Books and That.

[gemsybobsy]

I'm halfway through four books at the moment.

• A Peter Kay biography
  
• A book about geishas that isn't Memoirs
  
• A Johnny Depp biography
  
• Hitchhiker's Guide
  

I also have two Christmas books that I haven't even started yet. Too busy reading damn fanfic and the Muse board.

YET.
I have an urge to buy all the books on my Kaboodle list. I'd rather buy them all from a shop though as I don't see the point in buying them all online and having to wait for them, when I have a zillion hours of free time during the day and could easily get to town. Apart from the price thing of course, but when you add the postage price/postage time to it, it never seems worth it. Especially with Amazon, who charge you a bit of postage for every book don't they, especially if you buy them used? I've gone off Play.com as they take a MONTH to get stuff to you. Well, they took a month to get my DVDs to me after Christmas/New Year. But that could've simply been because of the time of year...

I dunno, I just wanna go into a shop and buy something for myself. Would be nice. Even if it's dirt cheap and second hand - care. NEED A SECOND HAND BOOK SHOP IN SOUTHAMPTON PLZ. I'm in that annoying mood where I don't have to do anything so I'm staying in and SAVING DIESEL, but I really want to go out. Hmmm. Another cup of coffee and a little catching up with my correspondence (i.e. reply to a text and spam Facebook walls) is in order I think.

I went to the dentist this morning. As I suspected, the filling in my achey tooth needs replacing. I lied and said I had no problems with it but she spotted it anyway. Damnit. That's another £75, including today's 'diagnosis and treatment plan' (i.e. poking me with a metal hook and saying numbers) and a scale and polish. Srsly. Whatajoak.

What can Mikey and I do on Saturday? He's not doing bands so we have day to self. Wanna go somewhere different!

Go and visit some sort of national trust stately home or something! Those kinds of dates are so interestng and fun! Or go to a national history museum, or to an art gallery! There are looooooads of fun things like that to do. I think Vince is taking me to this massive museum when I'm in Dutchland at the end of the month, and I'm WELL excited about it! :$

Thanks, you've given me some ideas! I dunno if he'll be up for any of them though, haha!

There's a great second hand book shop/coffee shop in Southampton... as you're going down into Bevois Valley from the direction of Portswood, just before the crossroads at Lodge Road... really great place for cheap books and a fine cup of coffee!

OMG. I've totally eyed that place up before.
SO GOING THERE TOMORROW. Thanks! x
