girlofpreyI went to the Yorkshire Wildlife Park today, with my parents. It was nice. There's not a huge amount of animals there, but we saw some lions, and some giraffes, and some polar bears, and some leaping lemurs. And some painted dogs, which are super pretty, and I've never seen in person before. It's pretty good considering it's only half an hour from my house and only costs £16 to get in.
The news out of Germany has been a real shock to me, as I'm sure it has been to lots of people. We still don't know what happened, but it's looking pretty grim from a mental health standpoint. A part of me's worried there's going to be a backlash against people with mental illnesses because of it, and Piers Morgan seems to be already leading that charge. Ugh.
On the other hand, I'm incredibly happy Jeremy Clarkson has finally been fired from Top Gear. OH HAPPY DAY. Quite apart from how I feel about him, though, his behaviour has just been getting worse as the years have gone by because everyone let him get away with it, and if they didn't punish him for hitting someone, he'd have ended up killing someone at some point. And been like "oh, but was I PROVOKED though? Their very existence provoked me'. So I'm glad consequences have come to pass, finally.
I got the PS4 remaster for Borderlands yesterday, for my birthday, and I sort of wasn't going to before I learned it was coming out on my birthday, and that seemed a little too perfect to ignore. But I'm glad I did, because it has made the whole game 10x more beautiful. Some games you really can't tell the difference, but Borderlands, the style must really suit a remaster or something, because every time I move in-game there's just so much more depth and everything looks great. Super happy with my purchase now. And I might be able to exchange about 3 game cases for just the one.
