The sexy little minx.
Yo Gabba Gabba (elijah wood)
I've just returned from the hay Festival and am plum-knackered, but have had a wonderful time. And fallen a little bit more in love with Alan Bennett.

Oh yes please...
I'm currently listening to the audiobook of The Graveyard Book when I go for walks (as I am about to do) and mow the lawn (as I have recently done).
But I wouldn't be saying no to the live version.

The Complete Smiley
Rather excitingly, Radio 4 is dramatising all eight of John le Carre's George Smiley books (though, in fairness, one or two of them are really other character's books with a guest appearance from the toad who dresses like a bookie).
Call For The Dead has already been broadcast today (though thanks to the ever wonderful iPlayer it can still be listened to here) with the following adaptions coming over the next month or two.
More information here.

Words of love, stamps of myth and Swedish boys in the nip.
You dance with the grace of a goat, my love,
And you sing soft like a cow on the mountains.
Truly words of poetic genius, God bless you DWJ.
If you click here, you can buy the sexy stamp and stories collection by Dave McKean and Neil Gaiman. And very lovely they are too.
Finally, this both makes me want to watch Britain's Got Talent as well as live in Sweedon. I'll not be doing either any time soon of course, but the thought was there.

Something about 'Nuclear Wessels'.
Gosh, it's been a couple of weeks since I posted. Bad boy.
I'm keeping low and quiet right now, very much looking forward to the Hay Festival, and nursing the delicious new crush that has emerged from the latest Star Trek movie.
Don't you just want to stroke him? And that access is just the cutest.
Weirdly I haven't been to see Coraline yet, which is actually quite surprising considering how much I was (am) looking forward to it. Maybe tomorrow.
I have seen Maximo Park at the Academy however, which was very enjoyable, though sadly the new tracks aren't exactly wonderful live (enjoying the album mind). The new ones - for all that there's a very upbeat element to them - pretty much drained the atmosphere from the room. I also saw Ross Noble the other week, also enjoyable, but people who clap instead of laughing should be shot by the authorities.
I am also now officially addicted to Diana Wynne Jones books.
