And things
Apr. 25th, 2008 11:07 pmMostly I've been having very good taste lately. In that everything, almost everything, I want and pick up and then put back down again until I've proved it's not just a wild impulse, is gone by the time I go back to get it. I saw a necklace in a local art gallery that I really really liked, and I went literally the day my parents came up with my birthday money, straight after that play we went to see, and they'd sold it that morning. I've got in touch with the woman who made it actually, who's based in Nottingham, and she's kindly agreed to make another like it, and she said it would take about a week depending on how long it would take to source the materials. It has now been about three weeks. But oh well.
Cornwall was sold out. There was another holiday for the same weekend, but it was only two nights, which means two days of travelling and one day of holiday, which was slightly more expensive. So no. The next holiday they had similar was in June, when they will no longer be having the special thing with the bulbs flowering at the Eden Project. I told myself that I wasn't going to (finally) get Castle, Waiting from the comic book store to cheer myself up about this, because I wanted to get it on its own merits. When I went back the next day, they'd just sold out, and it would be another week before it might be back in stock. Another week was Thursday, and they didn't have it, so now I should wait until next Thursday, or the Thursday after that. Castle, Waiting is becoming quite apt. I was going to get Angela Carter's Book of Fairytales last night, but was already buying something else, so didn't want to splash out too much. When I went back today, it had sold out. Another week before the new order gets in. Also there are no Flamenco classes in Nottingham, an interest in which was the main thing I took away from Happy-Go-Lucky. Hmph.
But the mail is still working, and what I do have, as of Wednesday, is the DVD of the John Simm version of Crime and Punishment. Not released in the UK, but released in the Netherlands. The front is all in English, and the back is almost all in Dutch. I love it a lot. And I was so right to love John Simm's Raskolnikov. He wanders around staring at things. He has the most beautiful messy hair I've ever seen. He shouts in police stations then faints. He is great.
I also got the first series of Peep Show because it was £4.
( Spoilers up to 1.3 )
And stuff. I still have to buy flat shoes and two new pairs of jeans before the gig in two weeks' time. Hmmph.
