I just went to the library and got a book by Alain de Botton, and found out that, sadly, the William Dampier books haven't been seen since 1998, although the area of the stacks they were supposed to be in smells oddly of bananas.

(Okay, I made that last bit up.)

I also checked out my old favourite haunt and have heard of about two of the bands playing there - man, it's been a while.

I got asked out on the way to the library, oddly enough, but I didn't say yes because he had dreadful teeth and reminded me of my mate's ex, Sleaze. You may remember that I really didn't like him much. Then, on the way back, I got a huge grin and a HHHALLO! as a bloke sailed past on his bike. I was most amused.


ETA: Odd thought: I don't think I want to see Mandy Patinkin in anything else. I think it would ruin my happy illusions.

Which de Botton book did you get? I find The Consolations of Philosophy relatively superior to The Art Of Travel, but both have their good points :)

The art of travel. I was looking for Dampier in the travel and geography section when I ran across it and remembered that a hot girl at Uni enthused about him once.

LOL. Well, you'll have fun. Lots of good stories and he writes with a nice dry wit.
