Ha! Yes, the royal "we." Today is a real grab-bag.

1. Yeterday, Neil Gaiman linked to 'Wired' Magazine's six word short short story collection in which they asked many different writers for submissions...the collection is fascinating!

2. The slightly absurd: Wanna watch alien tv?3. I was reading some Japanese poetry this morning. Which always ( Read more... )

Thanks for letting me know - I fixed the first link, which was a transposed letter in the coding. *rolls eyes at self*

Glad you like the picspam! I thought he was sooo adorable. :D

Yes, the poetry that I was reading this morning, for the most part, was all rather angsty and melancholic, but so beautiful and evocative.

You're welcome!

I was just curious because I remember Neil Gaiman since he wrote something with my all time favorite writer Terry Pratchett once I think.... and I am glad I took a look at those they were soooo funny *well all but one... *
thanks for sharing!!!*again*

Heh, you like my Dumbledore? I can never get rid of him, because I need him for the moments when I do something stupid. *grin*

What you remember is Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett's Good Omens. I've read most of Neil's work and none of Terry's, so I really need to crack open Good Omens. I've had a copy sitting around for years. And I really need to read Pratchett's work as well - yet another author on my very, very long reading list. I will die before I read all the books I want to read. ;)

Neil Gaiman reccs...

Hmm. For starters, listen to these lovely audio plays made of two of his short stories, "Snow Glass Apples" and "Murder Mysteries" = they can both be found here. You may have to scroll a bit through the menus to find them, but they're totally worth it.

Books? Well, I started with his Sandman comic series, which is still my favorite thing of his, but I also love Neverwhere and American Gods. Neverwhere is a pretty fast read and if you know anything about London, it's fabulous to see how he's made fantasy of reality in so many ways.
