Updates

To avoid the mind numbing chore of checking Anya’s' site for updates (which seem to be done every other month now), I have a small script running which checks for changes. The log for Thursday 4th Jan showed a change but all that was apparent was that the cover of her forthcoming blockbuster (no sniggering at the back) had been added to her links column along with a link to the Amazon listing. Strangely though, there was no actual blog entry update as to her status. Just an attempt to flog her goods and chattels via the blog (which the more cynical amongst us would realise was the reason d étre in the first place). Just what does she spend her time doing these days? Apart from reminiscing about the good old days when she was homeless, of course and therefore more interesting than just another unemployed person living in a bedsit. In a curious twist, I received another alert later in the day that there had been more changes to the blog. Naturally I hot-footed it over there (I really ought to get a life) only to find that the expected blog entry wasn't present. In fact, the only change was that the book cover and link to Amazon had now disappeared. Very strange. Could this be the equivalent of trying on a new dress and admiring yourself in the mirror? Had Anya grown so bored, locked up in her bedsit all day, that she was considering an actual post about some actual news but chickened out in the end? I rather favour the hypothesis that she doesn’t want to whip the Media into a frenzy over her book too soon.
