I did not carry on with watching Resident Evil longplays. I instead opted for Earthbound, as this week's been somewhat stressy, and I wanted to watch something a bit more cheerful (I know EB is terrifying when you think about it, but the fight descriptors and the music and the sprites make me smile. SO). I am currently just before Saturn Valley.

Oh, and talking of games, I randomly found out last night that Miitomo is closing down? I haven't touched it in over a year, so if I hadn't seen someone I follow on twitter talking about it, I never would have known. I still have it installed on my phone because now and then I've thought about going back on it, but it just...didn't grab me after a while. I may as well delete it now, I guess, because there's no point keeping it (and I never made any more Miis besides myself, and I've already got one of me on my 2DS anyway, so I don't need to save it. I feel like I am rambling!)

Anyway, I guess the point is that I am not entirely sad to see it go, but I kind of am? *shrugs*

I knitted a scarf while scaring myself with zombies! It was using the expensive cotton yarn I bought back last year (I wish I'd bought two skeins now, but it was expensive, so I couldn't justify it to myself).

I've done bits and bats of drawing, and am thinking about making a bunch of paintings of busts of people, because that's all I seem to be drawing right now (or wanting to draw, outside of making animal characters. Though I've lost steam on that, because I want a world for them to exist in before I make them, and I don't know about that yet).

I've got an eye test on Monday, and I'm actually looking forward to it, because I think my eyes have been funky for about a year at this point. I'm hoping my eyesight has changed enough to get a new pair of glasses, because the ones I've got are doing my nut (the sides dig into my head when I have headphones on and gdi, it hurts us precious). Also I'd like slightly bigger lenses, as I don't feel I've been able to see so well on the edges of my vision. And it would be nice to be able to see well again.
Holy moly, my flist is not having a good time!

Please consider yourselves all hugged, even if you're having a good time.

The Sky box is fixed. The guy who came to look at it rebooted the box, essentially doing an OS reinstall, which wiped all our saved recordings and (sort of) made me cry (though tbh I had a lot of stuff backing up that I really wasn't bothered to watch, but couldn't bring myself to delete). He also put us a new dish up, because that seemed to be the problem, so yaaaaaaay everything is fixed!

He also said he's in town every day (I suspect, given his accent, that he lives somewhere nearby), so if we had any problems to give him a call, and he'd come and have a look. Which was very nice of him, and totally not required.

Anyway! Telly problems are fixed yaaaaay \o/

I am playing Miitomo! (Well, let's face it, it's the closest I'll get to Tomodachi Life for forever). It is cute and weird and I like it? I like that it's not demanding of you, and you can skip questions if you feel like answering it right then.

My Mii looks nothing like me, but I'm not bothered (my xbox avatars don't look anything like me, either).

OH YEAH AND. I did a completely daft thing earlier. I added an offline friend on twitter, who I haven't spoken to in years*, and who doesn't know that he knows me (he probably doesn't even remember me). Which. I'd been thinking about searching for him, because I've been thinking about him a lot recently. And then an entirely weird set of coincidences led me to his twitter account! And I know it's him, because he'd posted a pic of himself and even with shades on, I recognised him.

(I also freaked out momentarily, because I realised he could find his way here, and find out very easily that I used to have a crush on him. Er, except that he found out I had a crush on him because I told him???** He gets the prize for giving me the nicest brush-off, though, even if I was heartbroken at the time. Which I was. But I totally picked the wrong time anddddd I'm fairly certain he wasn't ever into me like that anyway).

Anyway, none of this matters, because he doesn't know who I am! So I'm getting wound up about nothing.

OOH AND. [personal profile] halley said she thought I should do some more voice posts. I don't know what about, so I'm going to start with anything that I've cohesively keyboard-bashed about on here - which right now all I can think of is my two Bowie posts, so now I've just got to get over myself and do it (I'm frightened the one will make me cry, but if it does, I'll just have to do it again on a day when it doesn't, right?)

Topic suggestions are welcome! I can't promise I'll do a post about it, but who knows!

*I was trying to figure it out a while ago, and it's got to be at least a decade since I spoke to him last.

**I know, right? What on earth was I thinking??
