I am beckoning the cooler weather with crochet and starting my annual Gilmore Girls rewatch. It is so bloody hot right now. I am SWEATING.
Sorry for anyone who has texted, DM'd, emailed, carrier pigeoned me lately. Life has been lifing, I've been poorly this week and I'm generally shit at getting back to people thanks to my fried spicy brain. 🫠 Don't worry about giving me another prod, nudge or flick.
I've been suffering from a pancreatic flare up the last couple of days which means sleeping, painkillers and liquids only. Anytime I've been awake today I've tried to fix my boredom with this. What a godsend. I've not really been in the mood for any cosy Switch games so The Walking Dead will work.
How did I spend my weekend? Well it was kinda digital free in a way. I tinkered and listened to my minidisc players (the only album I have is Sum41s All Killed No Filler), listened to the radio on my Walkman, played some of The Walking Dead telltale games and took pictures on my camera on my walk. 💜
I fell in LOVE with Kingdom Hearts back in the PS2 days and as a fan the lore still confuses me at times. So with the latest releases (Kingdom Hearts IV aaah!) I thought I'd try to help some new and old fans alike! Here's hoping it doesn't confuse you all even more! 🥺 youtu.be/eaGb4wm9tr8?...
I woke up quite a lot throughout the night and the early hours of this morning. Aching muscles still from the gym, the smothering heat and of course Buri wanting breakfast. I didn't expect a visit from Paul McCartney though. He's safely in the garden now. Perhaps a sign to play Kubuto Park?
Andrew's playing Xbox, I'm playing Switch 2 and Buri is playing PS5. A proper gaming household.
Me tomorrow, the last month and likely every day until Buri stops waking me up at stupid o'clock.
Before I go to sleep I just want to say again how amazing the last couple days were. Words cannot properly describe my feelings. I suppose surprise, gratitude and awe come to mind. Let's not forget the many laughs, inspiration and of course, "pinch me" moments. Thank you @hookshot.media 🥹
I completed Control last night and I really enjoyed it! Now I'm vibing by playing through Foundation and some post game stuff. It just makes me want to replay Quantum Break again but my Xbox One is almost dead. 💀 I'll have to wait. Now for a lightheaded game! What are you playing right now?
I know I always go on (at least to myself) about how much I love The Last of Us games but I don't care. Currently playing Chronological Mode and with every playthrough I'm discovering new things. Plus I beat my high score in the aquarium 😝
I love my cat Buri so much but jfc these early wakes are killing me. It's been 5am for the last 2 or so weeks. Last night was 2am with frequent wake ups after. I'm going to need barrels of coffee to get through today. But then again look at that wee face. 🥺 I can't believe he turns 10 this month.
Buri has decided to take my side of the bed. At least I have a cuddle buddy whilst I play more of The Last of Us Part 2 in bed. Either way it's an early night it seems.
I love my short hair, especially as my natural waves and curls can now be free and mad. But if one more person says I have bed hair or I should brush it deserves a smack with said hairbrush because when it's brushed it looks SO MUCH WORSE. Non curly/wavey hair havers just don't get it.
