girlofpreyIt's been 8 days since I last posted, and I'm sure I had a bunch of things to say, but I can't remember them now.
I've received a beautiful card of CHRISTMAS RESCUE from the![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
whatho, thank you whatho. Also my sister came down to our house - that was fun. It's my nephew's first birthday today, but my mum went off on an overnight trip yesterday, so we wouldn't have had time to do anything as family today. So I knew it was going to be a weekend we'd be celebrating it, but I really assumed it would be this weekend. But no, last Saturday, as we were getting ready to go to a Christmas do at a local park with my MN and ON, my mum suddenly told me we were having them all down the next day. I hadn't even got my YN a present, they had to drop me off as we got back from the park at about 5 o'clock at a Poundstretcher so I could get him something. THEN, on Sunday morning, my mum suddenly broke the news that my sister HAD been angry, extremely angry, about the fact I didn't lend her any DVDs last week, and mum just hadn't mentioned it. I'd asked that night if my sister had said anything when they dropped my ON back off at home, and mum just said my dad had taken him, and hadn't said anything about it. But no, apparently the next day she had a massive go at mum about it, and had said she'd been 'livid' when she realised I hadn't sent her any DVDs. But not to worry, mum said. She been talking about coats I might like the day afterward, and probably wouldn't say anything in our house to me. Which was, y'know, lovely.
But in the end it was fine, as soon as my sister came in she looked right at me and smiled. Not in a creepy way. And then we were mostly just focused on my YN and his birthday, which was good for me as I hardly get to see him. He can walk a few steps now, if someone's there to lure him towards them and catch him when he falls on them. And my sister didn't say anything at all, just tried to joke with me randomly as usual. I guess, also as usual, she's okay to just rant at mum about things and not say anything actually to me.
Also, I caught a bit of Coronation Street on Friday. It was only a bit of the last episode, but I learned that surrogacy is a nearly unheard of practice that is one of the worst things you can do. I don't know, did everyone in the Rovers know Owen was paying Tina to do it? Because otherwise attitudes to things in Manchester must just be very different to attitudes everywhere else. Also, a policewoman turned up and Steve's first comment was either an assumption or a joke that she was a stripper. Nice. However, I did learn - as I suspected - that I would really love David and Tina to be friends again, although they probably shouldn't date again. And that David looks beautiful when he cries just slightly.
I went to see Skyfall again with my dad yesterday, while my mum was away. And while I still love Bond/Silva, it is still clear that Silva loves M the most. However, last night I noticed that out of everything, Bond clearly loves his car the most. The look on his face when Silva blows it up. It's like shit just got real. It was quite nice to see it again though, if only so the beautiful credits sequence makes more sense.
Afterwards, dad and I discussed the many plot holes of the film and rookie mistakes of the characters. For a film that goes on about England and British Fortitude so much, you'd think they'd have remembered the number one rule of Blitz Spirit, and turned that torch off when they were going across the moors. Oh well. Dad said he didn't think he liked the Bond films, because they were a bit too grandiose and not gritty 'like the Bourne films'. I haven't seen the Bourne films, but if they're as sci-fiy as the trailer for the new one makes them look, I'm not sure I agree with dad on that one.
And I have continued to play Skyrim and Hearthfire, which is buggy as hell. Like - ridiculously buggy for a game that was made professionally and released by a successful game studio, for money. Crash-to-desktop buggy. RIDICULOUSLY buggy. But I still love my houses and my kids. Then I loaded a save from a couple of days ago and gave up on a bunch of progress, all because of my continuing love of hot Orc women. Ahhh.
Also, I have been rewatching old Arrested Development episodes. And it turns out Jane Lynch was in it! As a redwood of a whore! I love Arrested Development.
Also, it is cold as hell. Also, I still don't know what I want for Christmas, aside from one thing I have asked my mum to get me. So it'll probably be money, this year.
