Inkwell: Authors and Artists

    <scribbled>
  

    
Reading in Neil's journal about dubious puns followed by a post about
"a houseful of McClouds" makes me think of a Jay London joke.



(slips on NY accent)


They asked twelve actors to show up at the studio dressed like clouds.
 Fourteen showed up and all of a sudden it was overcast.



*They* *asked* *twelve*...

Thank you.



You will never see me again.
  

    
Um, I think Christy just broke my brain. Ouch.

procrastinating on housework - and convinced that there can't be this
much laundry in the house and still have things that are already clean.
  

    
Amber Alert's cancelled.  <124>  Yay!

Love your new pseud, BTW, Mousey.

Hey, Neil -- just tell Holly that you only mentioned Mike's birthday
because it was his 21st.  Yeah, yeah, that's it.

(Well, that's what *I* had thought, anyway, trusting soul that I am.)
  

    
I finally mailed by Fiddler's Green registration stuff last night.
  

    
Was reading through inkwell topic about Dreamhunters and came across a
mention of the Live at the Aladdin VHS.  On a whim, went to google it
and discovered that there is a DVD out called that. BUT, beware, it is
Prince, Live at the Aladdin which they don't always put the 'Prince' in
front of. Wouldn't THAT be terrible. Thinking you've ordered Neil
Gaiman - Live at the Aladdin and it's really Prince. 
  

    
Live at the Aladdin is still available here:

<Wouldn't THAT be terrible. Thinking you've ordered Neil Gaiman - Live

LOL!  I'm trying to picture that.  ("Neil looks different on TV.  And
when did his voice get so high?")

Thanks for the heads-up, Holley, and for the link, Glen.

I definitely recommend that video to anyone who wants to see Neil's
performing chops.
  

    
[sudden distubring vision of Neil making pork chops dance around the
kitchen counters]

Well, they are both Minneapolis area boys. 

notshakespeare - would that be with string? or electricity?

squeaks
thinking that the electricity might make the dance more interesting
and cook it at the same time!
  

    
Honestly - I was thinking of pork chop puppet theatre, like my brother
used to do.  But marionettes would be cool.
  

    
Mr Pork-Chop Punch.

Or would you prefer a Harlequinade in marinade?






This is starting to give me trichonosis.  :P
  

    
uh... (reads it again to make sure she didn't miss something) You're
brother used to do Pork Chop Puppet Theater? What was *your* life like,
growing up?
  

    
Mmmmm... I used to perform puppetry and other circus-like shenanigans at the 
Pork Chop Lounge.  But I never actually played with Pork Chops...
  

    
Well y'know, pork chops, broccoli, the cat - whatever was handy.
  

    
I am really glad that sentence doesn't apply to his cooking.

What a lovely 12th-Anniversary-At-Work present for me!  <g>

Hey Neil -- What's the difference between the (regular) Hardcover and
the Library edition?

And did any of that interview of you by Maddy make it onto the CD?
  

    
As far as I can tell, the difference is about $0.99, but then, what do
I know? I'm still preoccupied with looking for the right gardening
gloves for display on an art project.

who is cooking WAY more food than it's possible for her to eat for 3
meals a day for 10 days at Burning Man - lots of stuff to eat when we
get back, I suppose. :)

I may be tripping on this but...

Did someone way up there mention putting the Journal into some kind of
editable form or something?  I seem to recall...

But may be wrong.

If so, you know, I have it all in Word.
  

    
HOORAY!  The LoC National Book Fest finally wised up and got a
"Science Fiction and Fantasy" pavilion.

and,

HOORAY!!  Appropriately, Neil's helping to christen it!


and what the heck is wine gum?
  

    
Something dreadful English children eat.  A sweet.
