Spanning the globe today in this post, I hope - because really, there is a world outside of America and there's a world in America...or something like that.

Diana Wynne Jones (Start singing, folks, it's the second day)

Angie, yes there's going to be an animated version of Howl's Moving Castle, and it is being spearheaded by the director who did Princess Mononoke and Spirited Away (Which I still haven't seen. Damn it.) More about that can be found at Diana's official site.

I have read 18 DWJ books, including collections of short stories - Everard's Ride and Warlock at the Wheel, I recommend highly.

She's briefly mentioned in the author notes for Stardust, by Neil Gaiman, I believe..it's been a while since I've picked up Stardust.

Have you seen Welsh languageTV? Apparently, there's nothing in the world like it. (well, obviously)

the super furry animals (Welsh band) or here Something4theweekend, indeed.

Leonard Cohen Join wintercolourswintercolours in the unholy beauty that is Jeff Buckley's "Hallelujah" and a cap off to Leonard Cohen, who wrote the original song that Buckley based Hallelujah on.

I remember, vividly, hearing the librarian reading to us the story of the Gefilte (Gifilte?) fish who was taken home and let loose in the bathtub as a pet, before....

Or perhaps I saw it on Reading Rainbow. Whichever, I was completely horrified.

Because there's more to the Asian-American literature world than Amy Tan.

Godiva sent me their catalogue, and I have decided there is a conspiracy to kill me dead by packaging and or/chocolate consumption. The peppermint truffles, especially. I've cut back on chocolate, but this is ridiculous - I do like their lady Godiva tin, though.

Which brings us to Grant Lee Phillips. Hey, this man can sing the phone book and you'd think it was the most profoundest, deepest, intimate secret in the world.

Have you seen the Hello Kitty bass?


Am listening to U2's Passengers cd -- incidentally, it's less painful than POP. Good God, that was just.....

The song as covered by Save Ferris - an update on the Waitresses' classic.

ETA: the correct spelling of "goyim" and the Waitresses.

Hey Tink, maybe you'll like this song better )
