Fuzzyred's Marvelous Reading Nook

An attempt at returning to posting cause I failed the last days doing the things I wanted.

First off the Animal Crossing update is live and I managed to find my game to go on it. It’s been so long I’ve honestly forgotten some of the stuff (I need to look up gyroid fragments cause I’ve honestly forgot what they were) but it has been good going back on it. I’m glad there’s new Splatoon and Zelda items and I’ve been slowly ordering the latter, I now have majora’s mask on which was always my go to think to wear. And I’m so glad for the storage increase so I can clear stuff up. I might redo some parts of my island (it’s currently a mass of flowers) but I’m not sure what I’ll do yet.

As for the new stuff I like the hotel and the tourists wandering around the island is a cute idea. I’m just worried that it won’t be enough to keep long interest (I think there’s only 8 rooms in the hotel to design plus a vip). Maybe there’s other secret features and a long list of items to get from there but…

Thursday night had a Resident Evil showcase which felt too short and kinda pointless. Two of the big things, a Resident Evil concert and amiibo weee met with ‘more info on those soon’. They didn’t even confirm what the amiibo would be (I’m assuming Leon and Grace but..). I am tempted to get game on switch 2 cause if that though once there’s confirmation.

Friday announced the new Lego set finally, the final battle with ganon from ocarina if time. It’s a smart move and looks nice (especially Ganondorf) but I wish there was some of the castle.

In an attempt to distract myself I built the Lego set I got from the sale before new year, which came Tuesday, it was the animal crossing dodo airlines set. It’s like most of the AC sets, annoyingly simple, but the plane is really nice. I just wish it had both of the dodos instead of just the pilot.

Yesterday was a town trip to the cinema. The stuff I’d hoped to do in town was mostly a failure, Tesco didn’t have stuff I was going to get, the Christmas Lego in game I saw in game Tuesday was already gone, smiths still didn’t have stranger things stickers. (Have they really underestimated demand or is distribution terrible?)

On the plus side Smyths did get the Dustin Funko in so I was able to get him (my face when I saw he’d come back in stock the other day I was so glad) and I did get my click and collect from Primark (a tee and jacket) so that was a plus.

(And on the ither plus side there was a cute lil squirrel at the bank by the station)

At the cinema there was a poster for Cold Storage whcih made me squee a bit. I’m so seeing that on release day. Plus the cinema is getting Iron Lung! I hope they add extra times (same for Return To Silent Hill this week) but hopefully I can see it.

Trailers were a few I’d not seen before.
Hoppers: a new trailer showing more of what it’s about, so I’m a bit more curious
Goat: felt too short to form an opinion
Stitch Head: looks really cute, made me laugh
Kangaroo: made me squee cause kangaroo
Looney Tunes The Day The Earth Blew Up: !!! Looney Tunes on the big screen and out the same day I’m gonna be seeing cold storage?? Please have showings that don’t clash.

Thoughts on films (The Boy And The Heron and Labyrinth under the cut)

After the cinema I went one stop extra on the train to go to the outlet cause I had a birthday code that needed using at the Lindt store (I had till today to use it which was annoying) the. I just came home and flopped.

I did manage to watch the first ep of Seven Dials before tiredness and headache set in. It was really good though it is strange seeing an Agatha Christie adaption after I’ve read the book (with the others I read last year most were Poirot’s that I’d seen the eps of) so it was strange to hear names and go ‘ah! Them!’ There has been a few changes so I am curious what else it’ll do. But so far it seems reallly good.

Also yeaterday the gingerbread Lego AT-AT came, which had been meant to be a Christmas present. I probably would’ve left it a few days but mums friend is coming tomorrow and as it was a joint thing with her and mum I figured I should do it today. It looks nice and it is different. I feel because of how fast it sold out (and stayed that way) that there’ll do another gingerbread Lego thing this year but what I dunno.

This week there’s mums annoying friend coming tomorrow then Friday is Return To Silent Hill (but only if they add a better time I don’t wanna miss the traitors finale) and then I wanna finally watch Seeds Of Doom in the weekend. But we’ll see.
