Hee! There's a book about Goldie?
Sorry, Tep. I've hijacked the thread.
We didn't have sex, if that's what you mean. That's all I do now, not have sex.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
God, that made me search eBay for a Goldie plush figure and find out that bidding on one ended yesterday.
Am sad.
Will search more.

Madame, what you said to her was "squid", not "good morning".
Oy, sorry, I got caught up in the Sandman posts.
There's a book about Goldie?
Yes, and it's excellent! Some of the best graphics in Sandman too.

Both of the Death books come after Sandman, don't they?

"When I look at people that I would like to feel have been a mentor or an inspiring kind of archetype of what I'd love to see my career eventually be mentioned as a footnote for in the same paragraph, it would be, like, Bowie." ~Trent Reznor
Yes, but there's nothing in them that spoils anything after "A Game of You."

That story made me pick up the pencils for the first time in yonks and draw a few pictures (of Goldie)--which admission makes me feel like a sappy sheep.

"Time of your life" follows "The high cost of living", but I forget if the characters' story preceeds or intercuts with the one in Sandman.
eta: ok, Mr. Broom. So, advise to read them after "The game of you".

Oh, oh, and I must say: CHEER UP, EMO ENDLESS. "I've got this key I don't want, and it's causing me so much paaaaaain. I'm going to wear my black clothes and sit in the dark and broooooood."
(Dream isn't emo, he's goth, dammit. Or is that just my age showing, and emo is the new goth?)
There are parts of A Game of You that I love beyond all reason, including the part about how little girls dream that their lives aren't their lives and their parents aren't really their parents; they're lost princesses waiting to go back to their magical lands. (I'm paraphrasing, of course, and probably somewhat badly.)

Shush, you. I'll be over here with my talking animals. Did I mention that I'm going to be a fairy-witch-princess when I grow up?

Nope, musta missed that one. Oh wait, there was that one time...
