Another Day, Another $205.18
Weekend was busy. Disposed of numerous things on TradeMe, and gained enough money to eat until next pay day. Played jarratt_gray's Mage LARP on Saturday night, in which evie_fae's character, Nyx Catastrophe, raised the concept of getting someone to "Ghost Angel Sit" for her, which to me is crying out to be used as the title of something. Ended up geeking over TV shows with argentbear and exiledinpn while catnip_mouse put up with us.
Sunday I woke up in time to get dressed and do the dishes before my ex-wife arrived with Ben, and I took him into Armageddon to see Christopher Judge (Teal'c from Stargate ) We got there in time to see the end of the Stargate movie, which means I have no need to watch the rest of it, it felt like just another episode. Judge was arguing with Bill over whether the footage shown of the moon-landing in 1969 was actually recorded on the moon. Ran into sproke_ina_can and partner multiple times.
Ben enjoyed getting a free Demon pin-up calendar, and I spent more than I should have on manga and animé. Still, it was cheap animé, $5 a disc or less, and I filled in several set holes, now needing only one disk each to complete my Last Exile and Wolves Rain sets, and now have an almost complete Fruit's Basket manga set. It would have been complete, but I couldn't remember exactly which ones I was missing. Ben was very good waiting for me as I dug thru the bins, though he did want to take the life size "Girls of the Playboy Mansion" cut-out home with him. Found the real live Halo Warthog to be amazing, and didn't quite buy Vampyros Lesbos, though I was tempted.
While there, I got texts from ferrouswheel asking to be picked up from the airport at two, and I needed to get lunch for Ben and I, which meant that I completely failed to find asgard and go "Phwoar!" at her slimmer figure. Sorry, luv!
I tried to convince Ben to have banana pancakes at Astoria, primarily so I could have one of their Mega-lattes, but he insisted on Burger King. Picked up ferrouswheel, and I got my bowl latte at the airport while waiting. There's something about bowls for latte, it makes me drink it in a more spiritual manner, as if it;s miso or sake, and headed out to panda_pitt's place for a family birthday gathering. Evening excitement was provided by regular txt updates from amphigori about a lovely thing she was doing for me in Christchurch. Big hugs to that lovely lady for her efforts! It turned out to be an extra special day for that to happen, but I'll let seraphs_folly explain that if she wants to.
Now to get more things listed on TradeMe.
