..was a shopping day.
We bought a new futon mattress (and had it delivered, too and the old one taken away) which was about time, because it was decidedly lumpy. I'm looking forward to less backache.
Then I also finally got more Buffy comics - number 1 has finally arrived and I also got number 6 the day after number 7 was officially released. Also, walking from the comic book shop to the futon place we wandered through Little Japan where a bookshop had a manga signing going on. There were lots of teens in costume around, among them one of the girls mentioned in this post. She had those cute little animal ears on her head and this time she didn't spot me - or she was deliberately looking away.... The boyfriend hadn't seen cosplayers before (and some of them looked rather wild) and I guess he was quite relieved that my fandom only goes as far as buying comic books...
And because we were already in a fandom sort of mood we also stopped at the record shop that turned up in our neighbourhood about six months ago. Yes, they're selling actual vinyl LPs and the owner seems to be Middle Eastern. The shop is crammed full with old musty records and we had a browse around. I had a bit of a giggle because I found odd albums from the 80s that I own myself - like Alphaville's first record and Joy Division's Closer. Currently we're listening to the more or less mint double LP of The Who's Tommy (complete with booklet and fold-out cover) that the boyfriend just had to get. Yes, we do still own a recordplayer and we occasionally use it.
