- learning the word “manicule”
- preparing mind for overseeing imminent magazine relaunch
- really getting into Lost – so much so that I’m now getting old episodes from iTunes and inserting them into the current series to act as handy flashbacks
- really giving up on Heroes
- amazed at how much some people love petty bureaucracy
- watching and loving a live broadcast of the New York Metropolitan Opera’s Madame Butterfly at City Screen (very posh – wore a suit and drank bubbly and everything)
- loving the new Yeah Yeah Yeah’s album (and being a little confused by the lyric “It’s Derek!”)
- looking forward to the second issue of Gym Class Magazine
- eagerly awaiting a velcro-based lawsuit scandal at the Beeb
- wishing I was at Colophon2009 or the D&AD Peter Saville talk
- listening to the incredibly clever Stanley L Witkin with the incredibly clever Dr B
- getting a little obsessy about manicules.
