This week's Hero Forge Advent Calendar was... rough. We started strong with the mask, but everything else really fell off a cliff for me. Most notably the sword, which I swear somebody let the Work Experience kid or the boss's nephew design, because it's rough as hell. And I found the inspiration image, and it's not even as detailed as that. R-O-U-G-H.
Likelihood of using any of these... low. Maybe the mask, maybe the boots, possibly a version of the jacket (there's a long sleeve version). But I'm not holding my breath.
Anyway.
I moved officially over to "Salad Season" this week. I went back and forth honestly, but in the end decided it was time. And it wasn't terrible. I definitely didn't use enough chicken, but otherwise it was decent.
Mini Media Reviews as we move into the final length... Peacemaker. No. Absolutely not. No thank you. I have no idea who the audience for this is supposed to be, but I absolutely do not want to spend any time with those people. Nor do I ever want to watch any more of it. And can somebody check in with James Gunn's dad, because the way Gunn seems to feel about fathers in general is... worrying.
I also snuck in a the 50th Anniversary Rocky Horror documentary, Strange Journey: The Story of Rocky Horror, directed by Richard O'Brien's son, Linus. If you're a fan of the movie, this is excellent. Although seeing everybody 50 years on is, in spots, hard to do.
No Friday Night DnD this week, so Fluffy and I did Movie Night again and I got to introduce him to Torch Song Trilogy, which we'd only had a conversation about a little while before. Given that is one of the movies that is Very Important To Me. More so, actually, that movie is, as I said to him afterwards, one of the building blocks that I built large segments of my personality upon. And even though I probably haven't watched it in the last 15 years, there are swathes of that movie's dialogue that are just committed to memory and live in my head rent free.
So if you've never seen it, consider this my early Christmas present to you.
Anyway...
Today was a little bit all over the shop.
We started with the supermarket as usual, and although we have both said that we're not just going to buy random shit just because it's the lead up to Christmas... guess what happened.
I also got the third free cast iron thingy this week... the baking tray or roasting pan or whatever it is.
After the supermarket, my car needed a run because it's been a little neglected with the on again off again D&D nights and us not really doing anything on a Saturday. But it's also two weeks til Christmas and only insane people are going to the shops for run. Instead we headed over to Burnside Library to give Ma a change to potter around a different library, and then we did a lap around Burnside Village with is still incredibly underwhelming even with all the renovations. But at least we got our steps in.
