ichinichinemasuMy last update for a while, I swear. It's just that this week has been so full.
I just got back from Gaiman. He was amazing! He read a poem and a short story-- the story was called "How to Talk to Girls" in which a boy gets dragged to a party by his popular friend, reluctant to go because he never gets girls. However, they end up at the wrong party and the girls are all aliens. Which doesn't seem to bother him-- girls are just as alien to him as real aliens are.
The best part was probably the Q&A, he was really funny. One question was, "Why did Thor kill himself in a hotel room in Philadelphia?", to which he replied "It's nothing against Philadelphia, I swear!" In another response he was talking about having written a script for a cartoon Ramayana. But the producers told him it ended depressingly, so could he please change it? He explained, it would be like ending a Christian movie with Christ ripping his hand from the cross and becoming a Roman senator. He's also apparently had several calls to make "American Gods" into a movie, and he only answers "How?"
I had "Anansi Boys" signed. He was amazingly nice. I told him I was so excited to meet him, and he responded "No, I'm excited to meet you." Haha, I'm a sucker, but it was sweet. I wish I could have said more to him.
