Update
Last weekend's Telegraph had a really good interview with Eddie Izzard (they mentioned the US TV show he was in with Minnie Driver, The Riches - I must try + catch up with that at some point, I really liked the 1st couple of episodes I saw). There was also a lovely tribute by Jack Whitehall to Richard Griffiths, the actor who died recently (best known for his roles in Withnail + I and Harry Potter but he'd done loads of other stuff) - I didn't realise he was actually Jack Whitehall's godfather and he did sound like a lovely man.
Tatler mentioned there's a kind of sequel to the book, Dear Lupin (which was a series of letters from a father to his son) - it's called Dear Lumpy (and it's the father's letters to his daughter).
Elle magazine had a little mention of The Great Gatsby (am I the only person who read the book & didn't like it??) plus a feature on punk that had quotes from loads of people including Pam Hogg - several of them mentioned that punks became like the teddy boys they often condemned, that it became an uniform and an exercise in retro nostalgia rather than the one perfect moment of rebellion/individuality that it was supposed to be.
Next month their free giveaway is a Benefit mascara.
I also caught up with the 1st few episodes of Revolution (JJ Abrams new TV series, set in a post apocalyptic world where all the electricity has gone + people are now living as best as they can ruled over by gangs of militia). I actually quite liked it (tho' I do reserve the right to bail on it if it becomes crappy like some US TV series are wont to do) - I especially loved Miles + his niece, Charlie - there is a gratifying amount of BAMF-ery on all sides plus lots of sword-fighting and snarkiness.
My heating is still broken - I really hope they can fix it tomorrow. I'm also worried my TV is breaking and I have no money (or rather I will hopefully have some money soon but it's all earmarked for other stuff I need as well). I suppose if the worst came to the worst I could watch stuff online till I could get a cheap TV from ASDA or somewhere.
