Good Omens 3

(huge spoilers ahead)

That was Nice but I wish it was a little bit more than Nice. Jesus was bafflingly underused which is a shame because Bilal Hasna was EXCELLENT. I did like that they managed to sneak a tiny cameo in of Adam the Antichrist seemingly maybe dating Jesus in the rewritten world!

Everyone is so mad about the ending but I’m not. Asa and Anthony are Aziraphale and Crowley in every way that matters as far as I can see, they’re a cosmic fanfiction turned canon, it really worked for me. I accept it might not work for everyone.

I don’t know. I’m fine with what we got, but I probably would have been fine if it really had ended at season 2. There’s just something so, I don’t know, meta-poetic about a pair of fictional lovers separated forever because their God turned out to be a rapist.

Pokopia

It’s the APOKEALYPSE!

Pokopia is at its core a very sad game, far sadder than I expected, but I had a ton of fun playing it. It scratches the itch left behind by Animal Crossing perfectly.


My favourite feature was the camera, as always.


Look at all those little guys! All my favourites in one place… Except Spheal. WHY DID THEY NOT INCLUDE SPHEAL. Maybe for the DLC?

Oh I forgot to mention, I also hopped back on Pokemon Go for the first time in a very long time to collect the Pokopia Ditto.

Call the Midwife finale

0 Comments

This show has been ongoing for most of my adulthood, it feels like, and now it’s over. I’m so sad. I’m looking forward to the prequel series and the eventual movie but it’s going to be so weird not having CTM to watch at the beginning of every year. I loved it so. Yes the finale was cheesy and overblown and the ghosts bit was so silly but I don’t care. They don’t make ’em like that anymore.

Soham murderer Ian Huntley dies after prison attack

I was still a young teenager when the Soham murders happened, not really all that much older than the victims. My family were on holiday in Cornwall, and it was the first time I had a hotel room of my own instead of sharing with the rest of my family. So every night I’d go upstairs to my own hotel room and turn on the TV (this was pre-smartphones) and watch the news and see people desperately searching for those little girls in their red football shirts. It sent my anxiety through the roof.

Hope he’s burning in hell.

Boats For Women

, , 0 Comments

It was 1912. Women didn’t have the vote yet. That wouldn’t happen until 1918 for Britain and 1920 for America. And even then it wasn’t all women. To put it bluntly, it was a terrible time to be female…

…unless you were in one very specific scenario: on board an ocean liner about to sink with limited space on the lifeboats.
