That's a pretty small demo.

All Glee and Great Expectations aside, I'm going to have to go with Adventure Time (or Adventures of Huck Finn). Otherwise I'm left with being Winona Ryder in How to Make an American Quilt. And it's not Felicity. So, sort out of a 3/5 name.

That's funny. It's one of my favourites as well, but a tutor I had at university immensely disliked it because it was the only Murakami book that jarred with his dissertation. I was penalised come exams for my penchants. 

I just finished it. It certainly did wax and wane, I'm not sure if I liked it or didn't. I liked the John Clare section the most overall I think. I certainly think it would have helped if he had reined himself in a little bit. Unfortunately it doesn't seem (going by the recent 1969) as if he's learned to.

He is one brilliant bastard.

Funny… Shortcomings is what got me into Tomine to begin with. I could really relate to the cultural conflict though. I didn't realise that people didn't really think much of it.

Sad to hear that about Lost Girls, it's in my stack. I was looking forward to it, but I'm reading Voice of the Fire now and (apart from having the worst binding/ paper stock I've ever encountered) it's just not that compelling. I like Moore's writing less and less as I get older so it's good to know there's a whole…

For accuracy's sake, you should switch the ages in your edit.

One of the posters for the most recent Harry Potter was totally cribbing Akira, I thought maybe they were trying to set up Daniel Radcliffe as White Kaneda.

Hey, admin takes a lot out of a guy. Gin puts it back in.

I just can't understand why people took this seriously in the first place. He's clearly an intelligent guy, and it just seems like no one was actually listening to what he was saying. I think he was making a valid point about how an individual comes to terms with one's history and descent and nobody seemed to hear it,…

I can't remember the title without looking it up, but Jeffrey Eugenides published a compendium of love stories that run the gamut of different emotions. It was a pretty good cross-section that encompasses Murakami-ness to Tolstoy-esque (sans length) tales.

I hadn't listened to this song in a few years and I was in a bar in Paris and they started playing it and then I was addicted to it all over again. It really mimics that turning things over again and again in your mind feeling, trying to get your thoughts straight but there's so much noise feeling.

Two in the front and two in the back comfortably, or perhaps three at a squeeze. It's not a big car, y'know?

How did you know about the jumping off bridges part? I did this bungee jump and I asked the operators to turn off their Aerosmith. I jumped off the bridge, and for whatever reason once I was dangling there at the bottom they cranked it back up again. Is it so bad to want a world without Aerosmith?

A hat trick's a good start: indicates cricket, which incidentally breaks up for tea. Somehow I don't think that's the answer though.

He is now!

I'm going to play 'You Send Me' by Sam "hundreds of kilograms of" Cooke as a kind of eulogy.

This is exactly how I feel about the guy. The 300 is the same deal, he seemed to just entirely miss the point of the story while more or less getting the visuals perfect. It's amazing to me that he seemed to miss the point of his own project with Sucker Punch (if it was indeed always supposed to be a critique). So,…

I never really got to talk to him. We had an awkward 'good evening' type exchange once late at night. I was constantly trying to think up an excuse to go and bother him. I considered asking if I could borrow M:I:3, but decided it was against my policy of bothering celebrities.
