While I don’t usually make small posts that link to another web site, this time warrants for an exception. Yesterday, while listening to Talk of the Nation on NPR, who should be on but Neil Gaiman, my absolute favorite author. Listening to him speak is simply delightful. (And come on, how many times have I used the phrase “simply delightful” on this blog? I’ve used the word “delightful” before, but not with the “s” word in front of it, so that should tell you something right there.)
If you’ve got about 17 minutes, go ahead and take a listen. And, of course, right around 10 minutes in, you know who is mentioned. Sadly, the tree scene isn’t in the film. Regardless, I’m definitely seeing Stardust this weekend!

simply delightful…
you’re slowly but surely catching the gay bug.
Yay Neil! Fantastic interview, it’s funny hearing his English accent dissolve into Minnehsotah drawl just a bit here and there.
Couldn’t stop there, though. His mood is infectious. Since I’m not seeing Stardust until Sunday, I dragged Snow, Glass, Apples from Two Plays for Voices along with me to work. It seems to have done the trick, insofar as I’m now sufficiently creeped out to avoid Neil topics for the next day and a half.
Beowulf will be fun, too, but not quite the same, especially with Robert “uncanny valley” Zemeckis directing. And I’m definitely bummed that they cut the tree part from Stardust.
