My latest column features something I know a bit about these days: relaxing! The other night I joined my intrepid editor for the launch of Starbucks’s new Discoveries drinks, who partnered with Mills & Boon for the evening. The publishing giant apparently conducted a study that demonstrated that most women found it difficult to carve out…

Happy Birthday to the Joey Zone
I croak a belated happy birthday! Apologies. 🙁
London on Video
Here’s some quick videos (courtesy of my new Flip camera) just to give a flavour of my day Thursday, a quite wonderful day. I had lunch with Adele and Mark from UnBound, then Adele and I made our way from Victoria toward Soho, stopping at a couple of pubs that looked interesting and saying hello…
BitchBuzz: Poetry and Protest
In a rush, but here’s a link to my column at BitchBuzz. Video to post later! While it’s faded a bit from the news, the Twitter joke trial (#twitterjoketrial) will have a lingering impact, not only for its outrageous assault on reason and human rights, but for its less immediate effects on humour. In case…
Bike
What I’m doing in London: I do feel a bit intimidated by riding in so much traffic, but it’s certainly cheaper in the long run and sometimes, faster and more direct. And yes, good exercise. Yesterday cycled to the Tate Modern. Two new shows setting up, so a wander through the regular exhibits — miss…
London
🙂 Jet lagged but here! More to follow.
Anxiously Waiting
At present, it looks like the flight is on. We shall see things develop as the day rolls on. I realise that I never got a new camera after breaking the viewing screen on mine last summer. Hmmm. In the meantime, here’s my theme song for the flight. Wish me luck.
At Elena’s
My company in the bedroom at Elena’s this weekend: the orange mannequin and the gorilla in the wheelchair. Never walked into the room once without starting at the mannequin, thinking it was someone sitting at the computer. We had fun last night, drinking Bubbly Bisons (prosecco + Zubrowka) and watching The Women, yakking and yukking….
BitchBuzz: Hate Facebook?
My latest column at BitchBuzz.com: It’s the end of the world as we know it! Where’s Buffy?! She’s averted several apocalypses (apocalypseé? apocalypso?) already. Cameron’s behind this somehow, or Goldman-Sachs, I bet. Oh, wait — it’s only Zuckerberg? For a minute there, I was worried. Yes, as the guys at Wired have warned us, Facebook…
Jane Quiet Returns!
Elena’s got a new comic up at our Jane Quiet web jam page. Whoo hoo! This is the start of the second issue or arc, I suppose we ought to say as it’s on-line. Where did this start? I believe it was me combining Elena’s love of drawing dancing babes, my fondness for Johnny Vegas,…
