Today was a mixture of great and terrible. I got up at 8:30 this morning and popped out to pick up the SCART box from the post office (see previous post). Having been cheered up by that, I wandered out to gaming with

pisica and
aitkendrum, left my phone on a bus and had to stop off for 15 minutes along the way to phone
tisme and get her to try and track it down.
She'd failed to do so by 4:00, when I got out of gaming (the phone went from not answering at all to being off), so I headed off to the Orange shop and tell them to kill it, derailed only by bumping into
poisonduk literally as I was leaving the game. I'd previously arranged to meet her, but having lost my phone had no way to get in touch and arrange specifics. By sheer coinidence her and her man-thing pulled into Bucchleuch Place just as I walked through it. So she gave me a lift across town and then loitered in HMV while I sorte things out. I now hve to talk to the police and report it lost, so I can get a lost-property number for Orange. _Then_ I have to go to the bus Lost Property offices on Monday and see if they have it. If they don't I report it as totally missing and they send me a new one.
Anyway - to flashback slightly, the game was good fun. Started a bit slowly with lots of introduction, but once we got into the whole 'investigating a graveyard to find Ghoul tunnels" followed by "Try to avoid the mob, who also seem to have an interest in the graveyard" and "Try to avoid being killed by the mob, who seem to be really keen on us not going anywhere near the graveyard, or indeed, having a nice meal in a decent restaurant" sections it was rather good fun. I tried not to monopolise too much, but I have what work refers to as a "Preference for Action" and therefore tend to want to Do Things. I am such a 6 year old.
Anyway, flashing back forward again,
tisme came and met us at the cinema, where we watched "We Don't Live Here Anymore", which was slow, but I rather enjoyed. Two couples who are being unfaithful with each other slowly tear themselves apart, with some people putting themselves back together, and others realising that apart is better. Nicely done, if nothing terribly new.
However, me and
tisme fancied more cinema, and so headed for the UGC, to make use of our passes (£10 a month for all you can watch). There was nothing I fancied apart from Kung Fu Hustle, which was absolutely perfect in every way. I plan to write that up separately, so you'll have to wait for that...
Anyway, now seems to be bedtime, which will mean disturbing the purring fluffball on my lap. Wish me luck.
