Invisibilia

Last night I was watching an episode of Stranger Things. 

It was a pretty long day at work. I listened to Invisibilia which was discussing the concept of "fake it till you make it", how if you pretend to be something (say confident or whatever) you can sometimes become that, Answer Me This, Ron's Amazing Stories presenting a story about an astronaut stuck on Pluto for years who starts hallucinating due to loneliness, and Mystery Theater about a woman who wants to stop doctors performing a life-saving operation on her evil son-in-law.

On my way home I stopped off for groceries for the coming week. I also got a copy of Empire magazine, the main feature was about Suicide Squad, the story behind the movie Aliens and a list of the Best Movie Villains.

Work and Podcasts

Last night I watched another episode of Game of Thrones on Blu-ray. 

It was another busy day at work, but it wasn't as bad as it was yesterday. Friday's tend to be a little more relaxed because everyone is looking forward to the weekend and most people leave early. Also it had been someone's birthday yesterday so there were a lot of cookies around. I listened to Answer Me This which is an often very funny podcast where the hosts answer often very bizarre questions from listeners, but it often has some interesting facts there as well. I also heard The Magnus Archives which is a horror series that purports to be recordings of people telling stories of supernatural experiences, and Drama of the Week which was a detective story set in Communist era Hungary. On my way home I was listening to The Empire Podcast which was doing a special episode to celebrate fifty years of Star Trek.

On my way home I stopped off and got my groceries for next week.
