Don't make me think outside the box. I can barely think inside the box.
- We had all day training today, but we spent the last two hours doing team building. Instead of doing something boring in the office, my manager arranged to do escape rooms with the group. I had never done an escape room so it sounded kind of fun. Yeah, reading about an escape room and actually doing one are two very different things. Out of the three groups, only one managed to escape. My team and another just gave up even after we were given extra time. You really need to be a lateral thinker to make your way through these things but even with hints, there were things I never would have thought of. Plus we were constantly unlocking pad locks, which got so repetitive. With that said, I think I would like to do another escape room, but maybe something a little easier to ease me in. I'm good with trivia, but I don't have the patience for puzzles. I usually turn to Google when I have to do one in any of the Assassin's Creed games.
- A new Doctor Who season ten trailer dropped today and there was one thing I noticed:
At one point, Bill says "It speaks a emoji" when she and the Doctor are looking at the emoji robot. The fact that she knows what an emoji is means she's contemporary and not from the past. Dang it, I was really hoping they had switched it up with the Companion this time. Her outfits were super misleading. Damn the latest fashion trends for recycling fads from 30 years ago.
Also, emoji robots? Was this done to frustrate Peter Capaldi? I remember reading an interview with Jenna Coleman and she mentioned that Peter Capaldi didn't understand emojis. Or is this a blatant attempt to engage the young people? "Look at our show! We have robots that speak only in emojis! The young people love emojis!" I can already picture Twelve grumbling that it's not a proper language. Or maybe he speaks emoji.
Just a month to go now!
- The musical crossover with The Flash and Supergirl is next week! I re-watched "Worlds Finest" the other day and I can only hope that this crossover just builds from that. Kara and Barry are just so cute together. I know Grant Gustin and Melissa Benoist sung a lot on Glee, but I never watched Glee, so I Googled some videos of them and wow, they're really good. At least, they sound good to me; I'm not exactly a great judge. The producers even commissioned some original songs, so that should be fun. What I really want to see is Barry and Kara doing a duet in their superhero costumes, but going off the pictures that were released, I don't think we'll get that. Alas.
Well, as long as we get a .gif that tops Kara's ice cream moment from "Worlds Finest", I'll be happy.
(though nothing brings me more happiness than seeing Kara proclaim her love for stolen ice cream gifted to her by her new speedster BFF)
