Oh, this could go so very badly
Dec. 14th, 2010 11:58 amI am so, SO amused that John Taylor friended me back on Facebook this morning (me and everyone else who friends him). There are so many ways this could get embarrassing fast! I do not trust Duranies to behave themselves in public.
But he seems to be having a great time (re)discovering social media, tweeting up the new single, leaving reviews for it on iTunes and then posting screencaps to his wall, etc. It shouldn't surprise me, since John's always been the Duran who likes interacting online with fans (at a safe, exhibitionist distance), but there's still something a little surreal about the whole thing.
I am not going to ask him to join my mafia, although the temptation is very nearly overwhelming.
However, I am going to go back and edit all of my old JoSi fics to include a very unfortunate Farmville addiction for Mr. J. Taylor. Just because it entertains me.

Angry Birds Update:
The Seasonal edition is WAY HARD. But after a great deal of anger, I prevailed at last. Suck it, level 1-1!

We are having an office Angry Birds war with the original addition. Is seasonal worth buying? I have Halloween, and it's -- cute but probably not worth it in addition to the original.

I'm still stuck on level 1-2, so I can't speak for the rest of the game, but it seems a lot harder than the original. But then, I got it for free from the Android market, so I didn't have to decide whether to pay for it. I guess it would depend on how much it costs?
Good luck in your office war! Kill those suckers!

This.
