Depressing & Excellent
One of my favourite blogs Twenty Major (Tagline: Still Smoking in Dublin’s Bars) has, if Sinead Gleeson is to be belived, gotten a two book deal with Hodder Headline.

One half of me is really happy and the other sad becuase there is little chance of me competing with Headline for those books and I would dearly have loved to be the publisher of such an irreverent, comic and talented writer. If Headline were willing to secure one Irish Blogger no doubt others will follow to the big publishers. But thems is the breaks I suppose.

Seems like the old Blog to Book trend is no Fad (though I echo James’ thoughts earlier)

Loving this Cardigans album not enjoying looking for a new place to live
