He's good friends with Tori Amos I hear.

― Product of Australia / Kate (papa november), Tuesday, 12 July 2005 05:48 (twenty years ago)

She was good once.

― Hotman Paris Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Tuesday, 12 July 2005 05:49 (twenty years ago)

We agree on Good Omens. I've yet to read Stardust. Yeah, Neverwhere was good. I'm going to read Coraline to my kids.

― Mike Stuchbery (Mike Stuchbery), Tuesday, 12 July 2005 05:50 (twenty years ago)

I'm warming to her. Cait loves her.

Yeah, the man can build a world - that's what I'd like to take from him.

― Mike Stuchbery (Mike Stuchbery), Tuesday, 12 July 2005 05:51 (twenty years ago)

Me too. He's got the knack for black comedy in fantasy. More please.

― Hotman Paris Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Tuesday, 12 July 2005 05:54 (twenty years ago)

Well, Anansi Boys will be out soon.

― Mike Stuchbery (Mike Stuchbery), Tuesday, 12 July 2005 05:56 (twenty years ago)

Good. It's been too long between feasts.

― Hotman Paris Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Tuesday, 12 July 2005 05:58 (twenty years ago)

The boy is in town at the moment, but I am disastrously poor at the moment.

― Mike Stuchbery (Mike Stuchbery), Tuesday, 12 July 2005 06:00 (twenty years ago)

The boy is in town at the moment

Euphemism?

― Hotman Paris Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Tuesday, 12 July 2005 06:00 (twenty years ago)

WHY TWO MOMENTS? MY BRANE!

Neil Gaiman's shortly to arrive in Australia, I believe.

― Mike Stuchbery (Mike Stuchbery), Tuesday, 12 July 2005 06:01 (twenty years ago)

He'll be doing a signing at the State Library on the 18th. I've yet to book. If I'm at work, I might get Cait to take along all 10 Sandman books.

― Mike Stuchbery (Mike Stuchbery), Tuesday, 12 July 2005 06:02 (twenty years ago)

I've got a book of Sandman short stories. He didn't write them.

― Hotman Paris Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Tuesday, 12 July 2005 06:04 (twenty years ago)

Heh, I wish I was so successful people would write stories about my characters.

One day, one day.

When I'm well famous on the nerd geek comic lit circuit, there will be a FAP in every ILXor's town I pass through.

― Mike Stuchbery (Mike Stuchbery), Tuesday, 12 July 2005 06:08 (twenty years ago)

We should form our own rat pack.

― Hotman Paris Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Tuesday, 12 July 2005 06:08 (twenty years ago)

Well, if you left the safety of your cave...

― Mike Stuchbery (Mike Stuchbery), Tuesday, 12 July 2005 06:10 (twenty years ago)

WAH.

― Hotman Paris Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Tuesday, 12 July 2005 06:10 (twenty years ago)

Bloody hell you guys talk too much.

― Trayce (trayce), Tuesday, 12 July 2005 06:10 (twenty years ago)

― shine headlights on me (electricsound), Tuesday, 12 July 2005 06:29 (twenty years ago)

If it's to be a rat pack, Jim, we need someone with musical talent, so yes, you're required. Suit up.

― Mike Stuchbery (Mike Stuchbery), Tuesday, 12 July 2005 06:33 (twenty years ago)

― there are twelve people in the world the rest are haitch (haitch), Tuesday, 12 July 2005 06:37 (twenty years ago)

― there are twelve people in the world the rest are haitch (haitch), Tuesday, 12 July 2005 10:25 (twenty years ago)

Maybe its hers! ;P I dont let anyone have mine ;) Which I will also bring if we fap, and inevitably take crappy unflattering pics of everyone like I always manage to :-/

― Trayce (trayce), Tuesday, 12 July 2005 11:17 (twenty years ago)

I've just ordered one yesterday. 7.1 mp!! that has to make people look good, surely.

― there are twelve people in the world the rest are haitch (haitch), Tuesday, 12 July 2005 11:29 (twenty years ago)

Working on the first chapter. Our hero is getting headhunted by the runty little bastard who has served as Melbourne's own superhero since the middle o the nineteenth century...

Eventually, I got given jobs to do. I would wake up to find some weeping dearly departed, throat dripping with blood directing me to some hovel where I’d beat the drunken bastard who’d slashed her throat half to death before he could manage to get rid of the body. Creatures and spirits who had stowed away along with immigrants on ships to the new colony came to me seeking protection. I’d have to settle turf wars between leprechauns and the servants of the Jade Emperor.

I began to realise that the city came under attack every day. Ever had a whore, lad?

I shake my head, still trying to verbalise.

You don’t know what you’re missing. The whores of a city are like the canaries they used to take down a mine. When they start disappearing or turning up in pieces at the bottom of a rubbish pit, it’s time to go looking for the right arse to kick.

― Mike Stuchbery (Mike Stuchbery), Tuesday, 12 July 2005 13:21 (twenty years ago)

That has a rather Frank Milleresque feel, if you dont mind me saying so, that the idea?

― Trayce (trayce), Tuesday, 12 July 2005 14:49 (twenty years ago)

I've just ordered one yesterday. 7.1 mp!! that has to make people look good, surely.

I tell you what, you think the extra megapixels won't make a difference, but going from a 2.2MP to an 8.0 has made all the difference to my photos.

― Product of Australia / Kate (papa november), Tuesday, 12 July 2005 20:09 (twenty years ago)

Oh, dear me. I forgot to say good morning! Happy Wednesday Mongrels, life just keeps rolling on.

― Product of Australia / Kate (papa november), Tuesday, 12 July 2005 20:18 (twenty years ago)

mornin!

― moley, Tuesday, 12 July 2005 20:40 (twenty years ago)

That's tops Frank. I mean Mikey.

don't buy the prose-only Stardust Mikey!

What's wrong with the prose-only version? :(

if she'll let you?!?

It's hers too, she doesn't want me getting pissed and dunking it in beer.

Ahhhhh, gaze upon the loveliness. I think this is the lighting kit I am going to buy.

― Product of Australia / Kate (papa november), Tuesday, 12 July 2005 21:37 (twenty years ago)

You'll never need another lighting aid ever again.

― Hotman Paris Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Tuesday, 12 July 2005 21:38 (twenty years ago)

I feel rather sick. I am going to lie down.

― Hotman Paris Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Tuesday, 12 July 2005 21:38 (twenty years ago)

Now I just have to figure out what the import tax is going to be. Yuck.

― Product of Australia / Kate (papa november), Tuesday, 12 July 2005 21:41 (twenty years ago)

Import tax including GST is $550. Geez.

― Product of Australia / Kate (papa november), Tuesday, 12 July 2005 22:20 (twenty years ago)

come again? how does that work?

― shine headlights on me (electricsound), Tuesday, 12 July 2005 22:24 (twenty years ago)

I'm ordering it from an American company (Alienbees.com). Lights are AUD$2770. Import tax and GST is $550.

― Product of Australia / Kate (papa november), Tuesday, 12 July 2005 22:28 (twenty years ago)

oh ok i didn't realise how expensive the lights were. that makes more sense now.

― shine headlights on me (electricsound), Tuesday, 12 July 2005 22:29 (twenty years ago)

Yeah, photographic lighting is terribly expensive. It's because they are designed to give a nice white light, whereas cheaper options are all yellowish and I am beyond sick of colour correcting every single photo I take.

― Product of Australia / Kate (papa november), Tuesday, 12 July 2005 22:33 (twenty years ago)

Cool, I can live with comparisons to Frank Miller.

― Mike Stuchbery (Mike Stuchbery), Tuesday, 12 July 2005 23:13 (twenty years ago)

Full bit I've written here.
