turpsCorey phoned yesterday and told me that for his birthday his girlfriend had bought him MCR tickets, the Sunday show at Milton Keynes I'm 99% happy for him and 1% jealous. And you know I'll be asking for details afterwards.
Today we've been to see A Good Day in the Neighbourhood, and I enjoyed watching it. But, I think I would have liked it even more if I had any emotional attachment to Fred Rogers and his show, as it was, I had no idea who he was or what he did. Yes, it was a feel-good film with a nicely happy ending, but often I was expecting Mr Rogers to break out into a simmering rage as his anger seemed to be lurking beneath the surface. I don't know if he's supposed to read that way, but showing the way he dealt with and repressed his anger made me sad for him, like all his happiness and pleasant nature was only achievable with iron control.
The heating had gone in our screen, so it was a bit chilly in there. So much so that they were offering free tea and coffee.

hc_bingo is running a mini-challenge round where you have until March 1st to write a story that contains all four prompts. As always, in a fit of optimism, I joined, and my prompts are -- wild card, taking care of somebody, haunted and dehumanisation. Which are great prompts but sadly can't bend to fit my ongoing bodyswap story at all. Hey, if I can I'll cheat a little to get a fill actually done. So, I'll have to think on them.
Also,hurtcomfortex is gearing up again, but I'll have to think what fandoms to offer because there seems only to be me and one other person writing Musketeers for challenge exchanges so we've drawn each other a few times now.
And related, hello Santi in the episode three trailer for episode three of Picard. I'm very much looking forward to seeing you again on my screen.
