I have to admit that I have given up on The Dark Tower books for now. I have had The Drawing of the Three out of the library for four weeks and, apart from a first spurt of reading, I haven't touched it. So I'm taking it back to the library tomorrow, and I've started Northern Lights again instead. Oh my gosh, Lyra seems irritating this time around. BUT. I think that's partly because I'm not far in (pg. 14), and partly the mood I'm in. Anyway, it's my book, so no worrying about about due dates or fines. I shall persevere!

Today me and Annette went to the Royal Armouries in Leeds because she's awesome and takes me places sometimes. I've never been to the Armouries before, and have been dying to go for YEARS. We spent two hours looking at all the Oriental armour which, compared to the rest of the place, is not that big a section. I want to go back one day to check out the martial arts bit and maybe the crossbow range.
There were lots of kids there, so I assume kids in Leeds must get taken on school trips there a lot (because it's not half-term yet). I wish I'd been taken to places like that as a kid (I did get taken to some museums, but never a freaking ARMOURY).
I wish I could say more about it, but I am super tired and can't brain. I'll upload pics when I get to them (probably the start of next week), and link to them when I can (ugh, flickr, why are you such an arse). Because you're OK to take photos there and awesome armour! And visual puns! And amazing signage! (I didn't take that many photos, actually, because samurai/Persian/Indian armour is nothing new to me* - I have books with that stuff in - but there were some things that demanded photos to be taken).
*So you might ask why I went. Well, that was because I've never seen any of it for real, and wow, it was totally worth it.
