18 March 2023 – Saturday Musings

I’m just checking in quickly while I’m waiting for my dinner to cook. Tonight, it’s butter chicken and pilau rice, and I’m looking forward to it because I’m starving. I will post this after I finish eating.

Yes, I know I missed yesterday – sorry Changsun (Tan) that I didn’t wish you Happy Birthday, but I was busy playing Hogwarts Legacy. Belated warm birthday wishes to him, and the same to Shin (Ghost9), whose birthday is today.

Chansung and Shin - HBD, guys! 🎉🎁🎂

I wasn’t originally going to mention this, as I already previously said if I didn’t blog it would be because of that infernal game, but as I'm treating this place like a diary, I really ought to record this.

So, what happened was that on Thursday evening I finished the C-drama Warm on a Cold Night and didn’t feel in the mood for starting anything new, and most of the stuff I’m behind on has several episodes so I didn’t feel like diving into them either. With a day off to look forward to (I just fancied a day off as it has been a long and stressful week at work), I intended to sleep in anyway, so decided to pop into Hogwarts Legacy for a bit.

And that’s where it all went wrong 😂.

I joined the game just before midnight on Thursday and proceeded to get so involved with the task I was doing that when I next looked at the time it was almost 5 am. As I wasn’t feeling tired, I decided to complete the task and then go to bed. However, by 7 am I was still going and still wide awake, so instead, I made a cup of tea and a bacon sandwich and continued playing. 

All day I played, stopping for more tea and loo breaks, plus a break to make some lunch. I still didn’t feel tired; amazingly, I didn’t have eye strain either, so I decided to continue 🙈. I had also reached that inquisitive stage – you know, like the one I had with the fairy lights – when I began to wonder just how long I could play for, so I continued into the evening and past my chicken salad dinner. 

I finally stopped just before 1 am this morning (24 hours and 45 mins after I started playing to be precise - 39 hours and 21 minutes of being awake), not because I was tired particularly, but because I remembered that I had a BtoB fan meeting to attend this morning. Having paid to see it, I didn’t want to end up missing it because I slept right through it, or was too tired to enjoy it properly.

I needn’t have worried, though, because as soon as BtoB began to sing all my energy came flooding back. They were absolutely brilliant – every bit as charming, hilarious and chaotic as they have been for the last 11 years. They were so good that I decided to buy a ticket for the show tomorrow too. So, while I may be popping into Hogwarts Legacy later, I won’t be staying too long, as I need to get up early again.

Right, I’m off to eat my dinner and watch the first 2 episodes of D.O.’s (EXO) new variety show No Math School Trip.

See you tomorrow.

Better Late Than Never?

Well, to be honest, I’m not sure about that. But as I spent the whole of January and part of February getting my end-of-year music lists sor...
