Thank you Mikeyway for posting a photo of some excellent new boots. I hope you'll continue to wear them forever, and you know, if you wanted to you could go for the whole eyeliner thing again too that would be great. I know, not going to happen but a girl can dream
Anyone watching The Boys on Amazon? It's an interesting take on superheroes and how behind the masks they can be mean, bad and flawed people. I'm only two episodes in but am enjoying it so far. Though, none of the characters, apart from Starlight, are that likeable.
James was sent home from work again yesterday. He's been at the doctors this morning, and amazingly the blood lady managed to get four full vials. Seriously, in all the years I've been attending appointments with him no one has done that, usually they end up having to go in his foot and manage to get at most, half a tube. Hopefully, these complete blood tests will show any issues until then he has to keep on with counselling and his work has pretty much said to not go back until he's fully up to it. Understandably, his mental health is pretty much in the gutter right now.
But, he's doing all he can do. Is going to the doctors, counsellors, trying to make lifestyle changes. For now, that has to be enough.

I watched The Boys (and also read the comic book it is based on. Though that was a few years ago) and liked it just okay. OTOH, it has Karl Urban and he's one of those actors who will always get a pass from me. OTOH, although I do think it has a couple of interesting points (seeing how the past 5 or so years have become the Age of Superheroes in mainstream media), the bulk of ideas and opinions it serves feel about a decade old?
FTR, there's going to be a second season so, hey, at least more Karl Urban?
Many, many warm hugs to James. Please let him know we're all rooting for him. <3

I love seeing him in eyeliner, but I wouldn't be surprised if he had hated wearing it in the end. I suspect it could have been one of those things where a bit of eye makeup was a good thing when he was doing his whole scene king thing. But the more time went on it very much became part of his image. Oh well, I'll always have the photos.
I've stalled watching The Boys. I liked it well enough and it has a premise that's interesting but I started to find the balance of likeable to unlikeable characters unbalanced. It seemed very black and white with few shades of grey, and it's those shades I like. Though, as I haven't seen to the end yet I realise more could be revealed yet.
No doubt I will watch to the end at some point. Probably when I'm done watching wall to wall Christmas movies and festive baking specials.
