I don't know, EJ, I feel like his lack of motivation and back-story is what is so scary about him.

(I am aware that the fact that I apparently have $1 000 000 000 to invest in a young writer would imply that I may already be as rich as a Twilight fanfic writer. I'm doing this out of philanthropy, as much as anything else.)

I saw The Pogues live just after they reformed in the mid-00s. Shane McGowan dedicated a song to me by saying "ThishonegoesouttothemanwhoisdrunkerthanIam" as I was, indeed, extremely inebriated but having the time of my life.

Yeah, it's some kind of street urchin delivering a two-fingered salute (in Britain/Ireland/the Antipodes, two-fingers is the same as just the one). I once googled 'kid doing the fingers' to respond to a query from my boss and liked this picture so much I held onto it for Twitter and AVC.

I drove past a car wreckers on my way to work this morning and the electronic sign above them said 50 SHADES OF GREY. It never changed to reveal a joke or any explanation.

Cloud Atlas was incredible but I was really disappointed by the only other book of his I read, Number 9 Dream which just seemed like Murakami-lite.
