Yesterday I finished reading A Tale for the Time Being by Ruth Ozeki. It is a fantastic novel of past and present, of intertwining characters and the complex relationship between reader and writer, of Zen Buddhism and quantum physics - in particular the ‘many worlds’ theory of Hugh Everett.

Today I wandered into a bookshop and picked up the biography of Mark Oliver Everett (Mr E of Eels). I started reading it on the Tube home - on page eleven he mentions his father, Hugh Everett.

It was one of those little coincidences that makes the world a much more interesting place.

This Eamonn O’Neill short was part of a onedotzero animation sampler screened at Somerset House today. I love it.

The actor who plays the Dothraki badass Khal Drogo, on HBO’s Game of Throne, eats 56 chicken breasts a week to stay huge. That means they have to slaughter 28 chickens every seven days to feed this man. That is simply… inspirational.

56...

The cast of Game of Thrones, being normal and not covered in mud or snow or gowns or fur! How bizarre! Thanks BuzzFeed. http://www.buzzfeed.com/lyapalater/game-of-thrones-actors-doing-normal-stuff-is-so-weird

The fact that someone was actually paid to put a little hat on EACH AND EVERY ONE of those ducks is beyond me.

Very sad news about Iain Banks today.

Reading his novels as a teenager was one of things that lured me to Glasgow University, where as an undergraduate I studied ‘The Bridge’, written under his science fiction (not so) nom de plume, Iain M. Banks.

As a postgraduate student, I met Iain whilst volunteering at the Oxford Literary Festival. Rather embarrassingly, I asked him for his ticket on the door to his own event, to which he bemusedly replied, ‘I am the talent!’

Now, as a thirty-something working in the publishing industry, I am sad to hear that he will be leaving us.
