beccaelizabethToday was Birthday Party
because my brother is in this town on Sunday and it is closest to the usual routine.
We had cake! The nice one that is Free From everything and I ordered at Sainsburys :-)
... my brother finished his piece in seconds but was quite content with that portion, I was slooooow and was like wow that's a lot of cake, and mum had seconds, and liked it. Between us we ate nearly 2/3 of the cake. That is a lot of cake.
Then we watched Justice League. ... I kind of hate what they've done with Wonder Woman, and this version of the League is the one I care about the least, the wow we're all demigods but oh no we are not Superman how will we cope. Like the actual point of teamwork is (a) a bunch of nearly regular people can save the world if teamwork and (b) sometimes Superman is not the one who can get things done. Also, the lasso of truth is a joke now? And Wonder Woman's real power is that kaboom thing with her bracelets? And she needs a man to talk her into... anything. Aaaand we're back to I kind of hate what they've done with Wonder Woman. I also am deeply, forever, bored of heroes getting in hero vs hero fights. I mean, cut that shit out, be grown ups, get things done. But apparently no. I liked Barry babbling and being bad at people, that is Relatable, but I didn't get Feels about this movie in general. And keep getting stuck on how I would do the 'verse different.
See this is why I watch the MCU much more easily, I don't compare it to decades of older comics in my head or how things were when I was a teenager.
But! It was a pleasant afternoon's viewing, more or less. And I like Aquaman because having seen Momoa in Atlantis he feels like he's one of us, or ours? And now he's all up there doing great? And I like the way the casting works with Aquaman as a story, ethnicity matters the good way, that bit is great.
... I guess I like the characters without liking the movie they were in? That's... that's now what they were aiming for. Oh well.
We also watched some vids because my TV YouTube shows good stuff now, except I'd been watching a lot of Rogues vids from the Flash TV show and they don't watch the TV shows so I had to go find things we'd all understand. So I watched Dream https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oJlPnPYlg8A and Starships https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bTGdGKEEiYE and The Greatest https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yIHZd0-sj_Q and also one of the We Will Rock You MCU vids https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PA4x8woMFSs .
My TV doesn't know many vids that are multifandom yet, it's pretty stuck on MCU and The Flash with a bit of Legends of Tomorrow, which is cool but I need to learn how to teach it stuff.
... I might have to get a YouTube account to teach it stuff.
There's a button in the settings so I can tell my computer about my TV, so then I could link a lot more stuff a lot more easily.
I don't know though, I kind of hate how YouTube knows all about us, you know?
But it helps it make cool suggestions?
So.
Anyway, then we had done the usual Sunday visit ritual and it was time to go home, so I'm on the internet telling y'all about it.
Mum did bring presents too, I have a bag with a unicorn on, I must find a purpose for it and use it sometimes. There are unicorn socks too. I don't know why mum thinks we are unicorns now but it's cool. A bit pink, but cool.
So that was pretty good birthday party.
