A few weeks ago I was pretty happy with my productivity - naturally that ended soon and I'm currently at a point again where even preparing meals is such a chore. Which is also why I haven't posted.

That Fantastic Beasts review is still coming, I just need to find the time to transcribe my notes and elaborate on them. By now I've seen the movie. That was helpful, because I find the script form with its very short descriptions a bit confusing. Like, was that bit meant literally or figuratively? With a real book that would have been clear - most times (I remember that bit from HBP where it said that Snape flew - was that actually supposed to mean that he moved through the air? After all there was that previous bit of Snape resembling a bat and why not just use "flee"?)

Had a busy real-life week, went out on 3 days! On Tuesday I saw Fantastic Beasts with my mom, on Thursday we went to the somewhat nearby Pulsnitz (source of the bestest gingerbread there is) to stock up on gingerbread, yesterday we met up with some members of our extended family.

I'm still behind on all my shows! It's not that I lost interest in them - I just can't find the time. For Doctor Who, which is still my main fandom, I don't even want to make time, as there's no danger of spoilers. I think these long breaks between seasons have killed the fandom over here. So naturally the news that the next season would air in 2020 was pretty frustrating. Are they trying to kill the show?! About Supernatural I'm feeling a bit more excited than I usually do these days, because of the casting news I've been waiting for for years!

My Minecraft obsession has reached a new level since I got serious about building a faithful-to-the-books Hogwarts. I seriously need help, because I know that something that complex is pretty much unachievable, yet that hasn't discouraged me. TALK ME OUT OF IT! The hours I have wasted on designing Gryffindor (and Ravenclaw, because symmetry) tower! This is too serious business to me, I needed to give the dorms desks (because the common room would have to be too huge to be a living & homework room for 70 students) and adjacent bathrooms (because anything else would be child abuse), figure out a visually pleasing way to make a round common room and 2 round dorm towers (if you put girls and boys in the same tower on alternating floors, it would make the build too high, and if you use one tower with 2 dorms on the same floor, you either don't get the nice round room or you waste too much precious space by putting 2 round rooms into that round building). See, SRS BSNS!
