yeah, so. barnes & noble with gundam after work. got a bunch of stuff, including the granta book of the short story, which i’ve been wanting to grab for ages. edited by richard ford. num. also another gibson novel and some other stuff that escapes my memory right now.

some bjork thing is on hbo. we watched invader zim earlier, and powerpuff girls, yay. an unfortunate chinese food experience; i asked for pan fried noodles and got some soupy vegetable glop with what looked like chicken but may have been deranged mushroom. but there was white rice and there were chopsticks so it wasn’t entirely bad.

gundam and i are gonna head out to ikea tomorrow. there was a bunch of stuff i wanted to get but didn’t when i went with my parents, and gundam hasn’t been in a million and two years, so how could we not. i’m specifically thinking i need some sort of lamp for my bedroom and possibly a small table for my living room. but we’ll see.

some sort of anthrax scare on the subway today; there was closing of stations and delaying of trains but i eventually made it into the city more or less on time. a bunch of trains skipped stops to make up lost time, i guess. i’m not sure if there actually was anthrax anywhere or if it was just a hoax, but i gues it doesn’t really matter since the reaction is more or less the same.

pondering batcave tomorrow. matthew was going to come, but now he might not, and if it turns out that nobody we know is going we probably won’t. but of course it all remains to be seen how we feel tomorrow evening.
