High Fidelity is better, mostly because I don't get the same sense NH was thinking of his fans, writing stuff, and going "Ha, ha, they'll really dig this."(Sometimes it was true, sometimes not.) HF felt more personal,imo. But he does really understand the modern fanboy/girl and he gives shoutouts to things I love all the time...like "The Wire" and "The Rockford Files"(Which he listed along with spliff and a leather jacket as a component to happiness, iirc.)
Oh, yeah, baby, it's snakalicious in here.

Spike's Bitches 46: Don't I get a cookie?
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

"Me and Mrs. Jones", yeah,
Ooooh, LOVE. I don't know why I don't own that one.
Music-relatedly, I have been earwormed with Solomon Burke's "Don't Give Up On Me" since I woke up. I love the song, but not on an endless loop. Geez.

I think I have it three different times. If I got a chance to meet Nick Hornby, or my crime-writing boyfriend George, I'd totally tell them that.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I just discovered that the Hawaiian What A Wonderful World has been hiding on my iPod. This journey through All The Songs is illuminative, and is sparing me some duplicate purchases.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Random word and font geek grumpery:
How is it possible that, with a huge body of hand-engraved writing to work from, nobody has yet created a William Blake font? Or, at least, nobody who's then gone on to post it anyplace I can find through Google. I can't possibly be the first person ever to think of such a thing. Somebody else, somewhere, sometime, must have.
::shakes Internet vigorously, hoping Blakefont will just magically tumble out::

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Cool, DJ!
Is everybody aware that one of the femme fatale's in Will Eisner's comic The Spirit was named Sand Seraph?

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Very cool, DJ.
