I've been rewatching the new Dr Who series, starring David Tennant, and oh god. How does a television show make me get misty over people in big rubber alien suits? How does it create a sense of majesty and tragedy about a time traveler, and make me care about a robot dog in just one episode? (you're a GOOD DOG. 'Affirmative.' AHHHH) I think maybe I've gone soft in the head.

Looking for a Christmas gift for the independent free-spirited lady in your life? The last time I looked, my novel Overqualified was something like #20 in "Literature / Single Women" over at Amazon. I have no idea how that sort of thing happens, but when I read that, I walked around all day winking at ladies on the street. As you do.

The TV show Hustle has me wanting to become a professional con man and pickpocket. What could go wrong? It's sort of the opposite end of the spectrum from being a super-villain, which has been another dream of mine for a while now. Do you think it would ruin my career if I kept getting arrested for picking pockets?

Are you looking for the perfect Christmas gift for someone you want to confuse with about 300 mixed signals?

The second Softer World book is here. It is called Second Best isn't so Bad and you can buy it right now if you like! 244 full colour pages (even the black and white images are printed in glorious full colour, for no reason at all! We are all about excess.) and at the end of the book there's a collection of the original black and white photocopy versions of A Softer World that we made in an all night copy shop with a stack of photos and an old typewriter. This section is called "Not bad for a first try."

Also, the first Softer World book, Truth and Beauty Bombs is up for sale on the Topatoco site as well! Buy them separate, or together for a discount! What kind of crazy world is this!?

(also, we included all the alt texts. How? IT IS A MYSTERY!)
