Inkwell: Authors and Artists

    

That's quite a store, Glen!  

Maure, watch the topic list when you come to inkwell.vue.  The topic will 
show up there.
  

    
Well Linda, each time I look up the sales, I realize that it costs
nothing to add every single item they have.  So, I add them randomly. 
Of course no one has ever bought a non-t-shirt item.  But I personly
find the 3 Goldfish clock to be hilarious.
  

    
I think that Coraline's now live -- it's on the front page of the
Well.

Sorry I've been away -- Martha and I have been conversing in the
Coraline topic.

As for boobies and genital piercings, I'm in favour of the former, and
have no problems with the latter unless someone is approaching me with
a piercing device in one hand, a lump of silverware in the other, and
a dangerous gleam in their eyes. 
  

    
Yep! It's live and I just opened the floodgates for non-Martha's to
ask lots of questions.

Just bought a shirt, too... which means that next time Neil does a
signing I'll have to have him sign it.
  

    

Neil's last paragraph would be such a lovely pseud if it weren't so long.
Alas.
  

    
E-mail from Christy Smith:

Kristina re: scribbled post -- What the heck?  Anyway, I tried typing in
the elephant link by hand, and at least this time got redirected to the
poem's new location.  Anyone who had trouble getting to it, try
http://www2.bcinternet.net/~newman/Elephant.htm.  And maybe I'll
reconsider my prior comment about being able to pass for an ant.  ;^P

Homestaw Wunnew:  Isn't that addictive?  AND *hilarious*!  I knew I'd get
at least one person hooked.  <duck> BTW, who's Brak?

Michelle -- "I have no response to that" and "That's all I have to say
about that" -- Tom Hanks gets the best reticent lines!  :)  As if I needed
yet another reason to like the guy (besides his being the probable only
non-A-hole, according to Peter David.  ;)  )

Oooh!  Rocky got a sneak preview of the latest Castle fashions!  :D

Dan -- Hm.  Interesting.  Well, I just know this:  When I was a kid, I
couldn't bear the thought of touching the white of my eye; if I'd tried
it, I would have flinched away and teared up immediately.  Now, after
twenty years of putting contact lenses in and taking them out, I can rest
my fingertip on my eyeball for as long as I can stare without blinking.  
So I'll just take their word for it.  ;)

And people didn't always drink champagne out of flutes!  LOL!

Female plumber-butt... nope, sorry, doesn't sound attractive to me.

Kristina -- Well, then I hope it _is_ a bacterial infection as opposed to
a viral one.  Good luck!

> mixing juice from 2 limes with 2 chopped cloves of garlic and drinking
it is a great sickness preventer.

I would imagine!  It sounds like a great
proximity-to-persons-bearing-germs preventer, and that would help.  :)

Oh, what the heck, throw over the garlic, just drink the rum!  ;)

Erynn -- Hmm, I've never heard of _Lovely and Amazing_.  What's it about?

> I was hoping he'd have something to say about boobies and genital piercings.

Why, yes.  He'd smile sweetly, then continue quietly scanning for direct
questions and CBLDF mentions.  ;)

I am definitely looking forward to the _Coraline_ topic.  As of this
writing, though, it's still a no-show....

I lie!  THERE IT IS!!!  THANKS, LINDA!  :D

Now all I need is for the CBLDF to finish their days-long deliberation
about how to calculate sales tax, and send me my invoice!

Off to the _Coraline_ topic, joined in progress....

Here on Our Side of the Well,
Christy

E-mail from Christy Smith:

Whoa... slipped by just about everyone EXCEPT the hosts.  Well, I'm no
expert in temporal physics, but if causes can follow effects, then I'm
sure a few questions can follow answers.

Neil:  I don't think people will find their way into Inkwell.vue
from the link you put in your journal.  If you change it to:
http://engaged.well.com/engaged/engaged.cgi?c=inkwell.vue

then they'll get much closer to finding the Coraline interview and
this topic.
  

    

If Neil wants a link to the discussion, I have the magic incantation.  But 
I looked at www.neilgaiman.com and didn't see where he'd post anything 
about inkwell.vue...
  

    
Lenny-You might want to post that link on Neil's website message
boards. With all he's doing right now- am not sure he'll get to pop in
here as frequently. I agree though. I had a rough time navigating my
first time here- and I'd like to see everyone get a chance to read the
interview. I think it's going to be an interesting one. ^_^

boobies and genital piercings. And we are all here for our love of
literariness. (yes- i just made that word up!^_~) what is the world
coming to. *snarfle

Well- heading off for another loooooooong weekend on the morrow. sleep
tight all.

I put just a like to thewell.com as we're plugged on that front page
-- maybe I should put up http://www.well.com/conf/inkwell.vue/ which
gives some background on inkwell.vue and links in...?
  

    

I e-mailed you a link directly to your topic, too.  If you want to go to 
the front page of inkwell, use

Erynn - I have a way to cure your male friends of chick flick phobia,
make them watch "Girlfight."  That movie will definitely make 'em
reassess the bad attitude.  ;>   

Madman - He has a way with zee words, no?  

And thank you all for reminding me to wait until November [my
birthday!] to purchase the LOTR DVD. 
  

    
I have a new television addiction, and it's all due to Tara.
Previously, the television was just a tool necessary to the proper
usage of the VCR and DVD player. Now it is the purveyor of a form of
crack known as "Farscape" on the street. Bad Tara. Wicked Tara.

Neil's journal seems to be down again, unless it is just me.

But the Coraline topic is up, hooray hooray.
  

    
Yup - the journal's down, although the archives are working just fine,
I found, so you can read the journal at
http://www.neilgaiman.com/journal_archives/2002_08_01_archive.asp
  

    
nope that one's down now too. =(
I think puuting in the inkwell link is a great idea Neil. There's
really a lot to offer around here. ^_^

Brak is a character from Space Ghost on (or at least was) cartoon
network.

good day and happy interviewing!

Linda - Guess what came in the mail today?  And they're even better
than I imagined!  Thank you.  And by the way, the link to your site was
requested by several people in my office, so hopefully there is more
business coming you way.  ;)

Rocky..always happy to share.
  

    

Rocky, I am so happy to hear it.  And, I've already had an e-mail from 
Dolores!
  

    
E-mail from JaNell:

The 2002 Bead Artists Against Breast Cancer Charity Auction is underway, 
and the handmade fused glass bead I made & donated to it is in the que 
to be auctioned off next week.
The main auction page is at 
http://www.dabeadbabe.com/cgi-bin/webc.exe/Auction_Info.html?sid=2vxGua0WX2kLE
5U-12102070480.15

And isn't Linda's site wonderful? It makes me excited about eventually 
getting my own store online.
JaNell
  

    

Thanks, JaNell!  And good for you, donating to the auction!  That's a very 
good thing.
  

    
I just have to say that I saw a band called Janah last night & they
ROCK.  Go check out their website at www.janah.org .  Buy the CD.
Listen to the MP3s, particularly 
Leavened Heart.  And buy the CD.

They are also very nice people.  Go see them when they play your town.
 You will not regret it.  Did I mention that you should buy the CD? 
;-)

And if Neil's blog is not fixed soon, I'm gonna need some Nicorest or
something.  I am so jonesing. 
  

    
Mary -- well, I'm still making the entries. I think it just has to
wait until the authorsontheweb people get to work tomorrow morning.

Tonight I watched the Perseids...
  

    
I saw Dar Williams last night.  When she was signing my CD she read my
shirt. "These are not my scary trousers".  She laughed and said she
loved it.

However, she had no idea who Neil was.

Dar Williams is great!  Did you give her enough info to get started on her 
path to learn about Neil?
