GREETINGS FROM AIRSHIP GLITZVILLE!
The splendiferous exciting adventures and inane ramblings of KT Glitz and his beautiful wife Toni Glitz. There will also be garbage talked about music, movies and Star Wars, a LOT of Star Wars!
If you can't be a good example, you'll just have to be a horrible warning!
Never forget your dreams, they are the hopes of the future!
It was backing day today. Not quite sure what happened with this batch but it did appear that the tops of a couple of them went floppy. Most peculiar.......
I did a check in on some WWE stuff before everyone got up taking in the WWE Superstar Spectacle event that they ran in India followed by NXT UK. Both were reasonably enjoyable so I might yet continue my subscription.
Toni and I then started watching Fate: The Winx Saga on Netflix.
A live-action adaptation of Nickelodeon's Winx Club (2004). It follows Bloom as she adjusts to life in the Otherworld, where she must learn to control her dangerous magical powers. It's not high brow that's for sure but it is an enjoyable yarn.
Dinner was a home made curry constructed with the base of a chicken soup and some pots of left over Indian take away from last night plus a load of cooked chicken that we already had. It was absolutely amazing. It was so tasty.
As Sam hadn't been watched Fate: The Winx Saga we watched the first episode of Disenchantment Part 3 with dinner. Just as funny as the previous parts.
We finished the night off with Season 2 of Bonding.
Really pleased that this is continuing and has maintained it's quirky sense of humour.
In stark contrast to yesterday I woke up early today and couldn't get back to sleep again. As Toni was happily snoozing still I got dressed and headed downstairs. I started catching up with NXT Takeover: Chicago 2018.
Although NXT has seen some its key stars move up to the WWE main rosters it still remains a strong brand and is still better viewing than RAW or Smackdown (I stopped watching RAW and Smackdown over a year ago but I continue to watch NXT every week.
First up we saw Danny Burch and Oney Lorcan take on Undisputed Era for the NXT Tag Team Championship. This was a good opener with plenty of near falls before Undisputed Era got the win and retained their belts.
Next up was Velveteen Dream taking on Ricochet. This was a fun match watching Dream do loads of Ricochet's move to try and psych him out. Needless to say this only lasted so long before Ricochet turned the tables. It was hard to call this one as both are good athletes who take risks. In the end Ricochet held out to win a fantastic match.
The Women's Title was on the line next as mad Scot Nikki Cross took on defending champion Shayna Baszler. This was a match I couldn't wait to see with Baszler's MMA style against Cross' off the wall madness. This was never going to be a match of wrestling prowess but it was certainly entertaining. Unsurprisingly Baszler won by being put to sleep but I suspect this feud is far from over!
Aleister Black defended his NXT Title against Lars Sullivan. This match was athleticism (Black) versus brawn (Sullivan). This was another great match. Sullivan is surprisingly versatile given his size and stature. There was some great close calls before Black finally retained after two Black Mass spinning heel kicks.
Last up was Johnny Gargano versus Tommaso Ciampa in a Chicago Street Fight. This feud has been going on for a LOOONG time and so for me it's lost a bit of sparkle and excitement especially as Ciampa has come out the victor in most of their meets. The match was good overall with the Street Fight element being played well with some brutal parts. Gargano flipping out was genius but it was so disappointing to have Ciampa walk away with the win once again. Who knows where the feud goes after this......
Once Toni was up we watched the first three episodes of Dietland which is a new series. The show explores the beauty industry and society's obsession with weight loss. Everybody should watch this show for the learning experience.
We then followed this up with Pose. Pose is set in the world of 1987 and "looks at the juxtaposition of several segments of life and society in New York: the rise of the luxury Trump-era universe, the downtown social and literary scene and the ball culture world." I think this one has some potential although Toni was less than impressed. I might watch a couple more episodes and see what happens.
Sam came back from a weekend in Southend to present me with this wonderful Father's Day gift:
Thankfully it doesn't have sound and do the whole, "NOOOOOOOO" thing!
We caught up with RuPaul's Drag Race and Battlebots while we ate dinner and then finished the day off back on the Suits trail.
We managed another sleep in today which was wonderful. The weather was nice so I got up, made coffee and headed into the garden.
It looks s lovely out there. I set about mowing the grass. It's amazing to think that I've mowed the lawn more here in the last five months than I did in five years at the last place LOL.
After I had taken these pictures Toni and I were talking about the work that we need to do in the garden. After we had finished our coffee we decided to throw caution to the wind and crack on. There was pruning, strimming and cutting. We managed to do about two thirds of the garden. We stopped when we realised the waste pile was getting a bit large.
We did a good job though and everything looked really good when we were done.
After our hard work it was time for brunch which consisted of gluten free fish finger sammiches. Food fit for kings and queens!
It's been a while since I've had a rasslin' fix so I caught up with last nights NXT TakeOver: Brooklyn III pay per view on the WWE Network. This wasn't a bad event and the results at least made me happy with Sanity defeating Authors Of Pain to win the NXT Tag Team Championship belts, Asuka retained her Women's Championship belt against Ember Moon and Drew McIntyre finally coming up trumps by defeating Bobby Roode win the NXT Championship. Think what you like, it's a guilty pleasure of mine :)
Our next step was six part documentary The Jinx. This was recommended to us by Jade and we were told not to Google it, just watch it. It turned out to be veryinteresting. I won't post much about it on here just in case you fancy the mystery of it all so here's a very brief synopsis. Filmmaker Andrew Jarecki examines the complicated life of reclusive real estate icon, Robert Durst, the key suspect in a series of unsolved crimes.
Dinner was provided tonight by the most excellent Ababil Tandoori of New Eltham. We hadn't tried them before so we were taking a chance but it the food was delicious. The offer much more choice than Rishta/Rannah and have a very clear guide on their menu as to which things have wheat in them so it's perfect for Toni.
As I had an early night last night I ended up waking up pretty refreshed today. It was a novelty to actually get up at a reasonable time and start doing stuff. Well there had been a plan but that kind of went by the wayside LOL.
I did manage to get a whole load of my eBay sales all packaged up and ready to send though. As a little treat we all had breakfast from Richard's today. Toni had been avoiding it of late but decided to indulge and thankfully had no adverse reactions.Toni had to pop out briefly to see to a poorly Jade to make sure that she was OK and when she returned we decided to suspend all plans in favour of chilling out.
We did a massive binge of Backstrom. The series got better and better and had a brilliant finale. We were gutted to find out that sadly it had been cancelled and so that single series is all there is. Such a shame that another series that we thought was great has being the victim of TV company executives.
We finished the night off watch NXT TakeOver: San Antonio. This was another excellent WWE show were the talent that aren't on the main roster showed that they are far more entertaining than those that sit at the top of the company. Contender match was the Fatal Four Way for the Women's Championship with Asuka seeing off Billie Kay, Peyton Royce and Nikki Cross. Asuka rightfully retained her title but it was a shame that there was more focus on the push that Billie Kay and Peyton Royce are getting as opposed to Nikki Cross who I think is the better wrestle of the three.
The real highlight though was Shinsuke Nakamura versus Bobby Roode for the NXT Championship. This was a real corker of a match with both guys pulling all the stops. I was gutted that Nakamura lost his title so soon after winning it back from Samoa Joe but I am sure we'll get to see a series between him and Roode and that he'll get it back again soon.
