(Actually, it’s not complete, but it’s got about 2/3rds of the cast on it.)

My boyfriend and I went as Delirium & Destiny to a party today - so here’s a photo of me as Delirium in our tiny bathroom. No tub I’m afraid, so this will have to do…
P.S.: You get to see the boyfriend tomorrow!
defyaugury asked: This may be a little forward, but I've been a fan of yours and Amanda's for a long time, before you met each other, and you both seem much happier than you did before- so- I guess I am just happy you two are happy, and the more happiness the better I think.
fauxcyclops asked: Hey Neil, you use song lyrics a lot in your books. Do you pay royalties on those? Particularly in the case of Good Omens which I understand you wrote before you had lots of money.

I don’t know why I didn’t post about this earlier
but
I just remembered the story Amanda Palmer told the crowd at her concert in Chicago.
She got quiet for a sec (after we sang happy birthday to neil) and then looked up and said, “Can I tell you guys something really corny?”
Of course, everyone in the audience scream and hollered yes. Amanda, you can tell us anything.
So she...

A Starred Publishers Weekly Review!
Chu’s Day
Neil Gaiman, illus. by Adam Rex. Harper, $17.99 (32p) ISBN 978-0-06-201781-9
No wolves in the walls or button-eyed parents in this story about a baby panda named Chu. Yet Gaiman builds suspense from the enigmatic opening sentence (“When Chu sneezed, bad things happened”), which frames a portrait of the roly-poly protagonist, decked out in a striped T-shirt, aviator cap, and...

Lush Update
bathbookneil:
Check this out!
Can’t wait to see what happens. :-)
If this happens…
Er, I’m not sure. But it would be amazing.
Lush are wonderful, and about 5 years ago they did a STARDUST bath bomb.
Last Friday Amanda went for a walk with Jason Webley, I went for a walk with my kids. I stopped off at the Cambridge Lush, spent too much money buying things that I know Amanda...

sailorlumpyspaceprincess asked: I work in a book store and we've been awaiting the new edition of Stardust. I've got a couple of intrested customers (people who come in all the time, regulars). Last I read it was supposed to be out last month, at least that was what our customer service website said. Did we just not get it D: Your section in our store is too small for my taste. We need more Gaiman.
suchgreattiming asked: You might not be able to tell us this, but is your next Doctor Who script going to be part of the second half of the series airing this spring, and does it have anything special related to the 50th anniversary of DW? :) Love your work! Thanks for being awesome.
cornixcaeruleus asked: Not related to anything at all, but which way up do you eat toast? With the topping down towards your tongue (so you can taste it more), or the normal way? I was just wondering because I mentioned to people recently that I ate toast the first way and they looked at me like I was crazy.

Faux-candles, chocolate liqueur, a LUSH bubble bar, and The Kindly Ones. Here’s to a day off!
…Why doesn’t LUSH make a special Reading In the Bath bubble bar?
skulkingwriter asked: I can't help but notice that in that astonishingly awesome cast list there doesn't appear to be an obvious Marquis... I can't identify either of the black actors (I presume) from the Christopher Lee photo, are you allowed to give us names?

Last Night
akingamongrunaways:
Yesterday I had the extreme fortune and pleasure of seeing Neil Gaiman, Amanda Palmer, and Anthony Martignetti in Amanda’s hometown of Lexington, MA.
It was a celebration of Anthony’s incredible life and of his memoir, Lunatic Heroes. Despite this, I had bought my ticket to see Neil and Amanda- my idol and his brilliant, brilliant rockstar wife, who have both increasingly...
