Sat, walking into town. I ran into Saalim, nearly literally. He's at LSE now. <-- That's funny because it seems like everyone is constantly telling me that.

Sat, lunchtime. Met [livejournal.com profile] bachlover for lunch. We had fun, and went to dojo's, (mmm... noodly) which I haven't for a while, and were apparently amazingly serendipidous in arriving just in time for a table outside. And as I hope she won't mind my saying she looked unspeakably delectable, if cold, in a very sleeveless blue shirt and artfully draped scarf. I found someone to laugh at the "A monk went to Joshu and said 'Two cats are sitting on a roof'..." joke, as she'd read Godel, Escher, Bach too.

Sat, in front of Trinity. Met Joy (natsci, friend of lots of friends) in a great hurry.

Sat, minutes later in Heffers. Finally bought Mr. Norris. It's exactly the sort of book I love, from the langauge to the digressions to the sort of magic to the innovative metaphysics to the characters.

Sat, shortly after on the backs I was reading on the backs when David and [livejournal.com profile] wednesdayschild came up behind me and stroked my hair. I may look bald, but it is amazing like that: I feel sorry for pregnant women and Jesus :) Then we sat for about an hour having a pleasantly nostalgic and surreal conversation.

Sat, sitting on the backs, Saalim, *again*, going past driving a punt full of girls.

Sat, dashing home for buffy I passed a bike shop, browsed, found a man who sounded reasonably knowledgable and honest, and bought one. Then I pushed it home because I hadn't ridden for ten years and had a rucksack full of cans.

Sat, evening The lovely [livejournal.com profile] tienelle came round and helped me watch doctor who, and told me about time-travelling roleplaying games. I thought this ep was good, though not as good as the first one, am eager to see how it'll progress. I tried to tape it, but my Haupage Dec box isn't living up to my hopes.

Sun afternoon. I ventured out on my new bike to meet Justin, and during the normal wrangling about meeting place I hopped off to see Joy (a different Joy, from CUSFS) reading on a bench. We went off together to meet J, bought DVDs, J and I met T&R for coffee later and we all made fun of each other like old times :)

Mon morning. I came in for 9.25, and saw people I knew cycling.

LOL. Yes, I'd forgtten you probably would be; though in addition you need a really awful sense of humour, but apparently mathmos are heavy there too :)
