So Simon Amstell is coming back to NYC next...
fairexchange:
I’ve got an overwhelming urge to wait around after his routine so I can ask him to be my best friend/have a Ben Whishaw fanfest with him. I should probably start working on suppressing this urge, right?

This morning at work, I was opening some packages of recently acquired books. One of these books was entitled Rimbaudmania.
Sadly, looking through this book will probably be the high point of my day.
PS. This book contained a Rimbaud thong. It put Richey Edwards’ Rimbaud boiler suit to shame.

Almost everyone wants to be a lover. And the truth is that, in a deep secret...
– Carson McCullers, “The Ballad Of The Sad Cafe”

Some reviews of mine that have shown up recently…
A review of Karen Elson’s The Ghost Who Walks. Actually think I did a decent job on this one.
A review of Crocodiles’ Sleep Forever. Despite it being derivative, I kind of wish I would have rated it higher. I’ve been thinking about a couple of songs a lot.

Nicky Wire interviews Socialist politician Tony Benn.
This is actually an insightful and very interesting interview. But because I’m simple, it took a good four minutes before I started paying attention to the discussion due to being distracted by Simon Price’s ridiculous hair and Nicky Wire’s politics fanboy expressions.
