The phone engineer came on Thursday morning out to sort my landline and now everything is REALLY fixed, for reals this time. Phew.
He even updated the box inside my house so that I don't have to use a splitter, and the phone and router just plug straight into the wall! AMAZING.
While that was going on (because he had to do more work outside my house at the junction box), I saw that Aoife from Eurogamer was streaming The Medium, so I decided to have a look at it. I'd already watched Oxbox's gameplay video of it, and decided it wasn't too scary, and I told myself could always switch the stream off if it was. Well, folks, it was so not scary, that I decided to watch the follow up stream the next day and by god I wish I hadn't. Not because it suddenly became scary, but because the story's treatment of several sensitive issues made me extremely angry. It's two days later and I'm still fuming about it.
I debated whether to make a key smashy entry, but decided against it (for now). I'm still tossing up whether to write a full blown entry about it or not as, to some degree, I won't have much to add to what's already been said about it by other people. Although possibly I could do it for the purposes of being cathartic. We'll see. No promises.
Other than that, nothing interesting has happened, except that my second hand copies of the Matrix soundtracks came. I haven't listened to them yet, but they all seem to be in pretty good nick, which is what you'd hope for.
