7:00 am	A Jesus and 12 Noughts Now THIS I would pay to see: Peter Greenaway to crack da Vinci Code with animated version of "The Last Supper." http://arts.guardian.co.uk/art/news/story/0,,2256943,00.html My introduction to Greenaway was "A Zed and Two Noughts," back when it was screened at the Hirshorn Museum a million years ago.  Cousin Paul later took me to see "The Draughtsman's Contract," and I was hooked.  Even when he's kind of boring (Greenaway; Paul is NEVER boring), he's interesting.  But will we see the Full Monty, as in "The Pillow Book"?

11:18 am	Podcast Okay, here's a call for help/suggestions.  I've professionally recorded a podcast of me reading an excerpt from my new novel Generation Loss, out in a few weeks.  The reading is the opening chapters of the book but works as a self-contained performance piece.  There will eventually be two versions of this: the original, raw, unenhanced version (the one I have now) and a professionally engineered version with soundtrack, sound effects etc.  The present version is about 40 minutes long and, I have to say, came out fantastic, far better than I had even dare hope.  All that acting training 35 years ago finally paid off!  But now I'm not sure what to do with it.  I want to have it on my site for a free upload, which my webmaster Zali will handle, but I'd obviously like to get it into as many hands as possible, for free, to promote the book.  I will confess to being pretty clueless as to how this stuff works -- how do you advertise it or get the word out, other than through a forum like this.  Any ideas?  Someone suggested giving out CDs when I do readings & signings, which sounds like a good idea.  Anyway, I'm sorry to sound like a total ignoramous but this seemed like a good place to ask for help.  Many thanks ...
