if you claim it 14 days before the appointment which is just so useless when I got 6 days warning. Ugh.

Also damnit Comic Con Birmingham announcing Jamie Campbell Bower with under a weeks notice. There’s no way I could go with the appointment draining me the day before (and lack of money of course) but damnit.
