Today was the Boston Perlmonger's June tech meeting. Since one of the presentations was on Parrot, a project I'm responsible for the design of, I decided to go. (It's only a couple of hours up to Boston from here)
Since I was going, and had some time to kill before the meeting (There is no way, short of dire emergency, that I'm driving in Boston any time near rush hour) I decided that a few side trips were in order. Specifically to Sasuga Books.
Now, I admit it, I'm a comic book junkie, and given the sorry state of comics in the US these days generally, Japanese manga's a terribly, terribly tempting thing. (Tempting enough that it was what finally pushed me over the edge into learing Japanese) And Sasuga's well stocked with it.
So, of course, they turn out to be closed on Tuesday. Argh!
And my second choice, since I like supporting small bookstores and it's close by South Station, was Calamus Books. Which closes at 7PM, 15 minutes before I got into South Station. Argh again!
Some days just work out for the best, and I hate days like that.
