andrewduckerThe day started perfectly nicely, waking at 8:30 and then managing to put myself back to bed until 10:30. I then pottered about, reading email, chatting online and eating porridge until 13:30, before heading into town with ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
tisme - I was going to get the latest Lucifer TPB, she was heading over to help out backstage on eduard_green's play.
And then the bus, which should have taken 15 minutes to go straight to Forbidden Planet spent 40 minutes circumnavigating the entire city centre before dumping me a ten minute walk on the other side of the shops. I headed back in that direction only to bump into the cause of the problem - a peace march vacuously chanting slogans along the lines of "Peace, yes please." and "George Bush, we're not huge fans." Which, I have to say, was probably making a huge difference to the progress of global politics. Especially as the UN has already put together a peace proposal, Hezbollah have agreed and Israel are debating it tomorrow.
In addition to this, FP had sold out of the new TPB, as had DeadHead comics, so in a fit of rage I bought the first 5 TPBs of Ultimate Fantastic Four (written by Brian Bendis, Warren Ellis and Mark Millar - how could I resist?) and JLA issue 0 (which very nicely put together from a melange of different styles dating from modern times back to the earliest issues, and gives a nice sense of history to things).
I did manage to finally replace my trainers, which are now two years old and falling apart in about 15 places. And for £25, which isn't bad for what seem like a good quality pair.
Tonight I'm off to see Rich Hall, and thence to Absynth, where I shall dance to whatever insidious noisespidermonster decides to inflict upon us.
