Time off
Taking time off work is great. Today not only did I watch Neighbours - which was just as preposterous and infuriating as ever - but when wandering around Warren St and Tottenham Court Road I visited an occult bookshop and passed two independent boardgame emporiums. Truly the possibilities are endless.
Then on the way home during rush hour a youngish businessman in suit and tie sat down beside me on the tube and whipped out a red Game Boy Advance SP. "Aha, he's probably using it to watch a badly compressed South Park video" I thought, and peered into his lap to see what he was up to. No - he was playing the original Game Boy edition of Pokemon.
A business man. In a suit-and-tie. Playing first edition Pokemon. On the tube. Brilliant.
