the State of the Mez
Jun. 29th, 2020 01:53 pmHaven't got anything major to post, but I thought I'd give a general update on my life...
Pandemicville
The kidlets are back at school/kinder. Otherwise everything is still cancelled. Most of that's fine, but I am desperately missing:
1) church
2) my roleplaying group
Musical Aspirations
After a lot of consideration, I have taken the plunge and bought a button accordion. When it arrives I will (briefly) be the proud owner of THREE accordions - before selling my second piano accordion. Then I just need to figure out how on earth one plays a button accordion...
Cinema and so forth
I have been watching The Good Place, and enjoying it much more than I thought I would. (Only bought the first season because I saw a five-second clip of Ted Danson smiling evilly, which greatly impressed me.)
Also, SBS has been rebroadcasting Stargate, so I'm watching that on a weekly basis as new episodes become available. I'm currently being weirded out by the early-episode differences (no ray guns, no spaceships, no Thor, no crystals), and also very annoyed by it (there is a reason my LJ has a Stargate is Annoying Me tag).
Meanwhile, my friends gifted me a Disney+ subscription. So while I am waiting for Hamilton, I'm watching all the MCU movies that I never got around to seeing. They're quite fun, for the most part.
The Kidlets
Both are lovely, charming, and delightful individuals. Both are also currently banished outside on serious time out because they are ANNOYING. School holidays have only just started, and I expect to be utterly crazy by the end of them.
