Of Ron and Hermione, Valentine's Day and Danny Alexander...

Friday again! Been on the boat this week (the Thames is swollen and the boat is a-rockin'), working on the Taste the Bright Lights sequel (90% first draft done, woot etc), blogging for Pitchup.com and showing disproportionate excitement at the start of Chris Lilley's Ja'mie: Public School Girl (she 'used to be Jamie but added the apostrophe in Year 8'). Still not a patch on Summer Heights High, but very chucklesome.

I'm a fan of Vagenda Magazine, and the writers this week used their column in the New Statesman for a slightly scandalous imagining of Ron and Hermione at marriage counselling:

Whose ideal TV watching companion is Danny Alexander. The other half is a Lib Dem (I'm doing my best) and has let Mr Alexander know. Really. Here's the quiz - approach with caution:

My blog this week for Pitchup on anti-Valentine's Day (one would never guess I'm happily coupled):

And I'm off to the British Museum tomorrow. Good times.
