News You Can Bruise for 2007 July 18

(1) Wed Jul 18 2007 06:11 Oysters Before Swine: Had dinner last night with Rachel Chalmers et al. Rose presented Rachel with some clothes for her kids, including one that said "enfant terrible." Someone (I think India) suggested a mini "I'm blogging this" T-shirt for infants. I countered this saying that "I'm being blogged" would be more accurate. It was just like the Algonquin round table! (p533-556 of The Oxford Book of Humorous Prose)

Wed Jul 18 2007 21:29: I was just getting ready to release my awesome new album, and then I discovered that there's a new radio sitcom about Bletchley Park. I can't compete with that!

(5) Wed Jul 18 2007 22:15: OK, here you go. The new album is Omne Animal Triste and it's got nine songs you've probably not heard before. Blaaah!
