Re: Monthly Chat - August, 2020
@Afrim hope your feeling better.
@Dark eagle, I haven't' tried codex alera yet, Dresden was fun popcorn, and I've not read peacetalks yet, but between Dresden's sexism, annnoying self obsessions and constantly getting more power I don't think I'd regard it as a pure favourite, though it had nice moments.
To people going to uni or college, hope you have as good a time as I did and get what you need.
The only major mistake I made in terms of university was thinking that the really good time I had there and the wonderfully accepting environment I was in would last the rest of my life, which it hasn't.
I confess it's not exactly easy right now, given that it's actually my birthday. What are we doing to mark this auspicious occasion? Bugger all!
my mum, in probably the best example of "It's the thought that counts," is putting some cash into my bank to go for a meal out with my lady, ----- whenever that becomes possible! but given there was a recent corona virus outbreak in the town where I live, and given we've been in ultra lockdown anyway, given that the stupid government are continuing to stupidly try and encourage everyone to go out and spend money whilst making a few genuflections in the direction of taking what the immunologists and other experts say seriously, when the heck that will be possible is anyone's guess.
My brother has bought something cool, some of the newly created recux of the original heman figures, heman and skeletor, which will arrive in Setempber, that will be a blast from the past.
However, unfortunately despite my mum urging me to "do something special", so that today isn't "just another day", "just another day" is pretty much what we're getting.
Heck, we can't even order takeaway given that we had pizza last week, our local chinese only accepts cash, and an indian that we tried only accepts their own stupidly inaccessible ordering ap.
Then again, I freely admit, material wise there isn't much I want at this point in time anyway.
I'm also a little sad since this is once again, a summer with no opportunities to do any on stage performing after Aims international music school closed down due to the founder's greed in not letting anyone else take it over when he got tired of it.
On the plus side, I've started game of thrones season 5.
It's obviously out the other end of the books, and some events are a bit weird at this point, EG Jaime still being under Circie's thumb, Little finger marrying Sansa off to Ramsy bolton, and Baristan Selmy's untimely death which doesn't occur in the books, but it's interesting to get some new plot none the less.
I have heard that season 8 and the final ending is a major case of shark jumping, but it doesn't seem to have happened yet.
So hope everyone else is having a slightly better August than I am.
