Well, Anansi Boys will be out soon.

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

Good. It's been too long between feasts.

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

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 (eighteen years ago) link

The boy is in town at the moment

Euphemism?

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

WHY TWO MOMENTS? MY BRANE!

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

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 (eighteen years ago) link

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 (eighteen years ago) link

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.

We should form our own rat pack.

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

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

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

WAH.

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

Bloody hell you guys talk too much.

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

is it members only?

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

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 (eighteen years ago) link

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

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 (eighteen years ago) link

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

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 (eighteen years ago) link

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 (eighteen years ago) link

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 (eighteen years ago) link

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 (eighteen years ago) link

mornin!

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

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 (eighteen years ago) link

You'll never need another lighting aid ever again.

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

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

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

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 (eighteen years ago) link

Import tax including GST is $550. Geez.

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

come again? how does that work?

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

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 (eighteen years ago) link

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 (eighteen years ago) link

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 (eighteen years ago) link

Cool, I can live with comparisons to Frank Miller.

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

Full bit I've written here.

― Mike Stuchbery (Mike Stuchbery), Tuesday, 12 July 2005 23:14 (eighteen years ago) link

Pretty cool. I like your writing style.

― Product of Australia / Kate (papa november), Tuesday, 12 July 2005 23:30 (eighteen years ago) link

Yeah, thanks, I'm heartened because that is very rough, straight out of the notebook.

― Mike Stuchbery (Mike Stuchbery), Tuesday, 12 July 2005 23:32 (eighteen years ago) link

Sorry man I'll read it later when I'm feeling less nauseous

― Hotman Paris Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Tuesday, 12 July 2005 23:52 (eighteen years ago) link

Ok Pukey, to bed with you! Go get some Mylanta!

― Mike Stuchbery (Mike Stuchbery), Wednesday, 13 July 2005 00:06 (eighteen years ago) link

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

it's nowhere near as good as the original? though even that only comes in shrinky wee comic size nowadays.
