sadly, i won’t be able to make it to SDCC this year. i know, i know, you’ve been dying! at least i already had neil gaiman draw me an awesome depiction of the dream sequence at the end of carrie.
and have i mentioned how i long to be successful enough to act as, er, eccentric as james ellroy? the phrase “out of left field” doesn’t even apply to that man – it’s more like, “out of that field that’s right by the docks, you know, the one littered with condoms and broken mirrors.” glorious. when i saw him at BEA, he kept insisting he’s a megalomaniac, but i suspect that’s all a front to simply act as bizarre as he wants to. if not, mr. ellroy, email me! i aspire to be a combination of you and betty white, and will gladly take tips from a truly successful megalomaniac.
