SNERK (bet you wouldn't say that to Miss Harkness....)

I wouldn't dare!

American Gods RULES. I haven't read Neverwhere yet.

Neverwhere is very cute; not a thrilling blockbuster like American Gods, but cute. I'd almost recommend watching the video instead, though - it has that charming microbudget BBC look, and it's now out on DVD.

Speaking of American Gods, and while I'm wearing my influences on my sleeve... is it just me, or is that book a little reminiscent of early Tim Powers? I'm thinking specifically of Last Call...

Most guys I know seem to find Sandman a little precious, I d'know why

Huh, curious. I'm trying to remember when I started getting a little impatient with it; I know I thought the early issues were nice and spooky, and I have fond memories of stories like A Doll's House and The Kindly Ones. I suspect that it was Dream's family that put me off - those colorful, quippy Incarnations, a perfect little Goth pantheon of irrelevant layabouts. (At least Death works for a living, so to speak.)

Say what you will about Gaiman's prose style (aHEM), one of the things I loved best about Sandman was how he gathered all kinds of mythologies and stories and styles together....like a lot of the underpinnings of "Bad Trip," maybe! hehehe.

Yeah, you've probably got me there. I always did have a fondness for mythology, though...

I LOVE that movie. I cannot convey to you how violently I LOVE that movie.

I cannot convey to you how totally unshocked I am by this information. After all, you're a Dennis Potter fan, are you not?

Okay, now you have to help me persuade the Hookster to go see it. :-)

ME: Look at Frodo! (Elijah Wood)

Yeah, same here. I was, like, "Butt out, Frodo!" Followed by "Man, Kirsten Dunst looks like a Martian. But Kate Winslet is Teh Hawt!"

But WHEN? You TEASE!

Uh, when I stop procrastinating and get back to work on the final three pics. But first I have to check some costume details from this one Angel episode...
