thessalianI skimped on the details the last couple of days. Gomen. So list of things I got for my birthday:
1) Engaged to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
dodgyhoodoo (pretty pretty ring)
2) Runaways 1-18 in hardback fromdodgyhoodoo
3) Culpeper's Complete Herbal fromdodgyhoodoo
4) Culpeper's Colour Herbal fromdodgyhoodoo
5) Boston Unveiled (Mage: the Awakening supplement) fromweaselbitch
6) Encyclopaedia of Essential Oils from Mum
7) Two nice tops (one grey, one red) from Mum
8) One black skirt from Mum (that I still need to exchange)
9) A Perfect Circle CD from Mum
10) Silly presents from Mum (fridge magnet, teeny book on cats)
11) Body Shop products from my stepfather (who didn't get the memo that I make my own now)
12) £25 Amazon UK gift e-voucher from my stepfather; this soon became
12a) Go Ask Alice
12b) Battle Royale 14
12c) Strangers in Paradise 17
There was also a fantastic dinner at a nice little Greek restaurant that I kept seeing on my wanders and thought would be worth a try. My "nice restaurant" radar is still working as well as it ever did, and we both had a really nice time. We did the Camden wander thing first and, despite being depressed at the sheer trendification of Camden in progress, we still managed to have a good laugh at stuff and even do a little business ourselves.
See, we were pootling along in the market building (just upstairs from the Lock) and there was a guy there selling a new comic for which he was the artist. He also had some really nice prints -- his art style is fantastic -- and he remindeddodgyhoodoo and I so much of us at Dragonmeet that we stopped to have a word. (Besides, new comics from up-and-coming label always good.) So he gave us his spiel and the comic concept sounds really interesting, and has the 'organised crime' whiff to it so I asked him if he did commissions, then explained why I wanted to know -- I think his work would add a lot to Affils, and always better to have more than one artist on call, even if one turns out costly. He was actually quite enthused (about Affils and Urban Chaote) and we still need to e-mail him and let him know what's going on in that arena so here's me reminding myself. "Quiet" and "self-conscious", aberranteyes? Quiet and self-conscious people don't approach total strangers on market stalls with business propositions. ^_^
Anyway, must finish my caffeine, throw clothes on and go to Mage lunch. There are going to be a lot of us today, asguido_was_taken is now part of the group. We're going to have to have people on dining chairs now. All's good, though.
