Primates: ". . . the death of Cardinal Tomás Ó Fiach, Primate of [All] Ireland. The newscaster asked some talking head whether he preferred to remember the Cardinal as a man or a primate."

It's not so much that Pete Townshend has a blog, it's what he put in the "About Me" section of it.

I won a copy of matociquala's new short-story collection in a contest sponsored by AbeBooks. It should be on its way this weekend. And I read Megan Whalen Turner's The King of Attolia yesterday and I can only say "This is awesome" so many times before it loses all meaning, and I have finally started reading those books about the wizard kid that people gush so much about.

Other than that I'm . . . not exactly depressed, just numb. Tell me about something awesome that's happened to you lately.

Heh. Those had two wizard kids, though, right? (I only ever read the first three.)

It depends how you define 'kids' really.
3 *human* kids and an assortment of other species.
The series is up to 8 and still running.
