Today is my last day at work before Lockdown 2.0! It's a volunteer day, so I could feasibly have skipped it but: a) I need to take back a 3DS I brought home to test, and b) I left my cat umbrella there on Saturday because I'm an idiot and I'm having A Week*.
We are supposed to open again in early December, when the lockdown ends, but right now I don't know how likely that is.
I have a lot of feelings about how the government has not handled this pandemic, but I've already vented offline A LOT, and I'm not going to repeat myself here, because I think most British people probably know what I'm thinking already.
*I left my trolley coin in a trolley at Lidl on Weds; nearly left my keys outside the house (also Weds); forgot to feed the cat last night; and forgot to put the tins back in the oven after I cooked my dinner yesterday. When I sat and thought about it, I realised it felt much like when I was badly depressed in 2004, and kept forgetting the most basic shit, and no, thank you! But this year is jerking everyone around a lot, so honestly, I shouldn't be surprised that I feel like this.

Meanwhile, In Dark Souls:
- I cheesed the Capra Demon because eff that. Did you know the dogs respawn afterwards? I got ambushed by them coming up from the shortcut to the Firelink Shrine/the door to the Depths.
- I then ran face first into some mini-bosses in the Depths because that's one of the ways this game is gimmicky. So I've done a couple of other things instead of fighting them, because their design scares me (they're called Butchers and they carry cleavers, and *shudders* - everything else is gross, but they legit terrify me).
- this included attempting the Titanite Demon near Andre. I got it down to about a third of its health, which I wasn't expecting, but then I also gave up on that for the time being.
- so then I did a levelling run, which ended badly to begin with because I forgot how to get from the Firelink Shrine to the Undead Parish, and ended up being mobbed by ninja, whose weapons gave me blood loss and I died! (because low level mooks mobbing you is also one of the ways this game is gimmicky).
- this person on reddit built Anor Londo in Minecraft, and it is flipping AMAZING. I will never cease to be amazing with what people make in Minecraft, ever. They have WAY more skill and patience than me.
