My brother and I went to see
Wanted after work today. We had fish&chips minus the chips for dinner from A Salt and Battery, which is adorable, and had beautiful noises floating about. I sneakily asked my brother if he knew what the song was, because obviously my corporate financial analyst ballroom-dancing brother knows his progressive music. He asked one of the awesome people behind the counter, who told me it was John Digweed. I stared at him blankly because 1) have never heard of John Digweed but of course he's huge in progressive music because it sounds great 2) come on, DIGWEED?! As it stands, I had indeed heard correctly (all English now sounds the same to me, because I've watched too many episodes of
Never Mind the Buzzcocks) and now the awesome people who work there think I can't understand British accents.
This Norwegian-Dutch actor came in, though, to catch up with the staff, and it was really cute. Apparently he just finished a horror flick in London with one of Hellboy's Visual Effects people, in which he plays a goth guy who dies really awesomely. Exciting, mmm.
Borders has a sale. I'm probably not going to end up buying anything, but I am especially contemplating
Pippi Longstocking and
Alice in Wonderland. However, both of these books are books that I would rather pay obscene amounts of money to own in really cute or original artwork. Other things that look interesting are Susan Cooper's "The Dark is Rising" (apparently good?), "Lord of the Flies" by William Golding (apparently epic?), Peggy Parish's Amelia Bedelia books, Madonna's children's books, Louis Sachar's Sideways School books, and Andrew Clements books (well, they were awesome in fourth grade, I'm not really sure how they read NOW).
