Something new this way comes

So... David Bowie and Alan Rickman died, Sam's birthday plans fell through, I finished my book and Ash Vs Evil, began to post some reviews and slowly attempted to take some control of my life; even if that did result in being dragged around the streets by a dog for forty five minutes in the freezing cold. It has been a peculiar few days.

As I sit here on the couch I can feel the pain rising as the evening closes in and I can think of a thousand things to write but no ideas how to transfer any from thought to word. My mind is hazy, the heat in the lounge comforting but part of the problem that is the temptation of an early night in a bed heated via electric blanket where I can read the second book on my challenge list. With that said the first book from the challenge I displayed in another post was Pet Sematary by Stephen King, a book published before I was born and sadly cannot say outdid the film that followed, possibly because I saw the film first. That said, the film did not stir the same fear that the book managed however I put that down to a weakness to reading matters of horror rather than seeing them. Perhaps I'll test the theory and get an audiobook to assess its threat to my calm. More on that later possibly.

The last in the Odd Thomas series by Dean Koontz is my book of choice for a book published this year but I am doing 2015 as 2016 has barely begun. After starting it I am already quarter of the way through so hopefully I will finish soon and be able to plough my way further through the challenge list. So far so good with it anyway, it seems a little better than others in the collection.

Although I will be posting a review of Ash Vs The Evil Dead on moviepilot.com/misslola soon I will say that if you are a fan of The Evil Dead, gore, Bruce Campbell or horror you should give this series a try. It has given me a sense of joy I suspect I used to feel before birthdays and Christmases. It is able to lift my foul moods with its dark comedy and distract me from whatever anxieties linger that day. I'm not saying it is a cure or that it will even do for you what it did for me but just give it a go, I dare ya!
(Yes, please read crazy excited tone in the last sentence.)



Because we have essentially been given around 2 months notice on our flat we have to move but in doing so, I will finally be able to get a cat to keep Winston company when we are out and cuddle me when I'm feeling too fragile for any other affection. Times like that are hard enough right now where every touch hurts rendering me unhuggable to my partner. And yes, the cat picture is in celebration of the cat to come and something for me to help focus my hopes and hide from the bad thoughts. I'm excited, could you guess?

In closing I shall leave another shameless plug of my reviews and lists regarding horror greats here:

I wish you all well in your endeavours and health in each day.

My boss kindly accepted my resignation.

Goodnight ✨✨✨
