Days 420 - 426

I have really got behind on this blog (it is the 26^th July as I type these words!!! So, the next few entries will be pretty brief!!!) This week (Monday 26^th March to Sunday 1^st April I:

Finished watching Season 3 of Twin Peaks and it was good to catch up with all the characters and see what happened in the nearly thirty-year gap between now and Season 2. And I think that was my favourite bit of Season 3, the “weird bits”, like episode/part 8, were fun and intriguing and Bob being caught was satisfying, the best bit was just being with these characters. 

I also saw the live action Justice League film, which was ok, so good bits, some not so good, but it wasn’t as good as the animated DC films, which, to me, better get the characters. And I saw American Made, which was fun and entertaining, but felt a bit too much like a series of events rather than a story, which I guess it should as it’s based on a real person’s story and real life isn’t like a movie! It also left me thinking about how American’s view their history, because American Made sets out how the CIA facilitated drug barons, South American rebels and other criminal activities, which should shock and appal, but because it’s Tom Cruise doing these things is it more palatable and forgivable?

I also brought some CDs, ‘With The Beatles’, for their cover of ‘Money’, which is great (as are the other covers), but I haven’t listened to the rest of album as I think that The Beatles are pretty much the most over rated band in the world and ‘Night Works’ by Layo and Bushwacka!, is a great album, which has a kinda mixtape feel, as there are a couple of short tracks (like radio static) that act as intro’s or bridging to the next “proper” track.

I also listened to two R.E.M. Best Ofs, as they have too many songs to fit onto one best of (or it’s because of switching record labels and the labels cashing!) and the new Jagwar Ma album, ‘Every Now & Then’, on which Jagwar Ma sound more comfortable or have more grown into their sound (I think the NME would call it ‘nu-baggy’) and it’s a great album.

Brought some very great comics on NCBD:

Watched James Acaster shows on Netflix, and they are very funny and you should watch them asap.

I did the G2 crossword:

And got very little little sleep this week, sometimes it felt like I only managed an hour or so a night, which meant that I felt very lightheaded and woozy during the daytime. There was a “sweet spot” in the late morning/early afternoon where I’d feel ok for a couple of hours, but aside from that I just felt wrecked and knackered.
