How I hate Facebook

In another example of blatantly pinching a link from b3ta, I would just like to record for posterity how much I concur with Grey Bloke on the subject of Facebook. Yes, I am on it, just for the benefit of the one person each year or so who contacts me that I actually want to hear from. Oddly enough, none of my friends from university have ever tried to contact me through Facebook, even the ones I keep in touch with. Art school graduates, eh? They probably haven’t even mastered predictive texting yet.

Johnny Depp Reads

Stumbling about the internet looking for the buzz about G.W. Dahlquist I have inadvertently come across what may be the greatest web forum ever. Johnny Depp reads, an entire website devoted to books Johnny Depp likes and books that his films are based on. I’m not joking about this. Everyone seems nice, polite, genteel and thoughtful. It’s just what the internet should be. Might start posting. Will definitely be trawling through over the next few weeks to see if I can find out what became of his film version of J.P. Donleavy’s The Ginger Man. In the meantime, here is the Dahlquist interview.

My joy at discovering that Temple, Chang and Svenson will meet up for a third time knows no bounds.
