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!!!

Good afternoon, yes, definitely...and good company. :-)
And my phone is a very sensible device *g* It'll certainly save dragging the digicam and laptop over to Las Vegas. ;-)

Date: 2003-02-16 09:03 pm (UTC)Speaking of camera-phones, I very much want one of these (http://www.sonyericsson.com/P800/) (beware, Flash-infested). Guess it's time to start saving...

"Do you mind if we join you?"
"Ah... we're waiting for a whole bunch of people... oh, you are the bunch of people!" ;)
Paul got mugged by some New Rocks too.
And damn good they look too... even if I have had to clean out the car so he'll still be able to get in ;)

LMAO! That's just what I was counting!
It was a fine Sunday afternoon out, and there should be more of them.
Will definitely have to be done again, and next time I'll make sure I can be about for longer :)

Wotcha! Was nice to meet you on Sunday :)
Are you down the Dev this Friday?

That's an improvement on my (roughly) around 1.3 million ;)
