Look what James just gave me. SO. EXCITING. I am pleasantly surprised that my veneer of being totally used to all this dissipated somewhat when presented with the actual physical books for only the second time ever.

I heard that there was a good review of Secret Ninja Spies in a children's print magazine, which I've been completely unable to find. But! Today Usborne sent us two links to blog reviews, both of which are really, really nice. :D

Bookbabblers: It’s an exciting book and keeps you turning the pages to see what happens next. (This one is obviously ( Read more... )

Apparently Secret Ninja Spies 2: Football Frenzy exists in physical book form, but they've not managed to send WP any author copies. So maybe those will turn up sometime soon? That would be nice ( Read more... )

Someday, a lovely, melancholy look at Martha and Donna and Rose's experience of travelling with the Doctor. To a song sung by Gonzo the Great. It works, seriously. You might have to turn your volume right up though, the sound level is really really quiet ( Read more... )

So actually it's more kind of vaguely coffee-flavoured warm milk. That's not going to send me straight to sleep at all ( Read more... )

DAMNIT.

I have about 19 days to write about 17000 words. I really could have found a better time to rediscover the twisted, awesome, hilarious genius of Abe and Kroenen.

There are more than a hundred episodes. I could easily ration myself to one every time I wrote two hundred words. But I might still not be finished before Christmas...

Heee. Very nice evening yesterday - Phil popped up at the last minute with a spare ticket to see Regina Spektor in Hyde Park! It was AWESOME. She played a lot of songs from the new album which I don't know yet, but which were very pretty. And then she played On the Radio (UH!OH!), and Apres Moi (asdkjflk I love the Russian so much it's such an ( Read more... )
