Tuesday 5th July

Had 'a day' today. Decided I could not suffer in the cold and rain without a jacket any longer so I trekked to Oxford Street to buy one from Kathmandu. Not the best brand but with 50% off who can resist. On the way someone tried to break into my bag again! Luckily I've now learnt to keep valuables tucked away. I was not impressed. Bought a jacket which was lucky as it decided to pour down two minutes later. Since I like walking in the rain (and drinking pina coladas) I watched as all the English pussed out and stood in doorways until it stopped while I got soaking wet. This was all good, cos as I sat, I like it, that was until I dripped all over the floor of my next destination which happened to be the greatest comic book store I've found yet.

At work I discovered all the black shit from my jumper was all over my white shirt. Sigh.

Has the worst day at work yet. Was seriously close to walking out until starstruck me got to serve Ian Holm. Love that guy! (Bilbo Baggins, Zach's father in Garden State). Thought about asking him for Zach Braff's number but as it turned out I wasn't able to help him so I didn't think it was appropriate. Man, I know it sounds bad when my only form of excitement comes from comic stores and celebs but as I've said my life is about the most mundane its ever been. Figure I just have to keep living like an incredibly boring person until I've saved enough travel (which at this rate will be never).
