This n that in OD

Went into a bookshop yesterday. Only meant to browse, but ended up buying three books. And they only cost me a fiver! One is a Stuart MacBride book that I read when back home for Christmas but did not have, one is a book about spree killers (even if it insists it’s actually about mass murderers) and one is about familicide.

I guess I’m now addressing those of you not freaked out by my strange obsessions.

Getting kinda frustrated. One: I have an incense tower. Using this, I can burn four incense sticks and an incense cone simultaniously. I’m running out of sticks, but they can be easily replaced.

The cones, however, are proving to be somewhat of a fucking nightmare. I’ve only found one place that sells them in Boro. They cost £3, come with a burner I don’t need and are jumbled up so I have no idea what kind of cones I am getting. Nor do I know exactly how many I’m getting (though it looks to be about 20). They are wrapped in a lavender netting type fabric as well, so would need somewhere to store them. (ooh! Just thought, excellent use for my old baccy tin.)

In addition, I decided today to look into getting a new mancala set. Holy shit, didn’t quite realise how fucking expensive they are online! Cheapest I’ve seen is about £7 for a folding set similat to the ones I’ve seen in shops (though not recently, sadly) for £1. Looks like I’ll have to wait.

Good weekend coming up though. Go home after getting kicked out of here, watch videos then a friends leaving do. Tomorrow I’m going round to a friends to drink beer and watch Doctor Who (seriously, how fucking good has this series been?) and Man U get humiliated in the Champions League final. Sunday, can’t come online except on my phoen as the library will be shut so will rpobably stay at my friends and watch the Monaco GP. Monday, again no online except on my phone so it’ll either be a film or Adam Curtis documentary day. Or I might get some writing done.

5 days till the shortlist for the Alibi New Crime Writers Awards are announced.

And that’s about all for now. If you could see your way clear to not updating much on Sunday and Monday, I’d appreciate it :¬p
