To those who celebrate it, I hope you had a great Halloween! I spent my evening re-watching Over The Garden Wall, even if I almost fell asleep more than once because I'm still feeling cranky from daylight savings time ending last sunday. It's only one hour, but it messes up my body's circadian rhythm like there's no tomorrow. It usually takes me one week to go back to normal.

During the weekend I watched Black Mirror on Netflix, because everyone on twitter was talking about it. Netflix messed up the order of the episodes, and I only noticed at the end, so I watched the third season first, then the christmas special, second season, and the first one at the end. It's an anthology, so it didn't affect anything, but I was wondering why the budget seemed to decrease in time. :D Anyway, I thought it was brilliant! It reminds me a lot of Philip K Dick, so if that's your kind of sci-fi, you'll love it. The acting is always great, and I loved how they didn't demonize modern technology: each episode is a study on humanity, and the technological aspect serves only to enable certain human behaviours. Fascinating. My favourite episode is San Junipero, because I'm predictable like that. ;)

I've also started watching Yuri on Ice, this new adorable anime about figure skating. The characters are lovely, the animation is great, and the figure skating part is done by people who know what they're talking about. It's awesome!

About real life, nothing much is happening: my aunt is spending the week in Sicily with her mom, so I miss her a lot. This evening my uncle is taking us to the cinema to watch Jason Bourne - I wouldn't normally watch it, as I find the Bourne movies super boring, but I love the idea of going to the cinema with my family, so I don't even care about the movie. It's also the week with no immunotherapy, so yay for no trips to the hospital or needles in my arms! \o/

Noi eravamo in ostello e ci siamo messe a guardare episodi di X-Files su un minitablet :P Io avevo il tablet Windows più grande ma mi serviva per lavorarci...:/

Dovrò assolutamente dare un'occhiata a Black Mirror, ormai sono stra-indietro con tutto...

Dai retta a me, guardati il quarto episodio della terza serie, San Junipero, per primo. Non ti dico nulla, tu guardalo, mi ringrazierai. ;)

Devo proprio recuparare Black Mirror! Un sacco di amiche ne stanno parlando bene, e di solito mi fido dei loro gusti, quindi mi sa che gli datò una chance.

Un abbraccione per questa settimana di 'adattamento' dopo il cambio dell'ora: anch'io non mi sono ancora ripresa.

La prima stagione è un bel cazzotto nello stomaco, quindi se vuoi un ingresso più dolce in questo universo puoi fare come me e partire dalla terza. Sempre cupa, ma meno cruda. Ho ancora incubi sul primo episodio della prima stagione, per dire. Bellissima serie, ma ci vuole cioccolata durante la visione.
