Wombat!
A wombat for Susie:
As I was walking up Martin Place* on the way to work, I passed a little girl, about five or six years old, holding on to mummy with one hand, and clutching a toy wombat in the other. Other than that... I got the credit notes to match up! (Mostly.) Yay! I got a copy of Keith Laumer's A Plague of Demons. Yay! I got volume 14 of the Oh! My Goddess!** manga.*** Yay! Now I can finally read volumes 15 and 16, which I already had. Someone explain to me, by the way, why there are now 78 episodes of You're Under Arrest and only 5 of the far more entertaining series from the same author? Also, new volumes of Noir (as seen on USS Clueless), Cardcaptor Sakura, Tiny Snow Fairy Sugar****, Onegai Teacher, um... (Ducks downstairs.) Chobits and Mahoromatic. And since someone decided this year is 1995 part two for computer games, Warlords IV. There goes my weekend... * Which you've seen in the original Matrix - the scene with the Marilyn Monroe type in the red dress - only it was dug up and rebuilt for the Olympics and doesn't look like that any more. One of the features of the new Martin Place is a fountain built into the paving stones, that periodically sprays a fine mist on anyone who might be standing in the wrong place. ** "Ah! My Goddess!" - the manga*** was named before someone pointed out the obvious pun in English. The Japanese title is Aa! Megami-sama!. Which translates to, well, Ah! My Goddess! *** Comic book. In thise case, a nicely printed, small format collection, or "graphic novel". **** Cute. Phear.

Last night I dreamed I was a pirate, but a mall pirate...and I had a lovely wombat on my shoulder. Very cuddly.
Then I went to HotDog On A Stick and we shared some cheese fries.
I need to get out more.
