It's like any other day. Gotta act like nothing happened.- July 10, 2008 Webgoblin here, daring to intrude just long enough to say that I am about to migrate the Journal from a Blogger Classic template to a Blogger no-longer-so-Beta layout. During that time it will go through some drastic design changes before returning to the familiar look-and-feel.Hopefully no one will notice.Pay it no mind.I was not here. We never had this conversation.UPDATE: Everything appears to have worked. If you discover any problems or issues with the Journal, please report them to me.http://journal.neilgaiman.com/2008/07/its-like-any-other-day-gotta-act-like.html Hellboy 2 - The Golden Army...- July 10, 2008 Back from Brazil -- a bit under the weather, with a blogpost from 4.00am still unfinished -- so here, to celebrate the release of Hellboy 2 (http:www.hellboymovie.com), are a few photos from my trips to Budapest that never got posted...Selma Blair asleep by a rock.Selma awake and pretending to be a book cover.Guillermo Del Toro, probably over a hasty Hungarian lunch.And finally, me, in need of a haircut, hanging out with an elf-prince and an elf-princess (Luke Goss and Anna Walton)...Now, go...http://journal.neilgaiman.com/2008/07/hellboy-2-golden-army.html Then, tomorrow was another day...- July 7, 2008 Yesterday I did a panel with Richard Price, and then I signed for (according to the newspapers)about six hundred people for five and a half hours. Normally I try very hard to be as nice to the people who've been waiting for hours as I was to the people at the beginning, but I think I may have been ordering the people at the back of the line around a bit just to make sure I finished before the Tom Stoppard talk started at seven. (I finished with 25 minutes to spare.)The crowd was lovely, and all.http://journal.neilgaiman.com/2008/07/then-tomorrow-was-another-day.html With still a million things to say...- July 4, 2008 Today the Arcadian idyll turned into something an awful lot more like work. TV interviews all morning, press conference all afternoon. Oh well.Neil,I'm in Campinas-Brasil, and it's a 5-hours-car trip to Paraty. If I get there, most likely on Saturday, where can I find you since I don't have a ticket to Flip I really, REALLY would love to have you sign one of books. I, like many in this sunny country am a major fan of yours. I REALLY love your books! And I'm dying to get my hands on Graveyard...http://journal.neilgaiman.com/2008/07/with-still-milion-things-to-say.html The morning found me miles away...- July 3, 2008 Still in Brazil. Still with Miss Maddy. Still having a lovely time.Bought lots of books in the Paraty Festival bookshop today -- and saw many beautiful Brazilian editions of my stuff I hadn't seen before.My favourite article read on the plane, incidentally, was the wonderful The Magic Olympics -- with tricks explained! by Alex Stone, in Harpers, which you can read online at: http:harpers.orgarchive2008070082095 (my second favourite was the Gopnik article on Chesterton in the New Yorker, but...http://journal.neilgaiman.com/2008/07/morning-found-me-miles-away.html Now, when twilight dims the sky above...- July 1, 2008 Maddy and I are now in Brazil. We got to the airport in Sao Paulo where the driver and Tom Stoppard were waiting, and then we drove down to Paraty. (At no point did I say to Tom Stoppard, "Funny old world innit You wrote a film called Brazil, and now we're here." Tom Stoppard is, I discovered, who I want to be when I grow up. I did, however, tell him how much I liked his Waterstones story card.)Anyway. All is good. We went off on a boat to an island and had a very late lunch, or a very early...http://journal.neilgaiman.com/2008/07/now-when-twilight-dims-sky-above.html |
