Hmmm...

Carrie Fisher. I love Carrie Fisher. To the point that when I joined an all-women book group without realizing just what that meant, I told them all she was my favourite author. Cue: scorn. Postcards from the Edge is great.

Also: Anna Karenina, The Wasp Factory, Franny and Zooey...

Oh and from the childhood section- The Secret Garden, Little Women and Tom Sawyer. Awesome.

On another television topic, has anyone been to Throng lately? I thought it was intended as a fan site, but there seems to be a lot of industry babble...

Okay, so maybe I've only witnessed rape trials in television land, but courtroom drama teaches me that addressing the complainant's sexual history is fair game. I don't know if that is the case in New Zealand or here, but (and going out on a limb) it does seem a little bizarre if the jury can know about this, and not previous convictions.

For the last two days my email's actually been getting sent...but it's all been tagged as SPAM. Apparently they were testing new spam filters...Nice. A good look.

Another vote for Ubertec, definitely the best Mac retailer, and have brilliant accessories including the very Mac friendly STM bags.

In the interim (and I'm hoping this is the interim) this is an interesting local site to check out:
