Bathtime at Sourcebook Central 2.0

Yuki climbs on dodgyhoodoo's desk. She knocks things over and steals Cthulu's sacrificial jelly beans. This cannot be permitted.

Therefore, next time she does it, I am dumping her into dodgyhoodoo's bath.

Yes, while dodgyhoodoo is still in it.

Heard from the bathroom (in which I have shut Yuki so that she does not wreak havoc on Cthulu's sacrificial jelly beans): Agh! No! Watch the teeth! You've locked her in here and she's turned carnivorous! She's touched by the Wendigo!

He's been reading Pet Sematary.

Our house is insane. Fun, but insane.

Outing

Big day out!

So far, the list of things to do goes as follows:

1) Bus to Tottenham Court Road.
2) Late lunch at Tokyo Diner.
3) Hike out to Forbidden Planet, check for Battle Royale 14.
4) Over to Apple Store -- I want to get an iTunes prepay card and dodgyhoodoo I think wants to replace his mouse, but I'm not to let him spend too much money in there...
5) Japan Centre for Pocky.
6) Down to Whittards for coffee and chocolate covered espresso beans.
7) A couple of games of pool at Trocadero sports bar thing.
8) Dinner at Ikkyusan
9) Possibly Land of the Dead. This is apparently awkward, depending on where I want to go. (NOT WEST END.)

Still, should be much fun. I'm feeling a bit better and dodgyhoodoo is well-slept for a change and in a good mood. Trying to do head-map but I'll work it out when I'm on my way. Which means I should probably finish my coffee and get a move on. However, I would much like the coffee to kick in and wake me up a little more. So far all it's doing is exacerbating the remnants of queasy in my stomach ... or maybe that's the fact that I ate last night's leftover potatoes and squash for breakfast.

Stop looking at me like that. It's no weirder than cold pizza.

A nice day

Well, we didn't get half the stuff done that was previously advertised. This is my fault, as I am obviously not completely recovered from the lurgy and had an attack of "OMGImgonnadie" in the Apple store. Also, I wore the DoomBoots and I haven't worn them in ages so they did my feet in. We didn't go to the Tokyo Diner either, having been lured away from fine Japanese food by a place called Ultimate Burger (which was actually rather good, though so much sauce in the burgers that eating them was messy). Still, there are the following tidbits:

1) iTunes is sort of my friend. Bizarre how they have three Voodoo Glow Skulls albums but only the most recent Garbage album. And no Radiohead bar what can be found on the Help! charity album thing and the Six Feet Under soundtrack. Still, Katatonia (not Catatonia; no Mulder and Scully track monstrosity here) album, four old Static-X tracks, a VGS track (I had to own a track called "Band Geek Mafia"), the original Pardon Me by Incubus (I have the acoustic version and while it's good...) and an old Shed 7 track I always liked. Must get another one of those cards and get a list of what I want together before I use it.

2) We have coffee, chocolate covered espresso beans in several varieties and requisite huge bag of sweeties.

3) There's a stonking 4 for £20 sale on DVDs at Virgin at the moment. We were tempted by Resevoir Dogs, further tempted by the American version of The Grudge, but when I pointed out to dodgyhoodoo that they had The Wicker Man in the sale and he saw that it was the special edition containing both the original and the director's cut, he completely caved. So we have those three, The Princess Bride (also in the sale) and a copy of Pulp Fiction that I found for £6. It was a good day for entertainment.

4) Little purple stars! (See dodgyhoodoo's journal for details when he updates.)

So now we're waiting for Chinese takeaway to arrive. It's been a pretty good day.
