Wheeeeeee!

Zipwire was fabulous.

It started at the top of the stalls at one side of Manchester City's stadium, and ended half way up the bottom tier of seats on the other side. It hardly lasted any time at all, but was brilliant. Except they wouldn't let me go again. And my Whee!Adrenaline! threshold has increased so it was just fun & not scary.

Then, since I was nearer the city centre than usual, I had tea & toast in Cafe Pop until Forbidden Planet opened, then bimbled around their manga section for a while. They currently have a 3 £6.99 books for £15 deal. It's a good thing I'm broke atm, or I'd have ended up investigating several new series, and that isn't including the ones I *know* I want to try* but where the first volume wasn't in stock.

Has anyone heard of ES (Eternal Sabbath)? Godchild? Angel Sanctuary? Death Note? X/1999?

Anyway, I ended up with vols 6-8 of Descendants of Darkness. The plan was to spread them out until I go to Whitby, but they're rather more addictive that I'd expected. Nor did I expect to find myself thoroughly flabbergasted at some of the comments & asides. Everyone else needs to read these, right now so I can have incoherent OMGWTF conversations about them.

I'd like to know why FP won't order specific volumes in (apparently, they get what they're sent & have no say in the matter).


And for no reason other than it's gorgeous, have a cat via ladynaberrie.



*Saiyuki and Full Metal Alchemist, mainly. I forget the others until I see them written down.

Whee!! A bit of Manchestaaaaah I actually know. I had lunch in Cafe Pop once and then spent probably more of the afternoon than was necessary staring at a life-size cut out of Spike from Buffy in Forbidden Planet and haggling in vain with the shop assistants.

Anyway, hurrah for zipwires too!! I've been on an Army one, but yours sounds EPIC!!

I love Cafe Pop :) Such bad taste, in a very "I want that, and that, and that, and..." way :)
