My X-Files boxset is here! \o/

I have so far watched up to Jersey Devil, which admittedly isn't that far considering I've had it for four days already. I've been watching it on my portable DVD player, which has a tiny screen, and therefore everything looks terrible unless the scene is well-lit. Most scenes in the X-Files aren't well-lit, so you can imagine how this is going.

I am also having that thing I had with Lost where everything is familiar and yet not at the same time. Like, for the most part I've been able to remember certain things about episodes, but not how we get there.

I thought I was going to want to write down reactions, or at least quotes, but so far I have not had the urge.

In other news, I told my boss from my former voluntary job that I would go out to the Xmas meal with them this evening and I really don't want to! Partly because it will be in the same pub as last time, although it's the middle of the week this time, so hopefully people won't be as noisy/disruptive? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I just. I am not a fan of places with lots of people in them, let's be real (the older I get, the more baffled I am that I could deal with conventions, because now my brain would nope t f out of it).

But I also partly don't want to go because I just want to sit at home and not be around people because I get enough of that when I'm at work. (I am currently off work, which is why I want as little human interaction as possible, lol).

Finally, I think I am really nearly at the end of P5R! It's about bloody time; I feel like I've been playing it forever.
I got the cat a new scratching board, because she needs one, and she hasn't used it because it's curvy instead of flat. She is such a fussy madam, I swear, and I don't know why, because this isn't how I raised her.

Anyway, besides that, last night I went out with a bunch of people that I work with for team bonding a meal out. I didn't want to go, because it was in one of the local pubs that does cheap food, and I hate pubs*. I thought I was going to have to cry off because I felt mildly unwell during the day, but then I felt okay, so I didn't. And also I would have felt guilty about it because I didn't go to the last one because of the buses being stupid (and it ended up getting cancelled). This time one of the ladies I work with gave me a lift there and back, so I didn't have to worry about buses.

It was mostly okay. I mean, it's not like I didn't know anyone there, just. People. You know?

There were a bunch of young 'ins came in and sat near us, and they were there for around an hour or so. They were loud and shouty and I STG they were deliberately louder because they saw me visibly flinch a couple of times. But I can't say for sure, and it's not like I'm going to hunt them down and interrogate them about it.

But other than that, yeah, it was mostly okay, except I am tired because people and I didn't sleep well last night.

Finally, replying to a comment from [personal profile] honigfrosch about the music rec posts reminded me that I can't remember if I posted links to the older ones here or not, so here they are anyway:

Massive Video Game Music rec list
Ten Songs by the Manics That I Don't Think Are Obvious Recs (DISCLAIMER: I now disagree with my past self for some of them but, at the time I wrote this, I was all like NEW! SHINY! VERY EXCITED! etc)
My Current Top Ten Fifteen Twenty Songs by the Manics

So yeah, enjoy!

*This is to do with them being too noisy and full of drunk people, generally. I am a curmudgeon, what can I say.
