Tea For Two
Two fun links discovered this weekend:the first courtesy of the BBC - http://www.bbc.co.uk/mediaselector/check/doctorwho/ram/2006_preview?size=16x9&bgc=CC0000&nbram=1&bbram=1&nbwm=1&bbwm=1
It's the latest Doctor! I wish I was in England, where all the cool kids make TV shows.
And from Alan Laidlaw, my architect friend, http://www.wholphindvd.com/ A new kind of magazine, and you HAVE to watch the trailer. Because I said so, that's why.
Finished Anansi Boys by Neil Gaiman - much better than I thought it was going to be.
I-L-L-I-N-O-I-S Ring the bell and call or write us....
We are awakened with the axe
Night of the living dead at last
The have begun to shake the dirt
Wiping their shoulders from the earth...
Illinois has a zombie problem...away the Undead Response Team!
Sufjan Stevens is a GENIUS. And 3 posts in one day is a record for the MobileChelonian. Fly my pretties, fly...

When I clicked the "Wholphin" link and watched the trailer... somewhere around the 2 minute point the stream got interrupted. So I saw a nuclear explosion, heard "and then they were all dead", saw a black screen, then Quicktime saying "disconnected"
That was pretty neat.
But I am (unfortunately) intrugued.
Why did you have low expectations for Anansi Boys?

That's just cool!
Low expectations isn't the right expression perhaps: I found the book hard to get into at first because it seemed like such a rehash of Neverwhere. I have a low tolerance for situational comedy, which is rather what it was looking like the book was going to be for the first several chapters. Fortunately, a plot intervened, and the book was saved. Yay!
