Yay, Meatspace!

I had fun today. Met up with tithenai, Jess and Ollie and, after the disappointment of all the nifty old bookstores being shut on Sunday, showed them Neal's Yard and then we went to have lunch.

(*facepalm* number 1 = Orc's Nest! Should've taken them to Orc's Nest!)

Lunch was fun, discussing whether roadkill was acceptable for vegans to eat (on the grounds that it was not killed specifically for food, or on purpose at all), autocannibalism, unnecessary amputation and the difference between a bog-standard prostitute, a courtesan and a temple prostitute. Very. Very. Silly. However, still not the weirdest conversation I've ever had.

From there, we had a quick stop in Mysteries, so that tithenai and Jess could peruse tarot cards, and I bought a book on symbols and their meanings which I hope to make use of in RP (I play a damn Seer - Time/Entropy/Spirit mage; it should come in handy). Then we went to Forbidden Planet. Unfortunately, we didn't have a lot of time in there but it was enough for tithenai to pick up a few "Y - The Last Man" grapics and the most recent "Fables". After that, we were going to go to the new location of the Intrepid Fox, but oddly it was closed today for a Christian fellowship meeting. So we headed in a Soho-wards direction, where my radar picked up this rather nifty dive-bar sort of place whose name I can't remember down a little side street next to Foyle's. Two jugs of cocktails (first something with pineapple juice and brandy and things whose name I can't remember, then White Russian), and then we got booted out for comedy night. In the end, we ended up in the Trocadero playing pool and air hockey, with a side trip to the Sweets Factory for me and Ollie, and Whittards for all four of us.

I had a very, very good day, and I thank the good company. So ... thanks, tithenai, Jess and Ollie! I hope you come back to visit soon. Now I eat my pseudo-dinner of cheese puffs and sweets and contemplate plot and dusting off my Potential Venues file for a suitable building. Hee.
