A couple days ago, my 4-year old son asked my wife this:
"Mommy, where do my dreams go when I wake up?"

that's great! I love that!
Buddy, you think you look strong? You’re wearing a cape.

I just found out Gaiman wrote the screenplay adaptation for Beowulf. I would like to see it now.
I just remembered that I was supposed to post pictures of my faux leather bound copy of Season of Mists.
Here's the cover. You probably can't see it in the picture, but there are engraved designed on the cover behind the key.
This is the inside page. It may be the same as the regular graphic novel.
I also don't recall if this is in the back of the normal graphic novel, but it has old-time looking pictures of people involved in the project with amusing "biographies of each. For example, Gaiman's(not in the picture) says the following:
1) He was not found wandering the sewers of London as a child during the winter of 1864, unable to say anything more than "Powerful big rats, gentlemen."
2) He was never exhibited in public houses to the curious; only briefly in July, 1865, to selected gentlemen of standing from the scientific and literary community.
3) He did not have a vestigial tail.
4) He did indeed have what most people wouldn commonly understand as "eyes."
5) He was not actually the pilot of the Zepplin, although he did disappear for good following the explosion.
6) There is quite obviously no "underground kingdom beneath London inhabited by huge, intelligent rodents." And even if there were, and suggestion of Neil's involvement in the many territorial negotiations between London Above and Below can be considered a joke, and poor taste at that.
7) He was afraid of neither mirrors nor street conjurers.
8 ) There were no tooth-marks on the bones. "
There's one hole in every revolution, large or small. And it's one word long.. people. No matter how big the idea they all stand under, people are small and weak and cheap and frightened. It's people that kill every revolution.

OMG I want that so bad! Those are awesome!
And are they already on The Absolute Sandman Volume 3? I've only got Volume 1 and haven't seen any others around.
I am Daenerys Stormborn and I will take what is mine. With fire and blood.
Three isn't out yet, but will be soon, I think. I've not bought any of the Absolute volums, since I have most of it either in graphic novel or the original comics.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that I saw volume 2 in the bookstore recently.
Chris, where on earth did you get that copy of Season of Mists? And how much was it?
Heng Dai
I think it literally cost him an arm and a leg.
I had a copy of it when I was in highschool and let someone borrow it and never got it back. I had been looking for it for a while and couldn't find it, so I finally sent Neil Gaiman a message through his Ask Neil section of his website asking him about it and if he knew where i could find a copy of it. He directed me to http://www.alibris.com/ and I was able to find a seller through that site. It only cost me $16.81(that's with shipping), actually. This copy has more meaning to me that the original that I had, simply because Neil himself helped me find it. haha.

Do you still look at the message from time and time and find yourself gradually sliding under your desk?
haha. He replied via his journal on his website. I'd imagine I could search and find the message somewhere on tehre, since he has an archive.
