Amanda Palmer and Neil Gaiman are collaborating. Actually, Amada Palmer and Neil Gaiman are, like, right now in Boston taking photos and collaborating.

How did I not know this? Why did my f-list not implode with awesomeness?

I think she should die in a fire. Dresden Dolls opened for Nine Inch Nails a while back and it was an absolutely horrible performance. They covered War Pigs ... ugh. I was so happy when they got off the stage.

Anyway ...

Neil Gaiman is cool. I downloaded an audiobook of Anansi Boys and they picked a really awesome guy to read it.

That's a bit harsh. She's a friend of a number of my friends who are reading this, so, y'know, telling people that one of their friends should die in a fire, even as a joke, is kinda not-so-good.

I've seen the Dolls twice. The first time, they were doing a concert for a fundraiser for the high school in my town. And the second time was a dance at the local science fiction convention.

well, let me apoligize for my diction, but diaf tends to normally just exprsss displeasure, not an actual desire for a person to combust. poor choice for the audience I suppose :|

sounds like the dolls do some swell stuff for good reasons, but between some of their more annoying fans (every band has those) and their performance, I wont be rushing to see them

I don't think anybody should die in a fire, no matter how awful a person they are.

eh, there are a small handful that might deserve the fate, but it is rather horibble.

that said it is simply a phrase and not an actual intended situation I wished for.

It's "simply a phrase" that I find particularly upsetting, and I hope the fashion for using it passes soon.

words have whatever potency you chose to assign them

I apologize if those ones were particularly distasteful to you however.

I appreciate that. However, I've never been a fan of "sticks and stones can break my bones, but words will never hurt me." It's patently untrue.
