This made me laugh out loud: The Onion News Network doing a news-program-esque discussion, "Has America Lost Sight of the True Spirit of Halloween?" One of the people says she asked her nephew if he knows why he wears a costume for Halloween. She and the others are appalled that he said he does it for fun and for candy. She says, "He didn't even know that it was to protect his virgin spirit from the wretched dead that roam the earth one night a year to steal souls."
And, uh... since I posted the link for Neil Gaiman's website, you've been checking it daily, right? Riiiight? Well... you could check it now for some fun with a spooky song. And I know I haven't yet done the proper hooting and hollering for having been able to see him (yes, him -- Neil, the Neil Gaiman) in Philly. But I saw him on day 2 of the tour for The Graveyard Book (think of The Jungle Book only... not a jungle), which means he read Chapter Two. At the reading, Neil (can I call you Neil?) had us all say hello to posterity -- his reading of the chapter was filmed and is up for free, there with his readings of the rest of the book. I know day one was in NYC. Folks... these are long videos. But Gaiman always does a great job reading his own stuff.
This and that.
