The previous tenant joined the BMG Music Club, then scarpered, leaving us with a box of 5 CDs sitting on our doorstep.

A German fellow in CaféNation tonight glanced over from his laptop to ask what I was drawing in my Moleskine. "Clocks," I said. "I'm writing a book, and I need to work out what the clocks look like." This led to a discussion of the book, and his life, and how the one pertains to the other. When I left, he asked if I would mind emailing him when my book hit the shelves, and so I have an email address written in the back of my Moleskine. Apparently, it's only a matter of time until I have built a fanbase, all without having to show my writing to anyone. Brilliant!
