Some random thoughts for the morning to complete my post spam. Sorry I’ve been off tumblr since Saturday, add in the new episode, and I had to catch up.
1) Lana Parrilla is an amazing actress and should win all the awards. I’ve seen the episode, and I have notes, and I will be typing up my review later today 🙂
2) I’ve somehow screwed up my wordpress installation so I can’t delete spam user accounts from the dashboard anymore. Honestly why do spammers even do that? Nobody reads that blog, it’s password protected /facepalm.
3) I did a thing yesterday! So for once I’m actually going to say something not TV related because it’s a big thing for me. I never do anything, mostly because I’m too scared and also you know money, but yesterday I actually went to London. I went to The Crystal Maze experience and it was actually really good, a very accurate replication of the show. I would recommend. It is pricey but they didn’t half-ass it, the zones and tasks are all properly made, complete with climbing ladders, crawling through tunnels and “start the fans” with grabbing the tickets in the dome at the end. Best of all (for me) I managed to not have a panic attack, or pass out, even on the trains.
I did come close when this guy came along the carriage, acting all serious and started his sentence with “I don’t want to cause anyone distress” cue instant adrenaline rush as a 101 nightmare scenarios come into my head. Turned out he just wanted money, but yikes especially given the events of the week, so damn scary. Honestly I loathe the trains, I thought they were busy but turns out that was near deserted for London, I just can’t handle crowds. The stations are madness, everyone going in a million different directions and there are a gazillion platforms. I’m just grateful we stuck to the overground. The last time I went on the tube was a decade ago. I thought I was going to die and vowed never to go back. Until yesterday that was the last time I went to London.
So yeah Crystal Maze thing was good, and my appreciation for commuters who have to deal with that all the time is even higher, and I already had tremendous respect.
4) Due to yesterdays adventure I wrote nothing all weekend, so I should kinda get on that today as I don’t have anything to post – again.
