Time for the Neil Gaiman episode!

( Spoilers for The Doctor's Wife )

I am home and I am clean. Slight delays on the way back, but nothing like the way down. Sleeping on the train wound up working out fairly nicely. We were in two seats that were facing another set of seats. The people who were sitting in the other sets went... somewhere. Probably because you can't really use the footrest in that setup. Once we ( Read more... )

You know what's dangerous? Coupons for 20% off one book if your total purchase is $35 or more. So naturally I couldn't JUST buy The Graveyard Book, since it was only $19.50 before taxes. Had to find another $15.50 in books! I considered Millenium Falcon, but I think I'll probably wait for the paperback on that one. It looks like it could be fun, ( Read more... )

Neil Gaiman used the word "slashiest".

That is like the greatest thing ever. :p

Specifically he called this "the slashiest cover of Good Omens I've seen to date."

It is pretty darn slashy. :p

This is why his fanbase is so crazy. He ENCOURAGES us. :p

I do it because I've never managed to keep a diary, and because it's amazingly useful being able to search the blog and find out when I was last in Finland (say).Because... I totally do that too. Minus the Finland. But ( Read more... )

Katikabe! Did you know there's a new Gaiman geek book? The Neil Gaiman Reader, full of essays. I've only flipped through it so far, but it looks fun. There's more Joseph Campbell stuff, and an interview I hadn't seen before. Which included this gem:

I thought she was going to be a lot colder. I thought she was going to be a much chillier, ice ( Read more... )

So, 3:45? SO not a good wakeup time. It's more like a go to sleep time. But that's when I had to get up today to make it to the 4:45 meet time to go count the Zellers in Saint John. Everyone was in agreement that it was an unholy hour. Tomorrow's meet time is 5:45, which is likewise unpleasant ( Read more... )

So, just when you thought you were getting over pedophile!Wash at the beginning of the months, Desperate Housewives decides it wants in on the creeping outness. The creepy pedophile neighbor? Is named Art WASHBURN ( Read more... )

Took a stroll down to the used book shop today. There were PRETTY SHINIES! They had all of Sandman (not much difference to me since I have it, but shiny all the same) They also had the Books of Magic miniseries (More Gaimany goodness!), which I had been curious about for a while. Everything was in really good condition, you can hardly tell it's ( Read more... )

SO, I totally have a new favorite planet in the GFFA.
