“If I waited for people I know to come with me to see bands I like… well I...”

I fell asleep for a couple of hours with all my clothes on and now I’m freezing. Is the answer to wear even more layers of clothes on top of the ones I’m already wearing? Because there is then a danger that I’ll look like a large moving pile of laundry, with a bald head balanced eerily on top.
Buying Garfield Minus Garfield the book?
I’m sure I’ve mentioned it before but contrary to what’s been reported on a bunch of websites, I didn’t receive a book deal for Garfield Minus Garfield (see here).

Another was convinced his every move was secretly being filmed for a TV contest. A third believed everything - the news, his...
