Mind reading, object moving implant.

This is interesting.

I've been trying to do the washing up by thought alone, but no luck so far. What do you mean, it's known as 'being lazy?'

Golden Age of children's literature

Apparently, this is.

Pausing only to note that my publisher has never yet hired an island to celebrate publication day.

Ah, Thursday...

On with the writing. 2K so far today and still going.

I have also got everyone's photos arranged for visas for China and have reached a new low in personal passport photographs. I usually look dreadful in photo booth pictures, but these make me look as though I'm applying for a place at the Betty Ford Clinic. I'll be surprised if they let me into the country.

Out to dinner tonight with my friend R and meeting up with her partner X after that.

X is a journalist and shortly about to embark on a pre-election bus tour with John Prescott. R, OTOH, works as a stripper/pole dancer. It must be awful to have to associate with sordid, unethical people who only want to exploit others. Still, at least R's got a respectable career and X can't help what he does, I suppose.

huh? The Harry Potter quiz

how can I score highly as Ron *and * Draco? Oh sweet mysteries of life....

You scored as Draco Malfoy. Spoilt and proud, you place high value on the purity of wizard blood and look set to follow in your father's somewhat shady footsteps.
