Good morning, it's Saturday, it's a new week!
Today I'm going into London and I'm gonna do an escape room with a couple of friends
And hang out for a birthday trip, so it should be a good day.
My weekend was fun! Went to the escape room, escaped which was good. It was a good weekend.
Today started well. It's Monday and I had a Twitch stream
And we started playing Sims 4, really fun to be playing again, I had a little break from it.
And now for the rest of today, I'm not making a video,
I am working on Photoshop, I'm doing some more of my Goth Jester cosplay photos.
Hi, I'm going to town today, need to do some shopping, run some errands.
That sort of thing, so let's go!
It's Saturday, it's bright and early, because it's MCM Comic Con this weekend!
I'm on my way, I'm not in cosplay. This is my first time at MCM without being in cosplay
And I'm looking forward to it, it might be the only time ever that I have this experience.
I'm going to do some filming of my weekend and we're gonna have a lovely time!
It's now Monday, I am back and recovered from MCM at the weekend.
It was a really good convention. My experience was different to usual because I wasn't in cosplay
And I think if I do go to MCM in future, which is quite likely
Then I'll probably go in cosplay again.
I'm going to do a little bit of a haul and show you some of the things that I got.
I'm very happy overall. I got three separate lucky bags.
I'm not generally a lucky bag person but I was in the mood for lucky bags this weekend.
So the first one I got was... I can't even fit it in frame...
A BT21 one. BT21 being BTS's brand.
I knew I wanted to get something BTS / BT21 related at the convention.
Since it was my first time there since knowing who BTS are and liking BTS.
For a start, I really love the bag. I feel like just the bag was worth it.
This is unfortunately probably also the bag with the least amount of things that I am going to use.
There are a few posters, and a couple of different badges which are cool.
And my favourite thing is a little lanyard.
I also got this lucky bag for £5.
This is probably my favourite one. This had the general theme of kawaii.
And it's just sort of cute Japanese items.
There's a unicorn. There's... I think this is a ram.
There's a little unicorn keyring which I like.
Very much becoming a unicorn themed bag.
There's this, which is good, it's a very, very thin mirror.
And then also a small little notebook.
This is a pen, and it expands.... like... that. Isn't that cool?
And then my final lucky bag was the one that I get every year at MCM.
Usually it's the only thing I buy at MCM so I wasn't going to not buy it this year.
But it's the Japanese candy bag.
This year was interesting because I got a few duplicates
But I also got duplicates of things that I know that I really like so...
Basically I got some Pocky and some Hello Panda,
And some of the Strawberry Collon.
These little boxes of different things which I really like because it means you get to try more stuff.
And some different flavours of Puccho which are little chewy sweets and I really love them.
And some sour candy and this strawberry cone thing which is the main thing here that I've never tried before.
But yeah, I was really happy with my lucky bags generally, they were definitely really good value this year.
I feel like 85% of the things I got across the three lucky bags
Are things that I'm definitely going to use.
I also got these three packets of mochi which were three for £5.
I got one strawberry and two mango, because mango's my favourite.
I love mochi but I'm a bit hit-and-miss sometimes, I don't like particular brands.
But I know I like this one because this is the first mochi I ever had and it's the one that introduced me to mochi
So I'm 100%certain I'm gonna like these ones because it's their fault!
What else did I get? I got some art.
I don't know if you'll remember but at Nine Worlds convention I got a Grog Mouse piece of art
By an artist called Eleanor Hollindrake, and they were at MCM
So I was able to find them and buy something else.
So I got this little postcard and I'm really happy with it.
And I might put it on a door somewhere because it says 'Welcome."
And also this is the first thing I got at the convention,
I got a set of eight Critical Role art cards, you may have seen these in my Favourites video
But they're for the eight main characters from Critical Role campaign 2.
They're by an artist called Anastasia Catris and I can't wait to put them on my wall.
And then the final thing that I got I also showed in my Favourites video for this month
So sorry for the repetition. I got this goodie bag of Japanese candy.
More Japanese candy, but you know, it lasts ages.
I'm pretty sure that all of the Japanese candy I have bought over the last few days
Will tide me over for the next year.
But it was from Tokyo Toys who sells manga
And they had a competition to win a Nintendo 2DS and I got the golden ticket!
I'm so happy, I was amazed, I was a bit shocked. So that was a good end to my MCM experience,
A very unexpected and good end.
I did go slightly over the top with the amount of things I bought at MCM
But I'm pretty sure that that was my only opportunity to do that
And be able to spend that time and a little bit of money at MCM Comic Con
So I tried to make the most of it and I think I succeeded.
That was my MCM haul, that was all the stuff I got at MCM.
I hope that was interesting and not too long!
I'm now going to edit my Favourites video for this month and do some work!
It's Halloween, I'm wearing an appropriate jumper. I have been working today.
Also I got a new phone the other week and this is the first thing I've vlogged on it,
I'm just testing it out. I normally use my camera, but I wanted to see what it's like.
Hello, it's Friday, back to the camera today!
It's the 1st of November so white rabbits, it's a new month!
I hope you've had a really great week, I've had a good week.
Any week with MCM in it is a good week.
I'm looking forward to next week because it's my birthday week.
I'm going out tomorrow and it's gonna be fun.
I've also been working on my Christmas crafts video for this year
Which is probably the most ambitious one that I have worked on.
And it also involves it needing to be complete far earlier than it normally would have to
So at the moment I'm thinking I'm gonna try and get it done in the next two weeks.
I'm excited to work on that, I can't wait to show it to you, I hope it's as good as it is in my head.
That's the main thing that's happening here on YouTube in the next little while.
I have my next Discworld Discourses on Tuesday which is of Hogfather.
I've been looking forward to reading and reviewing Hogfather
And I want to do some more reviews as well of things that aren't Discworld
Because it's been a while since I've had a Mouse Reviews.
I'm hoping to do one of The Witcher the new Netflix series
So whether that is the next Mouse Review or not, we shall see.
But either way, I'm hoping there'll be some fun YouTube videos on my channel for the rest of the year.
That reminds me actually, my next YouTube livestream is gonna be next week as well!
It's gonna be a fun week next week!
My next YouTube livestream is going to be on Monday the 4th November at 7pm GMT.
The clocks went back here last weekend so if the clocks didn't also change for you
Then bear in mind that the livestream might be an hour different to its previous time.
So yes, three videos hopefully on YouTube next week,
My livestream, my Discworld Discourses, and hopefully a Mouse Moments too.
Anyway I'm gonna go and start editing this video.
If you're wondering why I'm suddenly talking quickly it's because the camera battery flashing light's just gone on.
I hope you have a wonderful weekend, whatever you are up to,
Hopefully see you on Monday for the live stream if you are around,
And take care and see you soon!
