all made up with nowhere to go

Tomorrow I am going to the comics thing! I actually don't feel that nervous about it, but I think I will be tomorrow morning. At least it won't be so bad once I know some people? (Assuming it's not all toss/elitist rubbish*. Hopefully it won't be).

I'm taking a bus that gets to town WAY earlier than I needed to be there, but I remembered there's a Sunday market that is not the official flea market (since that's Thursday), but there's usually lots of second-hand stalls there. And a games stall, assuming those guys still come. So I can look around that until it's time to go meet these new people.

(Or I thought I could see if the aquarium is still in the park**, but then I'd have to walk into town from the park, and it's supposed to rain tomorrow. I guess we'll see!)

New Hinterland tonight! *flails like a muppet*

So I guess I better go and pay attention to that!

*I am actually ready to FIGHT anyone who challenges me about my love of X-Men/Hellblazer/other stuff. I will throw my expensive latte over them if I have to. Because I'm going to buy an expensive latte because they meet in a coffee shop.

**I sort of want to look for reference for a story, but also because I loved that aquarium when I was younger, and I'll be sad if it's no longer there.

I swear I had things to write about and POOF! they are gone from my head as soon as I bring up the post box. *sigh*

So, maybe, a list?

# my mum is reading Discworld! (I may mentioned this before?? Sorry if that's the case) This has been a 20 year battle, because I've always read her bits I've found amusing, and she found them amusing, too, but when it came to read a book, she'd never manage to finish one. I don't know what I did right this time, but she's powered through Wyrd Sisters, Men at Arms (she wasn't so keen on that), and Monstrous Regiment (yes, we are being non-chronological because why the hell not? I've never read them in order). She is going to read Witches Abroad next.

(I'm saving up Pyramids and Thief of Time because they're the two I like best. Actually, given my Egyptology fetish has raised its head again, maybe I should re-read Pyramids).

# I made a second sale on Etsy! *dances* (I can't remember if I posted about the first one, sorry).

# OH YES. Has anyone else in the UK been watching Hinterland on BBC Four? MAN I LOVE IT. Not just because it is full of Every Welsh Actor You've Seen In Everything Ever™ ;) or because it is in English AND Welsh (with Eng subs) but because I like the way it's written and where it might be going. I even have Theories. I like that there is obviously Something Tragic in the main character's background, but you only get hints about what it might be (hence the Theories), and he doesn't wangst about it every single episode (he COULD. He so easily COULD, but he DOESN'T and that's part of what makes this show great).

Also I think going on long runs is the new drinking for TV detectives :D

I now also want to drop everything and refresh/relearn Welsh (I am SO VERY BAD at it).

(I think if I lived in Aberystwyth (which I never did; I was further north), I would just set up camp in the National Library and not come out because BOOKS).

# I am totally boning up on mythology at the moment. I don't know enough about Greek mythology, even though it is everywhere, and I DEFINITELY don't know enough Welsh (I vaguely know about Taliesin/Gwidion, and it turns out I know the story about Pwyll and Arrawn, but THAT'S IT. I am SUCH a loser).

(I did start reading the Mabinogion once, but obviously didn't get very far).

# Also I totally have a mythology tag. WHO KNEW?

# I think that is everything for now, I hope you are all well :)
