Had a bit of a "Classical Music Workshop" yesterday, aka my dad asked my half-sisters over and we all listened to classical music and chatted about it. Well, mostly they chatted about it. I was trying not to do anything that would potentially anger my uterus, such as: eat, not eat, be too warm, be too cold, sit up straight, lean back, etc. So you ( Read more... )

True facts. today was better, though, so that's good. :)

OH DUDE YOU SO HAVE TO LISTEN TO THAT MUSICAL. OH MAN. Like, seriously, it is one of my favourite musicals and Jason Robert Brown (the writer/composer/whateverer) is just FANTASTIC and.. yes.
No seriously. For me I downloaded the soundtrack, listened to it in passing once or twice and was like "eh that's kind of pretty" and then one day "The Schmuel Song" came on repeat and I LISTENED to it and I was like HOLY CRAP I LVOE THIS. so uh. yes.

And also Neil Gaiman is AMAZING and I highly reccomend Good Omens. I would recommend Coraline but I haven't actually read it. But I hear it's good. XD

I dunno. I guess it's cause I don't even know if they're hiring, so I feel kind of silly going there. Sigh. Anyway, thanks! :D <3

Omg please do, I love it sooo much. It was playing at my college this past semester and I dragged a few of my friends to go see it and they really liked it too. XD

Good Omens is just hilarious. Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett are in my top line of favourite writers. XD

I hope so too! thanks :3

See that's kind of what I figured and while I would, ideally, like to support them I also want to save/gain money so...
but luckily they have like a pricecheck kind of thing so I can check out both half.com AND the bookstore's prices without having to tell a cashier that I have changed my mind. XD

thank you for the info though! :D

I should've read thjs post more carefully. NEIL GAIMAN FTW. I love him. I love The Graveyard Book. Isn't it adorable? And Bod is so cute. And the way Neil says 'Bod' is even cuter.

I have free audiobook versions of.. MOST of his books, if you want. Or go join audiobooks and find them yourself. I think all except American Gods is read by him.

Which of his books have you read?

YESS I'm in the middle of chapter three right now and it is fantaaastic.

oooooooh! I didn't know ther was another audiobook site SO JOINING OMG I LOVE AUDIOBOOKS.

I've read... American Gods, Anansi Boys, Neverwhere, Good Omens (obvs), and a few short stories? I feel like I'm missing something but I can't remember anything else at the moment. The bit of Sandman you sent me once.

Coraline. (Movie soon, dude, read it if you haven't. Or audiobook it. It's short.) Stardust.

There's also the adorable short stories, The Day I Swapped My Dad For Two Goldfish aaaaand The Wolves in the Walls.

We've mentioned all I've read though. The short stories are collected in Fragile Things and Smoke And Mirrors. Fragile Things is an audiobook, SaM is not.

Sandman is amazing. You really should read it. Although, again, kinda hard to if you can't buy it. -- Actually, if you'd be okay reading it onscreen, I can fix that, I think.

I am EXCITED for that movie, but yeah I should audiobook it. STARDUST. I have read that, that was the one I forgot. XD

and I have an audio of Neil reading a few of his stories, so I have listened to the Wolves in the Walls but I think not the other one yet.

Phew. Yeah. I have those on my "want" list on Swaptree. XD

Uhh I'd definitely be ok with reading it on screen. :D
