Now this is funny:
“if I see one more would-be guru tagging along on a rickety late-period goldrush line up unsupportable declarations (lookit me) to pique the five or six remaining executives (lookit me, sir!) to be convinced however temporarily that the web offers exciting ways to separate people from their money, and who have the UNSPEAKABLE FUCKING GALL to infantilize the work of individuals into an avoirdupois commodity called ìcontentî …”
I grew up in a village in Norfolk which contained eighty people and fifty houses. We had no pub, we had no shop. We had a boat-hire place, a church and a phone box. The odd pylon. And for several years I really thought it was the most boring place in the world. And then I saw this.

And of course, being English I have to deal with the horror that a lot of other people around the world are going to see what happens to her before I am. I don’t consciously true to avoid having it spoiled for me, but I am aware that it only gets me more and more frustrated.
So can someone tell me, is it true? I’ve just read an article about Buffy that has come through on the newsfeed I use for The Celeb Network – and it’s claiming that people have been shocked by the state of her at the beginning of the series.

In bleeding edge news, Kylie Minogue keeps Michael Jackson from the No #1 spot in the UK. I never thought I’d be saying that. Nor did I think I’d be saying that when she’d been number one for three weeks already. Nor did I think I’d say that the Kylie single is an unbelievably good little pop song that I literally can’t bloody stop humming…
