and yes, I do quite a few things Neil tells me to. I often pick up books in the bookstore, and eye them speculatively, wondering if they're worth the money. Then, on the cover, I will see, as if by magic, a quote from Neil Gaiman recommending it, and I start digging to see if I have exact change.
It's one of the reasons I bought "Sunshine" by Robin McKinley, which is my reigning favorite novel and has been for the last two or three years.
So because Neil told me to, I'm linking to his blog here:

Which talks about National Gorilla Suit Day, mostly.
Wedding progress is actually happening, slowly, because I'm stressed and don't quite know where to start.
John, however is wonderful, and talked me out of a complete panic the other night, then spent last night going over a possible song list for our reception with me. My parents are going to have a fit, and several other eyebrows will probably try to crawl off of their owners foreheads, but I think it's more important that WE like the music playing and that it means something to us.
Although I may be vetoing a few of John's choices (and vice versa, I'm sure), because the man has no concept of "Wedding Music."
Also, I want to kick his ex for choosing one of my favorite songs for their wedding dance, which thereby negates it as a possibility for mine. I intend to wear steel toed shoes, when I do the kicking. Not fair. (Although considering the movie it comes from, I should probably stop complaining about life not being fair.)
Speaking of: it is a hideous morning, with rain and thunder and lighting and tornadoes. Mother nature isn't happy...
but at least she washed my car.
