Just a couple of things

[cleolinda]

Just wanted to pop in and mention a couple of things (new Secret Life of Dolls is thataway):

1. Neil Gaiman's going to be on The Colbert Report tonight, and he said on Twitter that he had a lot of fun, so that seems to have gone well.

2. ALICE ALICE ALICE HE'S GONNA MAKE AN ALICE

To Twitter or Not to Twitter....

The jury is still out on Twitter for me. I always feel as though my posts are so mundane and boring. I mean, who really wants to know that I've tripped over a non-existent piece of lint again? I don't think my Klutzapaloosa are going to thrill too many people. And chasing so-called celebrities just seems a bit strange to me. (Okay, okay....so I'm a snob!)

I got my boyfriend on it and we ended up saying things like "Gee, I miss you...blah, blah, blah" "I've burned dinner again! But who cares?

BTW -- Glad to see you "ecstatic" again Cleo. And how do we get on your brother-in-law's VIP list?

I'm currently reading the bits when Terry and Neil write about each other at the end of Good Omens to get in the mood for tonight's Colbert Report. /big ol' nerd

Allow me to join you in an ALICE ALICE ALICE!!!

Man, I didn't even really get into Neil Gaiman's stuff until about two months ago. But I'm starting to think this wasn't a bad time to start looking into his works -- the man is everywhere lately. There was even a brief interview with him in the paper yesterday, and now he's on Colbert.

Stardust is one of my all-time favorite novels.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Well, he just won the Newbery, which is part of it.

ALICE \o/

[diddakoi.livejournal.com]

I like to think that you had something to do with that. Like, one of Tonner's lowly interns informed him that there's this lady on the internets who writes stories with her dolls, and she really wants an Alice, and the thought amused him, so...

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Heh. If only I had so much power. ; )

[nimlotbradamant.livejournal.com]

My first thought on this entry: Oh, I didn't know Neil Gaiman made dolls...

[bumblebee-1983.livejournal.com]

LOL! Glad I'm not alone in that.

And does anybody else have the problem of people thinking you say Neil Diamond when you say Neil Gaiman's name?

Or am I just pronouncing it totally wrong? It seems that is how I heard him introduced when I met him. ::shrug::

Neil!? On Colbert!?

... Excuse me while I go have a fangirl overload in the corner. XD

[gwynnywonk.livejournal.com]

Iconnnn

SRSLY THOUGH IT WAS AWESOME

[crescent-gaia.livejournal.com]

When they got to LotR, I thought there might be a smackdown coming. Alas, there was not. That's okay with me though.

I was very amused by all of it though.

I think I squee'd when Colbert started to quote Tom Bombadil.

[mercurywater.livejournal.com]

Neil Gaiman is going to be on the Colbert report? What time?
Alice Dollen!!! *squee*

[kelcea.livejournal.com]

Off-topic:
I'm a Vancouverite and at my university, there's a mystery movie filming. I'm excited/terrified that it might be New Moon. So far they've been filming in a modern-looking science lab, but that doesn't really scream Twilight to me.

[mercurywater.livejournal.com]

It sounds like something they might randomly add to me. Maybe they're revisiting the biology class of great romance?
Since they cut it out of the movie...maybe they're adding it to New Moon?

oh my god alice!!!!
*runs round squeeling and runs into the wall*

ALICE! \(^_^)/


crap ...now I have to find $140

[mogumogu.livejournal.com]

Eee, I gotta see that!

Granted, I only started reading his stuff in the last year or two (where has the Sandman BEEN all my life?!), but, you know, love at first read and all that. Already I think he's influencing my storytelling logic.

Oh, by the way, in Twilighty news, at work I saw a cart loaded up with those Director's Notebook things, and I took a peek. I may not be a fan of Twilight, but my inner production geek loves stuff like this! Lots of storyboards, sketches for the whole family, etc... Well, it is put together to look kind of like one of those ComoGirl girlfriend scrapbook things, so I guess it doesn't really go in depth, but it satisfies the production-curious eyes. There's this shot of the trainers with the wolves. Dang, those are huge wolves.

With the way Jack's coat was creasing in that article, I thought he had boobs.
Taylor Lautner's gotten so frighteningly bulky lately, that if they make a doll of him he'll look hilariously skinny without a special sculpt.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that's the one tie-in book I'm legitimately tempted by, because I live for that kind of stuff.

[rhoda-rants.livejournal.com]

AHHH, I WANNA SEE NEIL ON COLBERT!! But I have to work tonight, of course. Hopefully I'll get back in time to catch it, and muster up the chutzpah to wrestle the remote away from my stepdad.

You're welcome. :)

(It doesn't say anything about Neil Gaiman but I know he's there, because it's last night's episode.)

[kinnosuikazura.livejournal.com]

ALICEEEE ALICEEE! Alllliiiiiice!!!!

Between that and the Peter Pan Pullip Dolls (http://community.livejournal.com/pullips/2212840.html) this fall, I need to massively save up money.

I also would like to just say that Colbert and Gaiman going off about Tolkien and Tom Bombadill might possibly be the GEEKEIEST thing I've ever seen. I kinda died of the squee.

[diddakoi.livejournal.com]

I love that Colbert had the song memorized.

[amaz0n-princess.livejournal.com]

Between this, Snow White, & the LOTR dolls... OMG my poor wallet!

[velvet4269.livejournal.com]

Hulu has the clip up (http://www.hulu.com/watch/63035/the-colbert-report-neil-gaiman) for anyone (me) who may have missed it last night.

Go Neil!

[mercurywater.livejournal.com]

Is there anywhere I can get the link to Neil on The Colbert report?

[mercurywater.livejournal.com]

Never mind, I see someone has posted the link.
