"My girl, my girl, where will you go? / I'm going where the cold wind blows"

Did everyone see this Neil Gaiman post? Specifically, Other news -- seeing it's in Fangoria (http://www.fangoria.com/news_article.php?id=4496), I can mention here that it looks like Crispin Glover will, if everything works out, be working with Bob Zemeckis for the first time since Back to the Future: he'll be playing Grendel in the version of Beowulf I wrote with Roger Avary, joining Anthony Hopkins, Ray Winstone, Robin Wright Penn and Brendan Gleason. Amongst others.

CRISPIN GLOVER?! SQUEEE!!!

Happy birthday yesterday to chemokitty, the very best friend a girl could ever have.
