random blathering + vampire thing + stuff before I actually go to study

1. European elections in two days. And I don't even know who the hell are the candidates except for one. Also, I'll probably go voting with my head again and I probably will want to vent come Monday. Blah. If I think about how excited I was about voting when I still couldn't vote I feel like crap. :/

2. But, yesterday I went and just took my way-

Dave McKean is such a brilliant illustrator. You really should check em out. I haven't read Coraline in that version (just the normal kind with some regular illustrations thrown in. I think I even own it *laugh*) But Ellen, a friend from school, owns All three I think (Coraline, Wolves and Goldfish) and I looked through them and they are just so amazing. I think I read all of Wolves in the Walls, but I've only listened properly to The Day I Swapped MY Dad For Two Goldfish.

Smoke and Mirrors is amazing! Fragile Things isn't as good, but still short stories so XD
Oh, and then you have M is for Magic. A few short stories for children. Haven't read it myself but listened to the audiobook version.

Good Omens is so made of win. Combining Neil and Terry creates magic XD
I really need to re-read it, and this time in English. I read it so very long ago, when my English wasn't good enough to appreciate the book fully you know?

I shall finish Anansi Boys when I'm done with my animal sex book *laugh*

oh also, go here and scroll down til you see a big picture of some people poking on a drowned woman. There you have a little snippet/short story from Who Killed Amanda Palmer ^^(and yeah, that's of course Amanda being all lovely and dead in the stream)

Oh, I love McKean. He also illustrated one of the Dark Tower books so I knew him before I went into the Gaiman frenzy, he's so good. I'll probably get Smoke and Mirrors next time I hit a bookshop -nod- it's not like I can find it in English in a library anyway.

Good Omens is AWESOME. I love the heck out of it. It's some of the best stuff I've read lately, it was such a blast. And ha, considering that Anansi Boys has a lot of animals in the second part it's just the thing to read after a book on animal sex, lol. ;)

And thanks for the link!

Oh, have you seen the movie MirrorMask?
I have meant to eatch it for years but just got aorund to it this week. So beautiful! You can really see that it's McKean who's behind the illustrations and imagery (yeah, it's actualyl a live action movie. But you still see it's his art work). And Neil wrote the story. And the Jim Henson Company was involved in the animations/cgi stuff. They made my absolute favourite tv show of all time. So I seriously don't understand WHY I didn't see the movie until now O.o
