homemade cannelloni, very tasty but I didn’t have a proper crêpes pan available, so they wouldn’t fly properly.
and you know, flying them is half the fun of it… :-)
note to self: get a proper crêpes pan the next time you attempt such endeavour.

“How do you rank yourself among writers (living) and of the immediate past?
I often think there should exist a special typographical sign for a smile– some sort of concave mark, a supine round bracket, which I would now like to trace in reply to your question.”

Microsoft has apologised for a brief outage which saw its search site Bing disappear from the internet.
That’s okay Microsoft, no one noticed.
I’d suspect they staged the outage for the publicity if I wasn’t so unsurprised their new search engine had crashed already.
The Nanny state reduced risk taking and danger in popular music. The very founding spirit of rock and roll was danger. Danger as perceived by those who didn’t understand the outburst of energy and excitement that this early musical form drew out of teenagers. Parents and adults in authority voiced their concerns and this led to ridiculous moments in musical history such as TV cameramen being told to only film Elvis Presley from the waist up.. If we fast forward to 1975 in the UK, we find that rock and roll, a mere 20 or so years later, with only a few exceptions, had become commercial, flabby, conservative and mostly dull. Then along came a new genre of music delivered by bands like the Sex Pistols, The Clash, Siouxie and the Banshees who injected rock with some street smarts and and sprinkled it with just a soupcon of danger. It was known as Punk Rock.
The whole article is a brilliant, must-read manifesto.

journalists (!) have made efforts to validate her artistically by likening her aesthetics to some David Bowie phase, but of course they conveniently forget that apart from all that, there was also music in Bowie’s body of work.

What a difference a consonant makes. We had no idea, after transposing the “u” and the ‘g” in the title of “Going Rogue” for our own Sarah Palin anthology “Going Rouge”, that the mix ups between the two books would spread so far and with such persistence.
