Some Words

While floating around the net the other day I noticed that the alma mater had started listing faculty and alumni blogs. That lead to finding that Ruth Curry, who I had a class or two with has a blog. This post put a smile on my face. It reminded me of a story Neil Gaiman tells from time to time. In the story he’s getting a photo taken for a book cover and the photographer asks him how he’d like to look. I believe he says, “surprisingly fuckable for an author,” in the story.

And then there is this sendup of Deadwoo dthat I got via Boing Boing.

Very nice. You could probably do a speed Deadwood and cut an episode down to five or ten minutes. I love it anyway. Hell I love it because it uses language the way it does.
