He's got my publicity !!

Poor old Anya must be a bit peeved at the news that the bloke who inspired her to create a blog to get a book deal has only gone and got himself some more publicity from the BBC. Hugh Sawyer has made the news because he's upping sticks (probably literally) and becoming homeless in Ecuador. (What a grand life those homeless folks live, eh readers !) Avid readers of the turgid tale of Anya will recall that she used his blog to advertise her own, even going so far as to feign surprise that she was mentioned by the New York Times and handily providing a link for anyone who wanted to see her blog. (Don't forget it was written for herself though and was absolutely in no way a self promotional tool!!). Quite how she could be surprised when she obviously gave the interview in the first place isn't explored though. Probably a result of that mental illness that she'll be harping on about in the book. I quite liked the quote by the Beeb about Hugh Sawyer that "He has tried to make his living as authentic as possible." Mmmm..... Me too. I'm sick of meeting people who only pretend to live.

Maybe she'll add a link to his blog on her own now, something she failed today despite his kindness towards her. self-aggrandising cow!
