Scorning public transport in an effort to See Life, decided to Walk More. Saw man pee in doorway at side of John Lewis; Life, as ever, unexpected.
Recently, walking back from collecting Gloppitta-Gloppitta Machine from someone in Hampstead (thank you freecycle), was sad not to have seen anyone from HP- Trelawney, Bellatrix, Lockheart, Umbridge et al all live there. Instead bumped into friend not seen for two years, who is editor for Tim Burton; seemed reasonable subsitute.
Went for pint.
I confessed to vague HP obsession; she- smiled politely, conversation turned to other things. Four hours later (why the delay?!?) she casually mentioned, that between t/b films, she had edited HBP 'it was really good fun'- and asked would I like to go round Leavesden to have a look round? (yes- I would- thank you.).
Was, and am still, almost sick with excitement... I am a grown up, but remain impressed that I can still get thrilled like a 6 year old. Have no-one in real life who is the remotest bit interested by this- 'which was sad'.
Off home for Withnail, but no alchol (Lent), some swearing, and poss chocolate (also on Lent contra-band list, but snuck in somehow- guilt abounds).
Computer now back from the lovely Apple; though without pirate software- chiz chiz.
ninjas.....?
Weather sunny, but dark now.
Because it's evening.
Music this week?
The creation- Biff, bang, pow
Fleet Foxes- Ragged Wood
The Only Ones- another girl, another planet
Mozart- Requiem Mass (its pretty much either a wagner or a mozart week- this weeks, it's w.a.m. the r/m is an obvious choice; frankly, its a bit classic fm, but nonetheless, is still unalloyed epicness).
Book- Down with Skool! and Victorian tome on etymology.
*and forgot to send mother's day card or item- way to get dis-inherited. another week of accomplishments.
