I hate the thought of being one of those worshippy people who believes everything is ambrosia and gold dust and pixie wings if it comes from the pen of a particular person (in this case, yes, yer Tim Winton), because it smacks of lacking critical faculties, but. In this case, I am that person. Fingers crossed for the outcome of all this parallel importing saga.

Yeah I did know that. But I’m doing a lot of literature/media stuff as part of an English major (which has already included studying some sci-fi) so I thought it might be useful.

I was there! I’m one of the “people you don’t even know” who was at your launch, dressed shabbily and applauding loudly and smiling broadly!

I was too shy to stick around and say hello, but everyone did a great job with the speechifying, and you looked so pretty – were those the famous Larbalestier boots I saw, peeking out from underneath your long black skirt? Although you were more dressed up than the rest of the Melbourne peeps, you looked like you belonged because you were all in black. Dressing all in black is very Melbourne.

I had the chance to have a browse through a copy of How to Ditch Your Fairy before the launch, and I’ll definitely buy it – next Wednesday is pay day, hooray!

All the best with the rest of your events, Justine.

Tim: Yay, on your demanding self.

You do know that Battle of the Sexes was my Phd thesis, right? That’s all I’m saying . . .

Adrienne: Thank you so much!

I’m going to a book store tomorrow and looking to see if they have it. If not, there will be demanding.

I also recently discovered that my uni has The Battle of the Sexes in Science Fiction at the library, so I may be borrowing that out as well…
