aspectabund.livejournal.comSo here I am again, haven't posted here in a bit, and what have I got to say? Something off-topic. Gosh.
Anyway. I have an RSS feed, and it is currently hooked up to three things: the BBC, the well-drawn and witty comics that pop up at Three Panel Soul, and Neil Gaiman's journal. I also have John Green and his brother Hank's joint youtube blog subscribed to on my youtube account, despite not yet having read any of his books. Mr. Green is both dorky and funny, and this pleases me.
It occurred to me this morning, at the unhealthily early hour of 9 o'clock, that these cannot possibly be the only authors with blogs of some sort. The very idea is plain silly. I mean, it would be nice if mwt had a blog, since she comments anonymously on here all the time anyway (HINTHINT), but I suppose I shall have to make do with others'.
I know at least that Mr. Gaiman's blog is lots of fun, probably because he knows more interesting people than me and goes more places so that people can make him sign books. His is hooked up to his website, and he often answers emails in them. A couple of my favourite journals he's made since I started having him hooked up to my RSS feed would include: how to tell your friend you really, really hate his book and other ethical problems of today,what you can't help doing, and soon enough a cat post, I promise...
You learn lots of fun things from blogs. I now know that Mr. Gaiman has a white German sheperd that he acquired at the side of the road; I learned that said dog wacked him in the nose with a pipe and that's why he had a black eye in interviews for about two weeks; that he keeps bees; that he has an unhealthy addiction to black tee shirts; that everyone is convinced that he's writing a Doctor Who episode even though it was really only something he'd talked about with the Doctor Who producer person; that he happened upon a lolcat version of one of his poems and liked it better than his version; that he appreciates his characters drawn as pieces of toast; that he is, for all his imaginative ideas and apparent interest in writing detailed sex scenes, a cheerful Brit-turned-American who likes cats and comic books and has silly hair.
All in all, I want more author's blogs. Give them to me. Now. >8D
