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 [livejournal.com profile] ladynaberrie.



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

First: before I forget, a link snaffled from [livejournal.com profile] raggedy_man: I'll take one of each to go, please.

Second: Spending the evening's roleplay discussing how to get one over on precognitives and (when that fails) how to use them for one's own devices. The consensus of opinion was that the former was doomed from the start, but the second is best achieved by sitting on them and throwing out possible actions until their brains go *pop*.

Third: Remembering the joy of playing a man, especially in a high-tech superhero game setting. I don't often get to say, "If you wanted to know which side I dress to, you only had to ask; buying me a spandex bodysuit really wasn't necessary". One friend had to leave the room until his head readjusted itself :)

Fourth: Driving past two naked men jogging down the road on the way home.

Tomorrow: Going to the town hall with rp friends for a Japanese Cultural Day (GM is taking Japanese lessons).

Sunday: A 450' zipwire "challenge" at the City of Manchester Stadium in aid of Marie Curie Cancer Care. I haven't been collecting sponsorship this time, cos of doing the 10km run in May, but I still paid the entry fee.


...And then I have 3 1/2 days to panic about getting ready for Whitby. I have Nothing To Wear, and No Money (I get paid on Friday, which will make the Thursday night interesting).
