Yes, yesterday was another day without a post. And yes, it's because I was playing Hogwarts Legacy.
Actually, I didn't do anything apart from playing the game, so there wasn't much to post about, anyway. I did manage to finally get through Chapter One and we're now into Autumn - which means new quests that I can't do 😂 - but I'm sure another 24 hours of playing time will see me moving on to the next chapter (assuming I ever manage to get out of the predicament I'm currently in). I have talent points to spend but I'm not sure where - it seems a waste to put them into combat when I'm so terrible at it, but then maybe it would make me better?
Maybe I should just stick them all in the Dark Arts tree and learn the Unforgivable Curses as soon as possible. But I know Avada Kedavra doesn't open up until much later in the game so it's going to be a long time until I get to use it and it seems a waste of points. Then again, I'm aware that them sitting around not being used on anything is a waste too.
However, I wish I had remembered that I had a Key concert to watch this morning (G.O.A.T. in the Keyland in Japan) which was starting at 7 a.m. when I stayed up until gone 3 a.m. to try to get through the latest puzzle. I ended up doing the same as last week after his SHINee bandmate Onew's concert and went to bed for another few hours.
Anyway, the concert was brilliant and well worth seeing - it's being re-streamed on 9 April if you want to check it out on Beyond Live. I would have done, but it's the same day as the live streaming of EXO's 11th anniversary fan meeting (probably also on Beyond Live), and that obviously takes priority for me. I can't remember if I mentioned that the Onew concert is being re-streamed on 1 April. I will be watching that, and I will also be watching BtoB's fan meeting (it's also their 11th anniversary this year) next Sunday. I must remember to have an earlier night - although I think that starts a bit later.
Today I listened to a short audiobook, which was the pre-story of A Good Girl's Guide to Murder by Holly Jackson, that I listened to a few weeks ago, called Kill Joy, which was originally given away for World Book Day 2021. It was pretty good, except that I had forgotten that it was set before the first book, so couldn't understand why one of the characters was so blasé about mentioning the murder over and over again; that was a bit jarring. Also, the ending too, but I don't want to give away any spoilers.
This evening, I am dedicating myself to drama and giving my brain a chance to cool down after all that gameplay. The final episode of The Island (Part 2) dropped (on Amazon Prime) on Friday, so I'm bingeing it all. You may recall it's about demon hunters on Jeju Island and their battle to stop lust (and other) demons from breaking free from hell and taking over. I am still enjoying it, and we're just starting the end game, so hopefully the horror (and blood and gore) will ramp up for the last couple of episodes (it is an 18 after all).
Once I finish that I shall move on to Warm on a Cold Night as I need to catch up, and really need to clear some watching room for all the new stuff coming out (including, apparently, a new drama with Tao (ex-EXO), and then I think an earlyish night is in order, as tomorrow is a big day with EXO member Kai releasing his third solo album - he's live on Youtube at 8 a.m. for the countdown to release.
Before I go, as ever it's birthday time.
First up and celebrating his 21st birthday is the newest member of the wonderful Kingdom (who have a new album coming out on 23 March), Hwon. He is the King of Storms and was introduced in this secret video last year:
Another of my kids, who has just turned 18, is Yewang from Epex.
It is also the birthday of 2 fine Korean actors, Namgoong Min and Kim Min Kyu (who is the star of The Heavenly Idol drama that I'm currently enjoying watching).
