matgbFirst, Space Invaders. It even has links to two, different, mobile phone versions. Yes, I did download both.
Second, bought SFX Wednesday, but given I also bought Private Eye and 2000AD at the same time, it got opened from the wrapper earlier. Open it up, get past the contents page (who reads contents pages in magazines you've bought? You just read through the whole thing and skip the crap, right?), and see an advert. The advert is for some events at Blackwell's Charing Cross. Two events, in the same week.![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
innerbrat will be attending regardless, but, well, am very tempted. nadriel? If I can get the week off work (shouldn't be hard work), can I crash at yours? Could use it to scope the job market for my sort of skills and look around a bit while I'm up there as well.
I have the next, complete, week off work. I've got some plans, but not much. I lazed yesterday (installed Starcraft, I blametheweaselking for posting origami Zerg last week), and, well, slept this morning. Am supposed to be doing some food shopping and tidying the flat. In reality, am messing about online. Ah well, I have another week to kill.
Anyone in the area got anything planned and/or time off during the week? Have car, will travel (locally). I thinkfaeriecween is due down to visit Exeter at some point this week, so hope to see her while she's down, beyond that no idea. Suggestions welcome.

Assume
Neil Gaiman - Fragile Things.
Monday 25 September at 7pm - Logan Hall, Institute of Education, 20 Bedford Way, London WC1H 0AL
From the genius that brought us The Sandman, Neverwhere and American Gods, comes the latest book Fragile Things. This new collection of short stories will dazzle your senses, haunt your imagination and move you to the very depths of your soul. This extraordinary book reveals one of the world's most gifted storytellers at the height of his powers. Neil will be talking about his new book, his other projects, signing and taking questions from the audience.And!
Terry Pratchett - Wintersmith
Thursday 28 September at 7pm - Logan Hall, Institute of Education, 20 Bedford Way, London WC1H 0AL
Wintersmith is the third book featuring the exploits of the rowdy, smelly and blue-skinned Nac Mac Feegles and the inimitable trainee Tiffany Aching, following The Wee Free Men and A Hat Full of Sky. Terry is one of today's most popular and successful authors thanks to his phenomenally successful Discworld series. This is an EXCLUSIVE London event so book early to avoid disappointment! Terry will be in conversation with the Artistic Director of the Bath Literature Festival, Sarah LeFanu.
Tickets £7.00, concessions £5.00. To book tickets call 0845 456 9876.

Date: 2006-Sep-03, Sunday 23:08 (UTC)And if you feel like coming to visit at any point next week, guess what? I'm free all week. Again. Aside from when I'm screaming down the phone at recruiters or people who sold me crappy failing hard drives. And when I say "screaming at", I actually mean "politely conversing with". But I'm screaming inside.

Date: 2006-Sep-03, Sunday 23:13 (UTC)Meh, I've only had the book a year, I've still not got back some of my books from years back. And I've still got a few books of Paul's (I think) from when we shared the house.
Next week probably can't be done, finance says two journeys to London in one month is a bit too much.
Aside: you've caught me in the middle of coding my own layout theme, you like?
