"Cthulhu, is that Y-AAaaaaarfgh!!!"
... And oh yes it was.
And here I was, over at my parents' house, back in my old hometown, on my way to go straighten out my glasses ( why I'd twisted them is best to be left into oblivion) and decided to go check out a few bookstores on the way.
"Surprise" isn't a sufficient word to describe the feelings I wen through in 2/3 of a second once I noticed this black book of Awesome. Nearly 900 pages and every single story I've held dear over the years ( and a few new ones, as well), mine for only 22€!
Being back at home wasn't all about finding The Ultimate Book, however; still having a load of friends back there, most of my weekend went to going out and going out for "just one" - not leafing through the several 1000+ page magnum opuses I was supposed to read. Not that I was that inclined either; it was simply a matter of "I should" coupled with a retrospective "I didn't".
But that's not to say I didn't get shi-... stuff done: apart from supporting literary culture, I also got my hands on a deluxe edition of The Good, The Bad and The Ugly and I ( mostly) finished a few posters I'd been tasked with, so you can't really call me lazy, right?
And getting to see my friends was something my wobbly mush of a brain needed; apart from getting both the heads up and lo'down on everything ( like my friend getting a record deal, yay!), I got to see my first UFO: a really fast dot, moving in one single direction while gently swaying back and forth in an S-shaped movement, only to suddenly blink and disappear! I'd have liked to just call it a satellite, but satellites don't tend to alter course, so I'll play it safe and just say that there must've been a new anal probe out in stores in Alpha Centauri.
Plus, it sounds better on my CV.
