My Holiday Haul

Posted on

Delightedly this past Saturday, the 4th day of Channukah, 5768, I was given gifts, which, upon further reflection after many minutes of glee, seem to be items one would attribute to a geeky 15 year old. I don’t even care – they are so friggen cool.
Star Wars: A Pop-Up Guide to the Galaxy is flat out ridiculous in its intricacies – please find a store and find this book. If you have to buy it to see inside, do it. You will not be disappointed. Another book I was given, The Sandman: Endless Nights by Neil Gaiman, is a great collection by one of the best authors out there and Super Mario Galaxy has been named “The greatest Nintendo platformer ever made.” Oh yeah, I also got an outdoor fleece perfect for running, skiing or dog walking and a really nice dinner out at a seafood place on Long Island (cue “The Downeaster Alexa”).
Yup, I’m a geek (among other things) but the people around me seem also to know me best. Thanks all. ‘Nuff said.

Just in time for the end of October dress-up day, here is some news related to two of the best comic book artists currently on the scene, Neil Gaiman and Alex Ross. Both are incredible in their own ways, one with words that paint lurid pictures, the other with pictures that defy words.

View the Slashdot post, which links to all sorts of goodies about our favorite Sandman creator Mr. Neil Gaiman here.
