Way Weird

So I woke up this morning dreaming that Miss Piggy was getting sworn in as President of the United States of America, being the first to break both the gender and the species barrier.
... O_o ....

Then went to one of the closer libaries in the area and discovered that they have a graphic novels section. Read the first 3 books of Sandman by Neil Gaiman, and graphic novel versions of Mort and The Light Fantastic by Terry Prachett. Kinda disturbed at how different Ysabell, Death's Daughter appears in both of them. (Ysabet, is that how you decided on your name? ~_^ )

Dude... Terry Prachett and Neil Gaiman is a way tripped out combination to get mixed up in your head... For one thing, there's 2 Deaths floating around now and they BOTH have senses of humour. o_o

Am going to have to start looking up books on puppetry soon, starting to try to design Diskworld cotumes and dammit, all of our mental costume designs lately have been giant puppets operated on the inside.
damn cool tho.

Yup-- I bought the Sandman series as the comics came out; I'm a fan from waaaay back of NG's stuff. The leather ties gave me the major shivers and a few uneasy thoughts about past surgeries. Erk.

Still not too sure about the fingerprints thing, though; I suppose, since cowhide does show lots of wrinkles and tiny ridges, it IS a possibility that fingerprints would keep. I suspect they'd be rather blurred, though. Hmmmmmm... Dunno if it's a DC kind of plot, though-- maybe this is one I ought to consider for those fledgling non-fanfic thingies I keep outlining. Had a funny thought about doing a Kindaichi storyline, though, with a victim that was dying slowly of poisoning. It wouldn't be murder until the victim was dead, and Kindaichi would be able to question somebody who would be a corpse by the time the story ended, which would be a very weird thing, especially if the victim was *aware* of this. Huh..... Wonder how a DC/Kindaichi crossover would work?

And lunch was good! Leftover beef stew, mmmmmm...

Someone had an unfinished DC/Kindachi fic on the old Animeforever DC fic archive... Was pretty good. ^^

From an actual trial:

Q. ...any suggestions as to what prevented this from being a murder trial instead of an attempted murder trial?
A. The victim lived.

I've been a closet Gaiman fan for years, just now finding the time to sit down and read a bunch of his stuff.
Still find the concept that there is an 8th Endless named 'Donuts' out there that the other 7 don't acknoledge. ^__^

@__________@..........

.........Donuts?

I am having severe difficulties here picturing one of the Endless that looks like Homer Simpson. I really, really am.
