Hey! Are you an agent/publisher looking for a non-predatory, no-skeletons-having,vaguely charming Neil-Gaiman-esque author who looks like me to discover & promote, now that he has imploded?
If nominated, I WILL serve, if elected, I WILL run. Sitting on finished manuscripts.
worth a shot, right?
Joan Jett at Hartford with the kids. The demographic is "people my age here with their kids." Except they're all, like, bald and grey and impossibly old. What gives?!
Joan Jett, however is ageless and kickass and badass and looks and sounds amazing.
my daughter asked me what eats spiders and I said, "birds, most likely" and she asked "what kind of birds" so I googled and as it turns out, I have all the maturity of an 8th grade boy, as I was reduced to helpless giggles by this:
"Heard joke once: Man goes to doctor. Says he's depressed. Says life seems harsh and cruel. Says he feels all alone in a threatening world where what lies ahead is vague and uncertain. Doctor says, "Treatment is simple. Great poster Neil Gaiman is on Bluesky. Go and see him..."
What's sad is that in my gut, I always suspected but enjoyed the comfortable "but my gut may be wrong, and when I love his work or take on something, I really do."
But yeah.A conversation from 3 years ago.People always doubt my Mammy Yokum "ah has spoken" declarations, but they're so often correct
1989, with my cousins and Cain/Mordred-like evil half-brother. I, of course, am in the Norm Breyfogle Batman shirt.
Later on, Norm would become a good friend and I miss him a lot.
So much of my love for the movies is just chasing the dragon of the pulse-pounding, palm-sweaty fear & exhilaration 8 year me felt in the 3rd row of the theater in 1981, as this Medusa came on the screen.
Harryhausen was an artist and a wizard.
@neilhimself.neilgaiman.com I got the SWAMP THING omnibus for Father's Day & was warmed to find that I'm not the only one who finds the "filler" issue of POG to be the favorite. My dad instilled a love of & for Walt Kelly in me; Moore loving him too makes me feel like we're all on the right track.
