I stole that line from a very catchy song called "The Beat That My Heart Skipped", by Dan Le Sac Versus Scroobius Pip. I like it, and it's fitting. See, for the last few days, I have been out of internet - my router died in a storm, and then I was in Sydney with no net... hence the lack of posting...
So... What can I tell you? Uh, oh!
I purchased a few things in Sydney that I have been after for some time now. One was a book of art by the gentleman who drew Hatter M and 30 Days of Night Ben Templesmith. It is a collection of his artworks (second volume) called "Conluvio", which happens to be very good.
I also picked up a copy of Ascend, a graphic novel illustrated in the inimitable style of Christopher Shy. It is marvellous. His work always inspires me, and I find him to be one of the greatest artists currently working in the graphic novel field (among many others).
Finally I got my hot little hands on Neil Gaiman's most recent short story collection, Fragile Things, which is amazing, as is all his work. I very much enjoyed the story "A Study In Emerald", which is a must for anyone who likes a good read, and is available for free here: http://www.neilgaiman.com/p/Cool%20Stuff/Short%20Stories as a .pdf file to download (its illustrated, and is about 5 mb, well worth it). Its a brilliant Sherlock Holmes/Lovecraftian-esque story, and melds in a lot of popular mythology throughout. Have a look.
Also, have a good night. Blake.
