I really must write myself some emails at futureme soon. I’ve been thinking about what I want to do with my life over the next few years, and how I can fit some of the different things in. The problem is that my current plans require at least two additional languages and two other countries.

I’m still figuring myspace out. I guess it doesn’t quite gell for me because I already have a blog (this), a website (the rest of the site, sadly rarely updated), various photo albums, etc; I feel like some kind of sad fangirl making ‘friends’ with musicians I don’t personally know and finally I don’t have anything to promote so there’s no USP for me.
Otoh, if I’d seen this earlier I could have been in Nick Cave’s new bands video.

I can’t believe I haven’t posted www.cnnnn.com before. If you dislike cnn, you’ll love cnnnn.

Continuing the ‘local news’ theme, “Organisers of a village Christmas party have been told they must carry out a risk assessment of their mince pies – or their festivities will be cancelled.” BBC

A kid I could like. I never thought the day would come, but who could resist this?
“I didn’t have an imaginary friend. I had an imaginary nodding acquaintance instead. We didn’t really talk much, just nodded or raised a hat if we passed each other on the pavement.” From the Museum of Childhood site.
