Expressive octopus-with-lanterns statue

The expressive insouciance of the tentacles are what really make this wonderful lantern-bearing-octopus sculpture by Scott Musgrove.

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.

I’m starting to think these shorter posts are Cory’s way of trying to improve our vocabulary.

It looks reminiscent of the Little Mermaid up on the rocks when the wave crashes up behind her.

Looks like an Ood.

  A reference to these? http://tardis.wikia.com/wiki/Ood
  
  They appear very similar to the illithid from D&D to me…

Can it be placed on the ‘Octopus table’ for establishing a nice cephalopod mood?
