All sorts of fannish glee awaits me!

Blue Sun BioDiesel! Aaron points me to the first sign of Alliance domination. And horror--they're targeting the liberals first! And speaking of Firefly, I am positively gleeful about the Penn Movie Channel's shedule for January -- they're airing Serenity nearly every day. And Serenity won the BBC 2005 Film of the Year! Shabooyeah.

Next, Will tells me that Neil Gaiman is coming to Temple! Thursday, January 26, at 8:00 PM in Room 222 Temple University's Center City campus (1515 Market Street, entrance is between Market St. and JFK Boulevard). He's going to read from recent work, and I assume sign as well. I wish I'd known earlier, so that I could have brought my Mirrormask book from home! Oh well. I could get him to sign Anansi Boys, which I finally finished in Greece. OOH! I could make prints of some of my Sandman images and give them to him! Mmm, good idea, me! Vote in the poll and tell me what I should do.

In addition to Anansi Boys, I also finished Jim Butcher's Furies of the Calderon (quite nifty, but I'm not as big on High Fantasy as I once was) and John Hodgman's Areas of my Expertise (read it NOW). Speaking of Jim Butcher, we have the cover for the 8th Dresden Files book, Proven Guilty! Also, I'm trying not to dance around my room and squee over Jim's endorsement of my idea for the "name" for the fans/fandom. I took a leaf from the X-Files' book and jokingly suggested "DresdenPhiles," only to have the list rally in its favor! I've been in this fandom a couple months, and I'm already naming the fen! So amused.
