.... random rants and rambles. no agenda. yet.

I've never been one of those people who like following celebrities on Twitter. Nothing against celebs; I just prefer to follow those who I know. (I'm sure Stephen Fry et al would be fantastic people to get to know, but that isn't the point.)

And this week, somehow, I stumbled upon Douglas Coupland and almost fainted in excitement. For those not in the know, Mr Coupland is my favouritest author ever - I, who rarely read books, have read almost all of his (the one or two I haven't read have been avoided for REASONS), and I usually buy his latest novel as soon as it's published.

So, I immediately became one of DC's religious Twitter followers, coming over all star struck when I got my first DC Tweet, which was something about coffee; "OH MY GOD! DOUGLAS COUPLAND TWEETED ABOUT COFFEE!" etc.

Of course, he is a good value Tweeter, posting links to brilliant videos like this, which was made entirely out of Lego, and saying gloomy stuff like "Life is like homework." which instantly becomes quotable. And I know this because I searched. Yes.

See? Even grumpy old me has idols too.

For now, I am trying to persuade C to watch the scary gory DVD which I bought because it was only £2.50. I don't even like gore...
