I should probably work on my title game huh?

Okay so tomorrow the Euros 2021 starts (well it would have been last year but we all know how that global disease ruins everything for everyone so it was pushed to this year) and it's something about the competition to the backdrop of summer that just makes me feel giddy as hell! It's so much fun that's what I love about it. This year I'm also betting, that's fun, not like seriously because don't play with money kids that's bad. Just with some friends for fun by using an excel sheet and including some impossible questions like how many goals will be scored in the whole tournament etc. It's going to be so fun, well probably. I do look forward to that a lot and there's nothing brining together a country quite like football. 

Some Loki thoughts

So I saw the first episode yesterday and I must say I looooveee this. I read some spoilerfree reviews that said that the first episode was dragging a little bit and mostly focused on worldbuilding and maybe they have a point in saying that but I must say just being able to inhabit this world with Loki as the driving narrative force was amazing and made up for all it was lacking. It might have been a little bit clunky, the humour not always working 100%, but Loki uses humour as a deflecting tactic to avoid conversations and having to deal with what's simmering underneath so I don't mind it as much. Hiddles is on form as Loki and his scenes with Owen Wilson are a joy to watch. That relationship is interesting, a little bit of a push and pull going on there and not knowing which one of them to trust. That's a great way to introduce their relationship and how it might or might now grow as the season progresses. 

Though the pain in this first episode I really wasn't expecting, damnit. It hurt me! A lot! I loved it, because I love angst eheh, angst leads to growth. I feel these smaller shows for Disney have really tapped into that which was kind of missing from the big films, trauma, pain, tears and growth. All the good stuff. There really isn't anyone quite like Loki in the mcu, and I'm so happy he's gotten his own show to lead and I have no clue where this is going but I feel it's just going to be absolutely great. Especially if they actually include Loki's canonically queerness into the show, that would be absolutely incredible! 

I've seen the first episode of Feel Good too and I haven't really had the time to binge it but the first episode was really solid. Mae Martin is just so good and I love the mixture of humour that's awkward as hell at times but also how it talks about some really serious issues too and how trauma and healing isn't linear and not having your shit together at 30 man, relatable, that's probably going to be me at that age...

I'm excited for Friday, Love Victor! I also just found out that Duncan Lawrence has written a song for it! Ah that's super exciting.

OH, also Shadow and Bone has gotten reviewed for a season 2!!!!!!! More crows in my life, YES!

Let's do some updates shall we on what's been going on in my incredibly boring life.

Reading:

Pretty well to be honest. I am now on the last book of the Shadow and Bone trilogy and shall soon be moving onto the duology, should all be doable before April 19 to be honest so yay me. I will have read 9 books by then or something which is very solid for it just to be April. After this reading venture I am craving a lot of fantasy so The Priory of the Orange Tree is definitely next up on my expanding reading list.

Health:

I am only including this on my list as I am at the moment ill with corona. Yep, I got the hell disease almost a year after the breakout. It's definitely almost depressing that I made it so far and didn't get ill once and then suddenly by pure dumb luck it managed to get me... well it's been mild, it could be worse for sure. I've lost my sense of smell and taste and that is by far the worst thing to have happened. I can't even begin to describe the feeling of chewing and having no clue whether it is good or bad... ugh. I miss coffee. 

Mental Health:

It is better, some days it is worse and some days it is better, but I guess it's just consistently better than worse these days. I am so much a mood person I am learning. Winter or autumn I want to lie in bed and never leave, spring comes along with the sun and I'm super inspired. Well not always, and sometimes I do get so annoyed at the sun's insistence of shining in through my window and ruining my gloomy mood of wanting rain and candles to be lit all around me. But I'm having a better period than I am having a worse one so yay.

TV shows:

Yeah, I'm bad at this too. Maybe not as bad as I am at movies at the moment but I am not great either. I do comedies, those are my jams, and what my attention span can manage at the moment. I am watching Superstore at the moment and after that I might go back to Community or The Office so I can finally put those to rest and be like yes I finally watched them all. I'm also watching 3 episodes a week of Lost right now together with one friend who has never ever seen an episode and one who has been raving on about it for as long as I can remember knowing her. So yes, that's a thing I do now, I watch Lost. Apart from that I'm not watching many other things apart from Wandavision when that aired and now Falcon and the winter soldier. 

Life is odd. I don't think that is something we can even escape. I wish it would start to resemble normal soon, but it doesn't look like it will for a while...Well in the meantime I am quarantining for the foreseeable future, till this thing goes away, but goddamnit I miss chocolate and coffee. 

I'm not exactly overly busy so I don't have time to update my own blog, that's not what's happening here. I mean I do have a tendency to just disappear from this blog and not update for 6 months I know. But my bf is here and I haven't actually seen him since March when I fled England and came back to Sweden due to that worldwide pandemic we don't like talking about because it ruins lives. But I don't exactly have a lot of free time between it all so I guess I'm taking a bit of a break from here till he's gone back to Northern Ireland. 

I do have some planned posts for the future, because that's what I do, plan ahead and then don't stick to it. But I've been so good at updating this blog at least once a week for the last few weeks so I really just have to keep going now, can't be a quitter and a failure so early on. Okay I've run out of words for now, so this is good bye until I can get back into being more of a regularly scheduled human being.

So long!
