It's been a great day:) I'm rather tired atm, but that could be because I woke up a tad bit early to catch the train to Newcastle and meet the lovely ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
littledrop. Our topics ranged widely throughout the day from archaeological theory, to arch. pratice, to fandom, writing, travel, to life. Very good stuff:) Activities wise we visited the Newcastle Uni. museum where we mocked their selection (and Mithras. Can't forget Mithras.), and the Hancock museum where we saw their interesting collection of 'druid bling' amongst other things. I particularly liked the morbid death rings from medieval times. The rest of the museum was less interesting and more mockable, but we had a good time wandering around.
We also were inexplicably drawn to forbidden planet and another comic store nearby where I shamefully bought a new Edward Elric figure (it comes with four different arms, and three different hands *L*), and the FMA manga.littledrop made what was undoubtably a very grave mistake;) and let me talk her into buying the first Saiyuki manga and the first dvd of Cowboy Bebop. We attracted some very strange people to us during the day, such as a drunk man with very good taste in music, and a very old homeless guy with very few teeth who told us a very rambling tale while trying to get us off our guard to steal something. He also said I was a smasher (I think that was the word he used... whatever) and gave me a kiss on the cheek as we left o_O littledrop introduced me to a new drink which I'm already quite fond of despite it's simplicity - double Malibu and coke, and I wish I could have stayed longer since we were having a great time. Ah well.
I've been reading Les Mis. on the train, and I'm nearly on the last hundred pages (finally!). I'd be closer to the end, but Victor had to go off on another of his rambles about philosophy and revolution and the belly (I wish I were making this up... I suspect the translator could have chosen a better word.) right in the middle of the baricade and I found it much more intriguing to stare out the window and listen to my music. There was also a beautiful sunset on the way back that I got some gorgeous pics of. May post them someday.
Just got a request to translate Not Another Snape is Harry's Father story into Polish. At least I think it's into Polish. The person making the request didn't mention the language, but that's where their email is from. It's interesting how many requests I get to translate my stories into other languages, though the only one I've seen online since is The Penitent Man in Russian (and I never recieved a request to do that one anyway). I suspect most people start a translation and never finish it, something which I really can't blame them for. I'm always left wondering how they'd translate my jokes into another language anyway.

I read Saiyuki on the train home, as promised. Too a bit of getting used to, that reverse panel layout, and of course I didn't find the reading guide until the last page of the book. Oh, well.
And Cowboy Bebop! Love it!!! I'm about to go search out fic - Spike's a total hottie. You give good pimping. *g*

I hope you enjoyed Saiyuki at least, despite getting used to the layout. I have to remind myself to read regular comics left to right these days sadly enough *L* You want to look here (http://bane-huntress.com/OffLicence/index.html) for proper Saiyuki droolage:D
I'm glad you enjoyed Bebop *g* Did you already watch the whole dvd? I should warn you that there are some serious spoilers for the series, so be careful with the fic (if you care about such things).
