Am a bit stupidly busy this week: London tomorrow for the UK copyedit (how bonkers that I'm doing both in one week when they're coming out months apart), working Weds, off to Paris Thursday night (hurrah!) at some hideous hour (boo) meaning I really ought to try to get some kip Thurs daytime. Hmm. Maybe lunch on Thurs? or we could do afternoonish decaf, since clearly even I can't manage to sleep for the entire day. <br/><br/>How are you fixed? I wish to hear all the exciting developments about promotional thingies etc. And I think milk spews from the devil's own nipples, so you're safe on that front (though I do drink it in tea: tea + satanic juices are apparently somehow ok with my moral compass).

Not that I'm selfish or anything... Let's do lunch/smoothies/juice bar, whatever you like in town this week. Not milkshakes though...I'm lactose intolerant; I can't drink milk and I won't stand for it. Susie luv, sounds like you could cheer me up no end.

Presumably stuff I picked up from exactly that kind of cultural osmosis. *nods* It's very distracting when you're sitting there with your green pencil, thinking about cultural imperialism, when you're supposed to be finding a US equivalent for Noel Edmonds...<br/><br/>MG: Clearly they are so excited about the impending UK one (isn't it Jan? bloody hell that's quite soon) they can't be bothered. This means by the time the US edition gets into gear, you will already be festooned with 'the new Alex Rider/Young Bond' rosettes and you'll be able to be all demanding and Garboish.<br/><br/>Increased internet usage = increased crazy. There are just so many <i>new</i> ways to be a psycho these days. It's inspiring, in a completely terrifying sort of way...

I used to frequent 'talkers' early on the the days of the Interweb and came across all sortsa weird stuff (e.g. an online memorial for a girl who committed suicide after bending a bunch of people's ears...), but never anything this twisted.

When I ask questions about when the American version of my book is coming out - or indeed any question about the US version, people start staring into the middle distance and mumbling vague things like 'Well we don't really know about that...'
