BLOG -- Recap of October

Now that I've recovered from COVID, and with the weather still strangely warm at times, I went outside more often than usual.


Outings / Events in October:
- Had a voice chat with my sister and our LINE friends. It was a fun time.

- Had a hang out with my sister, her husband, my boyfriend, and a friend to play board games. It was a great time.

- Dined at Shinta (Japanese BBQ buffet) with some old friends. I hadn't seen them in almost a year.

- Had another hang out with my sister and a friend. It was a good time.


Exposures:
- Nothing this month.


Finished...
Watching:
- (Movie): Suspiria (1977) -- There were some amusing moments, but I think I prefer the 2018 version a bit more.

- (Movie): Chloe -- I had no idea what this movie was about. It was okay.

- (Movie): The Circle -- It was just okay.

- (Movie): The Platform -- I enjoyed this.

- (Movie): The Platform 2 -- I didn't enjoy this as much.

- (Movie): A Perfect Murder -- It was okay.

- (Movie): Climax -- This was an experience. The dance scenes were great.

- (Movie): The Hateful Eight -- A very long, long movie, but pretty decent and great acting.

- (Movie): A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood -- This was great. Highly recommended.

- (Movie): Tucker and Dale vs. Evil -- Quite hilarious.

Playing:
- (PC): Stardew Valley -- My boyfriend and I spent over 100 hours on this game. We were more or less done once we achieved "perfection".

Reading:
- (Novel): Anansi Boys by Neil Gaiman -- There were some good moments but for the most part, I thought it was just okay.

That's it for October. Here are some pics and a screenshot I took this month plus a YouTube video.

Some of what we ate at Shinta. We were all very full afterwards.

I never get tired of eating this dish. *drools*

One of the board games we played (5-Minute Dungeon).

This was displayed at an Ikea. It was a couch covered in owl plushies. I wonder how many owl plushies it took to make it.

I logged onto FFBE briefly since I heard that Global was reaching End of Service. 
I'll likely blog about this at some point.

I like what this video is saying. XD
