The Advance #vampress 26

For a moment, she considered an outsider who could provide an honest opinion with the willingness to get the job done to earn some cash. She’d later betray them by taking them into the fold to avoid paying, but she’d have to make sure that others would not come looking. People who had visited before would surely note that the topography had changed, but inviting new people from further afield would also attract attention. Perhaps someone young who would be keen to move to make a good impression and create a reputation? Perfect. She would send her subordinates to the cities to see what they could find. She couldn’t demean herself to a lower life form, but she would have to bestow intelligence upon someone, and provide him with some protection as well. Perhaps there was a way of transporting herself further inland by slowly integrating her minions into another community.

GDK

It’s as if McDonald’s started to do kebabs. I opt to download the app where I can get my food made before I arrive and I’m instantly treated to a discount kebab but I can’t get my voucher to work. It’s not entirely clear if you’ve selected any options via a dial at the bottom. The fries look interesting so I go large so as not to miss out on anything, but the drink option is a bit basic. It’s just a can of pop. And despite using an Apple device to create an account, I can’t see a way to pay with Apple Pay. I’ve been given an estimate collection time but no instructions on what to do when I get there. I can see a kitchen with a bag on the counter with my name on it. Do I just grab it and go or do I need to check in with someone? Two days later and I’ve still got the taste of onions in my mouth.

Got Your Nose

Something’s going for her nose. It could be a new feature installed in the armrest so that you don’t have to handle dirty tissues. Or she could be trying to bat a spear away from her as it passes too close for comfort. She might even be attempting a military salute. Or she could be attempting to hide her face from the camera. She doesn’t look like she wants to be involved. There’s also something creeping around the back of her neck. This will slowly drape onto her shoulders until she realises that something’s there, and when she turn around to investigate it’ll tighten around her neck. She’s dropped the flyer that she’s been reading as her survival instincts kick in as she needs to start thinking about defending herself. Perhaps the patch of light next to her is about to head towards her face. Look carefully, and you’ll see a claw or a jaw reaching over her leg. 

Yak Yak

This could be a long one. I hope they’re still going, and I’m expecting to have a list of games that are good with words. I’ve no idea what any of them are. I doubt that I’ll be chased by yaks, though that’ll be interesting if that does happen. I like the concept of saying it to play it, though it should have recognised that I haven’t played before. I’m presented with a list of jazzy theme tunes including celebrities or Deal or no Deal. I thought that it was Voice of the Dead but it turns out that it was of the day. I recognised the voice and got it right on the first go. I now rank about 1 in 189,000-something, and I can come back tomorrow to improve my leaderboard. Until then, I’ve got another game to choose. I’ve actually played the others that it’s suggested before. The next batch of games involves a subscription which I deny, before heading onto a quiz.

The Amazing Spiderman 2

This film had a bit more umph than its predecessor, though introducing Harry as a supervillain took a bit of time and didn’t give the Goblin enough screen time. I also thought that Gwen’s graduation speech was a bit morbid. I like how he tries to be friends with the bad guys first. But you’d think that Richard Parker would want to destroy his work rather than hide it away. It’s also strange how all of this science is conveniently locked up in a skyscraper in the middle of a populous city. The grand reveal of Spiderman’s identity to Harry is a little underwhelming, and there’s little evidence available to see how he reaches this conclusion. I was also hoping that Aunt May would discover the secret. It’s also strange how everyone is connected to one company, though it does explain how Peter can be friends with Harry. But at least the legacy is protected which confines Peter to the city.

Erasure

Something is trying to change. It’s stopped the world around it to make it happen. Is it going to change the outcome of the game that we’ve just played? Will there be draughts on the table in place of chess pieces and a different boxed game on the sofa? The colours in the room could change as a result of different people not being around to make the decisions. Some of the colours on the mantelpiece have already begun to change. Or she could be frozen in time while everything around her ages. The pictures will stay the same, though they might attract dust, and time will tell if the plant in the corner is real or not. Much of the furniture will stay the same, though the colour of the ceiling might be a little greyer. Maybe the view through the mirror will give us a glimpse of the future.

Police bodycam footage shows Tiger Woods' arrest

Oh, how the mighty have fallen. They think they get away with it and state that they need time to recover, but they still have to face the consequences of the law. And now you can watch the moment of the arrest and judge for yourself if you really want to. Of course they’re not going to confess in the mainstream media. They don’t want to upset any current financial endorsements that they have already. At first glance, he looks defiant and that he’s taking the pose of a survivor and that he’s not scared. It’s hard to tell with sunglasses masking his eyes. He might even be taking the knee. It’s nothing extraordinary compared to other videos. Perhaps it’s to reassure people that he will be treated well. But it’s going to be hard to him to work his way back to the top and he has to hope that some people still believe in him.
