Blog post and a funny

I blogged over at Slash and Burn about inspiration (specifically about Counterpunch).

And this is something that came through Twitter: stuff people say in bookshops.

Me, I've taked half the day off work to celebrate my/our end of our probationary period - my partner's been three months in his job, and me six months. We're heading out to a restaurant in North London that serves Afghan food (the alternative was Russian, but I wasn't in the mood for that).

The "two birds" book is moving along just fine. Only 150 words yesterday, but that's OK. I do expect to write a bit more tonight and over the weekend - I should hit 10k at least.
