Beware of the Scorpion.

[reddragdiva]

Into Camden with cyberneph. She wanted to investigate poi, you see. Went to the juggling shop, priced them, Neph pined a bit. Went across to Scorpion, where I got mugged by a pair of size 47 New Rocks. (Style 591, silver and black Reactors, zip-up side. With that stupid lace-through-the-heel thing. As if the laces will stay for more than ten seconds after I put them on.) Possibly the only size 47 New Rocks on Camden High Street. And they fit me like Cinderella's furry slipper. Dammit, I don't NEED another pair of boots! What am I, some sort of GOTH?

(Scorpion are at the corner of Chalk Farm Road and Castlehaven Road - east side of the road, just across the lights from the Camden Lock Markets. They're very nice and not obnoxiously pushy. You'll feel good about having been mugged by some Nice Boots.)

Having bought those, I figured I could spring for poi for Neph. Happy birthday, four months late!

To the Dev for a few pints with gashinryu and blaadyblah and their many friends (hello in particular to iravyn and cerne). Paul got mugged by some New Rocks too. Flick apparently spent about six and a half thousand pounds in her head, if not in cash. It was a fine Sunday afternoon out, and there should be more of them.

Paul has a new camera phone. It is a very silly device.

p.s.: SNOW!!!

When I went to Hawaii I learned that poi (http://www.tropicislemusic.com/food/poi.htm) was this gooey substance that people eat there. Imagine how confused I was as I was trying to figure out why these would be at a juggling shop....
