Soylent Red

Regular readers may know that I'm something of a fan of one Danny Wallace. Not just a fan, actually, but a subject—Danny is the king of his own micronation, The Kingdom of Lovely, of which I am a citizen. He's also The Leader of my not-cult, Join Me (it's not a cult; it's a collective).

Danny has a new book out, called Friends Like These. It's about a quest (oh yes! another one!) to track down a bunch of old friends Danny went to school with twenty years ago. To promote the book, the Danny Wallace Appreciation Society group on Facebook ran a competition in which people were asked to submit their stories of how one of Danny's previous books—Yes Man—had affected them.

It seems I won. Nice one. I look forward to the copy of Friends Like These I won to join the other two I accidentally pre-ordered.

Discovered a show called Keeping Up with the Kardashians. I'd watch Keeping Up with the Cardasians.

There's nothing in this world more disturbing than a half-and-half "smoking hot" and "reminds me of my cousin".

I'm at a concert talking about pensions. Scratch that. *Twittering* about talking about pensions.
