Eleventy Pages

Eleventy Pages because really I was just aiming for ten. Having failed at the ten, I signed up on a course to help me 'focus.' Over the next ten weeks I'll be writing about the course, the demons that writers face and well.. anything else that comes to mind.

My tumblr was created back in 2009, when I wanted visual inspiration and as a result my posts may appear slightly random (i.e. the LOLcatz). What can I say? I'm easily amused.

    nickdouglas: coketalk: Maybe it’s just my western cultural bias talking, but I think the universal unit of measure for the net worth of self-made women should be called the Oprah. Oprah’s net worth is valued at a constant 1 Oprah, and everyone else’s net worth fluctuates as a fraction thereof. For instance, Zhang Yin’s net worth is 2.4 Oprahs, Doris Fisher’s net worth is 1.1 Oprahs, and J.K. Rowlings net worth is .43 Oprahs, or if she prefers, 43 centi-Oprahs. I’m happy to report that my own personal fortune is somewhere in the neighborhood of 37 nano-Oprahs. “Did you know there are more Oprahs in China then there are people in the U.S.?”
