Chihuahuas are creepy. Chihuahuas in turtleneck sweaters can be up to no good. Watch your ankles!

Just what it sounds like. My quest to conquer the global media and take over the world. Maybe I can get my library fines cancelled…what can I say? It’s a last-ditch effort.
Operation Global Media Domination: the UK situation
I am not quite sure how this came to pass, but according to Wikio I am now the 300th most powerful blog in the UK.
Pity I’m not IN the UK.
Maybe I should send flowers to Boriswatch? Important jobs for all my bloggy Limey friends!

For one day – more if you can tolerate – sit in the same place all day.
You can only move for the toilet, nothing else.One chair all day.
Dude, that’s what I do for a living: I’m a blogger!

Quote o’ the Day: Toby Young on Fame
It’s rare indeed to find someone whose fascination with the phenomenon of fame exceeds my own storied obsession, but I have indeed located one such sick and deluded soul, and his name is Toby Young. And here is the smartest thing he has to say on the subject, shamelessly stolen from his book The Sound of No Hands Clapping
There are so many different varieties of fame these days we need to develop a whole new vocabulary to describe them. At the moment, the best we can do is to rank celebrities according to whether they’re A-list, B-list, etc. But even if we use every letter of the alphabet that still only gives us 26 different types. That’s surely not enough. Eskimos have 47 different words for snow. Shouldn’t we have 47 words for celebrity?
Selah.
