The Wally^H^H^H^H^H Zorac Report

Thursday: Memories of two years earlier.

Friday: Went to work. Came home. Started to learn PHP. Developed obsession (and the beginnings of a webapp).

Saturday: More PHP. Went into town and wandered round the shops. Picked up Billy Joel CDs for £2 in a charity shop - go me! Went to the Order of the Phoenix Picture House to see Spirited Away, which was cool, although subtitled rather than dubbed. Came home. Coded more.

Sunday: Slept late. Coded more PHP. Watched Gigi. Only just remembered in time to go to Sainsbury's. Did some more perl hacking on my new code for RS.

Today: Work again. Took delivery of two hefty tomes containing the Illiad and the Odyssey plus new toys. Managed to cook dinner despite having forgotten to get more olive oil yesterday.

Tomorrow: Tomorrow, I love you, Tomorrow, you're only a day away!

And finally: GIU!

Thursday is doable - I don't get off until 6pm, but can probably be in town for around half past. Certainly Spirited Away is still on at the Phoenix for the next week and some - check their web site for the times - and I could certainly stand to see it again. At the weekend I shall be out of town, so Sunday morning's a no-no for me.

The times are a bit on the succulent side: Spirited Away starts at 6:15 and 8:45. From memory, the coach to Oxford arrives not long after 5 o'clock; I was planning to wander in the general direction of Pepper's (the only excuse for burger'n'chips) for dinner and then roll 200 yards back down the Jericho hill to the Phoenix. However, you're not likely to get there much before 6:30, by the sound of things, which isn't so handy - it's really not so much with the handiness. (Also: £5.80? Dude, it had better be a cool film for that sort of money. *still smarts from Spiderman*)

Plan B would involve meeting up at 6-ish, going to the 8:45 showing and me getting to Abingdon... well, not much before midnight. Possible, but not great. Plan B' involves meeting up at 6:15-ish, probably in Kidlington, for a couple of hours and not going to see Spirited Away at all that day (though I might see it on Sunday).

Plan C involves asking oxford_hp_fanfic to see if there's anyone else who'll be t00bing in town at the time. Do you know anyone who's there during the vacs?

Plan D: would you be interested in coming to Abingdon for one evening or more of games (silly, Chairmanly and otherwise) with Phil Hannay and the crowd who you have met before? I know you have plans for the weekend, but Thursday evening and/or Friday evening would both definitely be doable if you were up for it.

Certainly Plan A is not really practical. I, however, advance Plan A' in which you go to the 6:15 showing and we meet up afterwards for food/drink/whatever. Plans B and B' also work fine for me. Plan C: I don't think there's anyone much around during the vac, and the list is fairly dead now in any case. Plan D: Given that I have to get up early on both Friday and Saturday, this isn't so much a practial proposition by the time I've got to and from Abingdon.

My vote would be for A' or B', depending on whether you want to see the movie or not.
