☆ Hello all! I had a nice long weekend off work this week. :) Got to hit up Bath and Body Works for their semi-annual sale, and despite complaining that their SAS deals and overall prices have gotten way worse in the past few years I still bought some stuff lmao. Just enough to use the $10 off $40 coupon though, they barely had any stuff 75% off and my store had zero 75% off soaps. What's the point if there aren't cheap soaps tbh!! I did get suckered by the ice cream line they released with the Cotton Candy Clouds and the Fruity Sherbet Scoop because I can't resist an overly sweet candy scent lmao. Other than some shopping, there was also a picnic at my coworker's house which was nice. It rained pretty much the entire time but thankfully the porch was covered so it wasn't bad, just cold.
☆ I also got to see Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse!! The theater was full of children lmao I truly don't mind kids at the theater but I wish parents were like...smarter about it. There were these like four-ish year-olds behind us that were being annoying because they were clearly restless, and it's like why are you bringing a four year-old to a 2+ hour movie where they're only going to be interested in the action sequences!
That aside, the movie was SO good. I loved the first movie so I had high hopes for this one and they thankfully delivered. The animation and action was even better than the first, the art styles and color palettes and all that were amazing, everything was so creatively done--Gwen's universe being colored in the watercolor-y style of her comics, the different Spider-people and how they were designed and animated, the fight scenes all being super cool and stylish. It's definitely worth seeing in a theater if possible, though it's VERY bright and flashy so not good for anyone who has problems with flashing lights.
Very sad we gotta wait until next year for part two. :( But I can't wait to watch it again once it's available at home so I can pause on all the text boxes and stuff that are only on screen for a few moments lmao.
☆ Excellent news on the Persona 5 Royal front, I made it past the part where I rage quit in the original game! I'm now in uncharted territory, I've added Futaba to my team and have gotten to the next palace/acquired Haru. I love both of them a lot already, I never really knew much about them since I didn't get far enough in the og game but they're so cute, Haru especially. Royal's been really fun, they added a whole lot more from the original game that actually made it worth it imo. Can't wait to get farther and finally see how this dumb game ends after like what, 5 years?
☆ Finished up a Good Omens re-watch with a couple friends as well in preparation for the new season coming out soon. The book is one of my top favorite books, I originally read it ages ago in high school and it's what got me into Terry Pratchett's books (I'm a huge Discworld fan) so I'm curious to see what they do with this second season. Nothing will be quite as good as the original book and I'm sort of hesitant about any new storyline made without Terry's input :( Even if supposedly Gaiman is using ideas from the potential sequel he and Pratchett workshopped I think. But hopefully it'll still be fun, I think Tennant and Sheen were super entertaining casting for Crowley and Aziraphale so I guess even if the season sucks they'll still be fun haha.
