A day out.
I was up vaguely early this morning at 9 am and had a relaxing bath. It didn't help me wake up at all as warm baths naturally make me quite drowsy, but at least I felt better. By 10.45 am my girlfriend turned up and we read a bit of NewType USA before heading off to Brighton. When we got there we did some shopping, and I bought five little anime figure sets for Genshiken and a little lazer ornament from Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow. The little lazer is awesome for my Paranoia XP campaign, so that's all happy and good. My girlfriend bought a Marvel graphic novel and another rather spiffy looking graphic novel with a dude who can control the powers of hell. Lots of goblins and good artwork. After that we briefly popped into Daydream Nations so I could get a new card folder then we headed to the cinema. It was pretty good timing (in theory) as when we got there it was three minutes till the start of Casino Royale. I say 'in theory' as though we got into the screen on time, there were 25 minutes of adverts. Bloody things. The film itself though was excellent and I thoroughly enjoyed it, and so did my girlfriend, guessing from what she said. Afterwards we went to Wokmania for our meal as it was nearby, and the food was very nice. Though a buffet, I only had a single plate, and not much was on it, since a small meal was enough for me. Even so, I'd quite like to go back there again.
Once we'd finished the meal it was back to my place where we watched some anime together, wrapped in a duvet, to complete the day. It was one of the best days I've had n a while, as spending all of it with my girlfriend was really, really wonderful. I'm not sure how else I could express that really, but 'wonderful' is close to the word I'm looking for at any rate. Unfortunately she had to return home as she still has college, so I proceeded to sort through just over 2 folders' worth of rares, sorting them into colour only rather than set and colour. This allowed me to actually get all of the same colour in set areas, which is bound to help when I make more decks. I really should get round to more deck making, but I think I need to find some more land. Hmm. Well at any rate once that had been finished, and thankfully it didn't take long, I ended up doing more sculpting work on my Diabolus fighter's cloak, fleshing the folds out more and so on and so forth. The Borat film was playing as I did this and it's quite a funny film, if a bit odd. My Diabolus only needs another day or so of sculpting and it'll be done and ready to (re)undercoat. Then it'll be the happy job of painting him, so that's all good. That's all for now and I feel quite wrecked, so till next time.
