Neil Gaiman would be writing some episodes of Doctor Who this upcoming year and I'm excited to see what he comes up with!

Oh, really? I haven’t read any of Neal Gaiman’s books, but I love his comics and graphic novels (namely “The Sandman”, “Death” and “Stardust”, the ones I have read). I am excited, too!

I really liked “The Time Traveler's Wife” when I read it some years ago -I feel like I should re-read it now, though, I don’t know exactly why (maybe I feel my tastes have changed a bit) but I am not sure if I’d enjoy it as much as I did then --I watched the film adaptation this summer and I didn’t like it much. But “The Fearful Symmetry” was on my upcoming-reads list, and now I am not sure if I am going to read it anytime soon, you are not the first person who says that the novel is not really worth it.

“Persuation”! I haven’t read this one yet, and I should, I know.

I'm almost embarassed to admit I like Lady Gaga after all the strange controversy around her.

Don’t feel embarrassed. I like Lady Gaga, too! :)

Vienna Teng I ( ... )

I thought the same after watching the film. Thought perhaps I'd romanticized the book. I really didn't like the film adaptation at all even though I'm usually a big fan of both Eric Bana and Rachel McAdams. I started second guessing my love of the novel. After re-reading it though I honestly think the back/forth storyline, the narrative of both Clare and Henry, their complicated love story and struggles they go through internally just does not translate to film very well. That said, I lived in Chicago for a year so possibly part of the reason the book holds such a special a place in my heart is simply because it describes local areas I'm very familiar with. :)

Oh and about Vienna Teng, I have to say her entire album "Dreaming through the Noise" I'm very partial to. At one point I had concocted this whole novel's worth of ideas for stories and characters that linked each song together.

1br/1ba makes me think of my move to Chicago several years back. hehe Blue Caravan holds a special place in my heart. I also really like that the song Recessional was inspired by the film "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" I've wanted to vid the song to the movie for *ages* but I've not had the time or appropriate software/hardware to do so. Perhaps, someday.
