i just wanted to add a wee bit about my favourite kind of blogs. well, apart from those published by my close friends, i particularly love blogs about...suprise, suprise...books, which category includes: blogs about books, about books on books, about reading, about writing, about illustrating them (including comics), about or of literary magazines (e.g. new yorker etc.). also i enjoy blogs about art of any kind, but it must be good (i.e. makes my brain tingle with admiration and awe). i've been finding more and more really great ones and now my only problem is to find time to keep up with it all! luckily many are updated only once a week. pheeew!

o.k., now i'm really going to bed.
