Aka Tuesday 18th September
There was more scratching last night and at around 5am I was
woken up by furious scratching, I turned on the light and saw that the mouse
was dying. It was flipping itself over and over, like it was on a hot plate or
griddle. I scooped up the mouse in a waste bin and took him out to garden to
put him to rest. I also:
…did the G2 crossword:
…which also went okay, just needed to cheat on five of the
24 clues, although I’m a tad annoyed that I didn’t get ‘evict’ from ‘force out’
given that ‘Can’t Pay? We’ll Take It Away!’ was playing on the TV as I was
doing the crossword! And I learnt that ‘Seth’ was ‘Adam and Eve’s third son’…
…and I finished watched the last eight episodes of season 1
of ‘The Good Place’ a weird series, on the surface it’s a quite gentle comedy, someone who gets into Heaven by mistake and, so they can stay in Heaven,
learns to be a better person and has some mishaps on the way. But, just scratch the surface and it’s a lot darker,
can we change, is being an obnoxious person enough of a reason not to get into
heaven, are other people really torture, is doing good for selfish reasons
still good, etc.
The writing, casting, acting, sets, design, etc. all come
together and make the characters, the situation and the growth of the characters
believable and relatable. None of the four human main characters are exactly
nice people, some are downright terrible, but the by the end of the season (if
not sooner) you care for all of them. This all combines to make something
special and then there’s that twist towards the end, which just comes out of
nowhere, but is so obvious and completely changes scenes when you re-watch
them. Just a perfect show. 10/10.
