Hey, Deb knows Neil Gaiman.
Well, it's just good to know that when the chips are down and things look grim you'll feed off the girl who loves you to save your own ass!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Jilli as well, right?
Isn't it more important to note that Neil Gaiman knows Jilli than the other way around?
SA's met him too.
Sounds like a good mix to me, sarameg.

I went to his hotel room once, does that count? Not with him or anything. My best friend from junior high was helping him out at a con and we went up to get something.
Didn't have any real interaction with him -- I had no opinion about Scotch to relate, so I stayed on the other end of the conversation pool. Talking about computer science, probably. As one does.
ETA: So I guess one could say I definitely don't know him. But I guess he's about a half-degree away, Kevin-Bacon-wise.

I think Deb knows him in a literary sense, which was why the connection came to mind. Exploit all angles, say I. I wish I had a better angle other than the crazy bookstore-owning cousin.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Playlists! I have an on topic query.
I want to make up a playlist that contains songs by Neko Case, Julee Cruise and Bjork. I'm not entirely sure how to explain why I think they go together. Does anyone have recommendations for other artists to include? I'll also take suggestions for what the playlist name.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I have no suggestions. I'm like Sarameg with regard to the playlists. The closest thing I have to a playlist right now is "songs for the drive home from work that probably won't make me any more cranky than I already am because of the stupid drivers."

Now tagless for your comfort.
My playlists are including "Itsy Bitsy Spider" as of late, so I'm no help.
Owen woke up at Gronk o'clock in the am so I'm on my second cup of coffee. Good thing we've got Entenmann's for breakfast.
It's a snow day for most of the city already--most of the schools are closed and we've only got about 3 inches so far. DH had to trek up to the NW side of town (where the worst of the weather is) for training. I was sort of hoping it would be cancelled.

Oh my god the drilling. Literally in the floor under my feet. SO LOUD.
The Dillo was up every hour and a half all night, too congested to sleep. It's one of those days when he's right on the edge to send to day care; I say send him, but mr. flea may change his mind and call me to come home at any time.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
girls' names or the names of cities
Of course, in MA, you can have both. Lynn! Sharon! I forget what else, but there are a lot of them.
