Squicked. Yes.

Renji (a harddrive I rescued from a broken laptop and put into a USB case) seems to really be dead. D: I think a malfunction of the front USB ports of the comp killed it, because nothing else I plugged in there works anymore. But plugging Renji into other USB ports also don't work (though other things work that way). Poor, poor Renji. First you lost your body, now even your brain's broken.

So now I got an old MS and installed Firefox Portable there. Guess what, FF 3.5.3 and AdBlockPlus don't like each other. DDDDDD: Nooooooo!

Syl called last night, she might visit at some point this weekend or I might see her tomorrow night or something, nothing's been decided because I don't know what I'll be doing. Tonight I'm going to see family and maybe staying there for the night, but I don't know how long I'll be in London for on Saturday, what people want to do and whether or not they expect me to participate. Because I'll be in London, though, I've printed pictures of Dave in case I get time to go to China Town for a haircut. (Could do that closer to home, but somehow I have a feeling that in China Town I'll get less weird looks for pulling out such pictures and saying "I want this.") But yes, [livejournal.com profile] dystopiarcadia and [livejournal.com profile] storme you guys are welcome to visit if you like! I'll be posting when I know what I'm doing tomorrow. >> Sunday I definitely have nothing to do but that's also when the East Anglian train line gets engineering works and travelling becomes quite annoying. =/

I've been reading Sekai Kindanai Taizen. I got past the first few sections just fine, but when it got to the graphic necrophilia and cannibalism... um... *shrinks into the seat* It's not even "kindanAI" anymore, it's... kindan-THIS IS SO GRAPHIC I'M GLAD IT'S IN CHINESE AND NOBODY ELSE ON THE TRAIN CAN READ IT ARGHHHHH.

Um. Yes. Friday.

*makes a note*

As mentioned I have to check with the SO, but otherwise am totally down with coming to visit.

:D I'm usually free at weekends, actually (things are just a bit unusual right now because of family) so whenever you feel like visiting is good with me!

Awesome!

I seem to recall you saying there were decent fabric shops up there, too, right? :P

[identity profile] yuki-scorpio.livejournal.com 2009-09-25 11:49 am (UTC)(link)
Yup~ there's Franklins which is a haberdashery chain (closed on Sunday :(), Fabric8 (until recently it was called The Remnant Shop. ;; I miss the old name. Not sure if it opens Sunday) which is an independent one, and there's also Dunelm Mill (open all weekend). :D/

Oooh, choices!

(I have bought a ton of the *other* stuff I need for the costume, but no actual fabric yet. Because I am dithering over types of fabric, mostly.)

...Huh, so I really should try getting up there on a Saturday, in that case. *makes another note*

Saturdays do seem better. *nod*

Still no idea what I'm doing tomorrow. Although my mum's here I don't know if I want to be near a crying baby for too long. orz

Yeah, I can sympathise.

Haven't chatted to the SO yet either. Gotten sort of caught up in cutting up little visio plans for re-arranging all the office furniture. :)

lol, there's no hurry, like I said I'm usually free at weekends. It just depends on how keen you are on getting the fabric. >D (me, I usually can't wait. Even if I'm not starting on something for another week, if I could I'd just get the fabric now because I get impatient and excited and I like having everything ready. >_>""")

Oh, I am the same way. It's bugging me a lot that I don't have enough of anything to poke at it properly yet. :\

Enh, SO seems to only have plans to sleep off jetlag, as far as I can tell. So, I think that means I am mostly free for stuff.

[identity profile] yuki-scorpio.livejournal.com 2009-09-25 09:38 pm (UTC)(link)
And I found out I'm not really needed tomorrow~ currently wondering if I should go get haircut and then head home, or just head home and leave the haircut for another weekend. Either way if you're up for a trip to Colchester, we can even take the train together. :D/

Hm, sure, sounds good to me--if I'm here I'll be lazing about (and playing TLR) with headphones on to block out the sound of snoring from the next room. :/

What sort of time where you thinking of getting the train?

[identity profile] yuki-scorpio.livejournal.com 2009-09-25 10:10 pm (UTC)(link)
Around 11-ish from Liverpool Street, I guess. That sounds okay?

[personal profile] storme 2009-09-25 10:17 pm (UTC)(link)
Yep, sounds good.

Okay! I have your number but just in case, I'll be under the big departure board in the middle.

[personal profile] storme 2009-09-25 10:21 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah, cool, I will see you there at around 11, then!

(Also, have paypalled you for the hotel. Yay!)

\o/

(Got it! Maybe people in Paypal central thinks I'm your rent boy. XD)

(Possibly. The question is what you did *this* time that earned you a few pounds more than last time, I guess.)
