     And I have no idea where I was going to go with that[ellipsis] especially as I just got incredibly distracted reading said author's blog and clicking upon the links therein, not to mention starting to read Coraline since he linked to it. I also got distracted by this article which he linked in which someone claims that Neil Gaiman is, in fact, Leonard Cohen and people argue amusingly (with NG himself, nonetheless) in the comments as to the correct pronunciation of "Gaiman" (it's Gayman, by the way).
[ellipsis][ellipsis][ellipsis]
     Why was I talking about Neil Gaiman? Not just talking, but going on and on? Sometimes I baffle myself.
SOOOOO I will switch to talking about Neil Gaiman's ugly American equivalent (NOW THAT'S NOT NICE HANNAH HA HA HA) Stephen King. Only not really. I was just wondering:       What constitutes horror? Because every time I mention I like Stephen King, people look at me with big, disapproving eyes and say "Oh, you like horror, do you?" And I have no idea what to reply. Well, I guess I do like horror, if a book about a writer who's kidnapped by a crazed fan is horror, or a story about a surgeon who's stranded on a desert island and ends up becoming a heroin addict (or was it cocaine) and eating himself bit by bit. But is it really? I don't even know if Carrie would be considered horror; if it is, which part makes it horror? The part where people dump pig's blood on her head? The part where she wreaks her vengeance using psychokinetic powers? The part where her crazed mother locks her in the closet? A mystery.
[apropos of nothing, I accidentally turned on a text-to-speech application that is narrating this as I type it--one letter at a time. Since I type a lot faster than Mr. Computer Voice can talk, it's mostly a garbled mess of noises, until I get to a comma or period where I pause to think of what to say next, when I finally hear him saying, "comma", "space", "double quote", "period", etc]
     ANYway, I'm not sure where I was going to go with THAT either, but I guess what I'm trying to say is that I don't really consider Stephen King books to be horror, or at least not the ones I read. I will admit that Pet Sematary was horror (it had zombies), and so was Salem's Lot (vampires) and IT (cannibalistic monster clowns).

     Um. On a totally different note, I got my Astroninja CD. It is beautiful and wonderful and causes me great joy, and I have listened to it at least ten times, most of which were in a row.

Yaaaaaaay.



     I am a bad person[ellipsis] I changed the link to Bobby's myspace[ellipsis] it was mostly the picture I liked. Lol.

     By the way, I am trying to break myself of using excessive ellipses so I thought it would help if I made myself type [ellipsis] instead. I don't think it's going to work, I think it will just make it more annoying. We'll see, we'll see[ellipsis]

BOBBY VS LAMB-IST DOOR:





and no, I don't understand anything he says either.

     *AHEM* So, moving on[ellipsis]

     But--moving on to what? I seem to have nothing more to say. Alas.
     So, to summarize: Neil Gaiman (hot!); Stephen King (not!); and Astroninja (ASTRONOMICAL, YOU KNOW!?!?!?)

   PS
I need to load up some more Terry Pratchett audio books for our trip to Alabama :-3 I don't know which, though...Our Dad has read most of the Vimes Books, which are the main ones worth reading.

   PPS
I love love love audio books. Like, say, those read by a certain British Author who has of course not been mentioned in this post *fingerscrossed* and has a soothing voice which is very nice to go to sleep to, unless of course it is soothingly reading Babycakes (ha ha).

   PPPS
speaking of which, I found a comic version. how disturbing O_O

This is Neil Gaiman:

This is Stephen King:

♫Which one

which one causes her to say "ack"
upon looking at the back cover of the book?
la la la la la la
dum dee dum[ellipsis]♫

//edit//
if you're one of those people who update your facebook status every 25 seconds, please to be considering twitter.com . I want people to follow! I want people to follow me (since I have none so far)! I'm telling you, twitter.com has taken my unhealthy stalkerish Neil Gaiman obsession to whole new levels. Because whenever he updates his twitter, it will send me a text message. And that's cool. Because I can know that he is trying to give his dog a pill as he does it. YAY.
And wow, did I sound like an advertisement or what? Anyway, if you want to try it... my twitter is twitter.com/bishkebab , tofugu has a twitter at twitter.com/tofugu , and of course NG is twitter.com/neilhimself .
