So, an update - I couldn't ask her out because the owner of the stall was there, and I pussied out (turns out, she didn't tell me this, but her parents own the mead shop, so best I didn't ask).  On the bright side, I went out, got drunk and received some totally unexpected but very welcome attention from a girl out for her birthday, and I've been told that our interaction is a pretty bold approximation of what pulling is like these days, so that's nice.

I'm wondering if the mate who told me this is confusing being friendly with being interested though, since I have a lot of friends who'll make a beeline for me, and none of them want to shag me... I think.

Well, you could always ask to make sure~

Ugh, seems like my laptop battery is getting fucky again. Doesn't seem to be displaying the remaining charge properly, or, worse yet, doesn't seem to be able to charge, gonna have to take some time to see for sure. First problem is straightforward to fix, just gotta tke the whole damn thing apart, pull out the battery, start it without it then pull it apart again and put it back in to force the thing to play nice. It's wierd since the last time this happened was when I updated my BIOS (which itself was done to fix another problem) and I haven't fiddled with the thing in a while, so no clue what might've caused this issue to reappear :V

Could be corrosion on the contacts, or just the battery being shit, or being worn out. I think they're supposed to be kept between 30-80%, which is not how batteries get used.

Papers, Please, Celeste, Heat Signature, Return of the Obra Dinn. So many indie gems, so little time and money.

Super Best Friends have disbanded.  I'm going to miss the weekly friday night fisticuffs series.

When I got home my housemate told me that one of his favourite grou - and I immediately interrupted him to tell him that yes, I know.  I didn't care because I don't watch them, but the magic of the internet had made me aware before he could even tell me.

[Yoink]

Hmm. I was planning on going to visit friends this evening. It is now half-past eight, DST. The last bust probably goes sometime before ten. My friend didn't reply to my last message about "yeah might head over there later" and it seems my subconscious has seized on that lack of response as ample reason not to go. How unhelpful.   

Edit: golly. Depression can go eat a fart.

Watched Aquaman and its the only film I actually regret buying tickets for.

Not sure why it's so well reviewed.

Looking at IMDB it looks like the it's the first DCU movie since Wonder Woman to not be considered middling and/or trash. People are very pleased about that.

Basically it's a 10/10 in comparison to the recent drivel, so says the internet.

Pfft, that's nothing. I saw Fury Road in the cinema with friends when it came out. Not only did I have to suffer through it, I got gouged for $17 or whatever.

I just had to suffer watching a DVD of it that my in-laws have.

I’m sorry for your loss.

Aquaman has man-tits to make you wet. That's pretty much the main reason to watch it, so far as I'm aware.

I mean, my girlfriend has watched the Conan remake, twice... But she firmly refuses to watch the original, because it doesn't have Jason Momoa in it.


I didn't really care for Wonder Woman. I think my main problem with it was just how much it got praised by others, particularly for the strength of Wonder Woman as a female lead and role model.

...But she wasn't, she was physically strong by virtue of magic bullshit, but her personality was extremely lacking and she spent the movie trailing around on the arm of the male lead... Because that's what women do, right?

I did appreciate the mention of Morning Rage and the traumatized sniper, though. And I do love me some David Thewlis, but for fuck's sake don't shove him in a suit of spiky armor... Or write off all of human war and aggression on "lol gods".


Fury Road at least had an epic-level bard and some memes in it.

[Yoink]

Went out and started walking in the direction of the gig I'd sorta planned on going to tonight, only to get almost to my destination, realise that the band I most wanted to see would be finishing in about five minutes and that my anxiety hadn't really lessened any during the walk, and turn around and walk home. *sigh*
So much for that. My social life is in desperate need of resuscitation.   

I should probably at least walk to a bottleshop so that this evening isn't a complete loss.

Fury Road was the best goddamn action movie to come out in the '10's and I will challenge anyone who says different to a car chase through the desert until death.

Wonder Woman was solid, but had problems with pacing and characters that were set up to have but never got the time for character development. I both appreciate that the sniper didn't just overcome his problem to be heroic and were severely disappointed that he didn't just overcome his problem to be heroic. I really dislike the "WW1 had Nazis right" depiction of the Germans. Apart from this I felt it was on the level of most Marvel superhero movies, quality-wise. Ie, not something I'd race about to friends but something I don't feel would have been a waste of money or time to have seen in the cinema.

As for Aquaman I have no intentions of seeing it, particularly now that the DC serie-verse has been cancelled. Jason Momoa is fucking hit though.

My problem with Wonder Woman (I never watched the movie I'm just talking in general) is that her super power is being able to break the 5th Amendment at will. That is, she can force people to testify against themselves. You'd think a hero wearing a red/white/blue American flag one-piece wouldn't be a living corruption of the spirit of justice.

I don't think that matters much since the testimony is guaranteed to be the truth.
