Another of my letters to Neil Gaiman was posted and responded to on his blog. Hee!
more on introductions and contradictions
That’s the second one, I think. I’ve also gotten a few emails from him directly. I really need to make it to one of his signings someday!
Still reading Burroughs’ Martian Tales Trilogy. It is fantastic. I’ve […]

I am […]

Finished it.
Opinions can be gotten via email/IM.

I totally missed the impending release of the sequel to Nochoi Dozor (Night Watch) - Day Watch.

I have the Night Watch & Day Watch books at home, too.. I gotta get reading! At this point, probably not until after the movie, but that’s okay.
