Today is David Bowie's Birthday. Why the hell isn't this a national holiday. I guarantee you it's an intergalactic holiday. Also, also, also it's Spooky's mom's birthday ( Read more... )

Notes, marked-up print outs, galley pages, related correspondence, that sort of thing.

Happy birthday, Spooky's mom!

I guarantee you it's an intergalactic holiday.

Seriously.

The whole of the Andromeda Galaxy gets the day off.

Between Lynch, Cronenberg and Bowie, David is clearly one of the best names ever. (And, yes.)

Hail to the king, baby!

Notable, to be sure. But not an intergalactic holiday.

Well, I get the Howard Hughes references but I'd have to Google most of the rest! However, I've only been reading your blog for a little while. Oddly, despite being a huge Lovecraft fan and having read all of "Sandman", I just discovered your work in the summer with "Pickman's other model". I finished your novels last week except for "Five of Cups" (do you know any way of getting hold of it?)
