Mailbag and Question Night.....

Where, oh where did you come by the gentle/person skelly of the bath? I've been hoping to have one present itself to me, in my far-too-frequent ramblings in odd shops, but thus far, no luck.

My friend Beth, who is AFP's amazing assistant heard I wanted one, and she had an extra.

With what musician or group would you love to jam?

Melissa Etheridge, hands down.

Oh, I have a Quiche question: Do you like Star Trek?

Well, I don't DISLIKE it. I don't really watch it tho.

What cell phone are you using these days?


Blackberry Curve. Someday I will learn how to make it play music for my ringtones.

How would you have fixed Underworld: Rise of the Lycans?

I would have stuck to the story as it was laid out in the first two movies. And let Viktor be a real character.

Where would you like to see the Underworld franchise go from here?

Well, I am all for a fourth, depending on who writes, directs and stars. They certainly left it hanging. I will miss Lucian and the Elders tho.

Do you need anyone to rake leaves at Spooky House, or is that a service provided by Merry Housekeeper and/or Spooky Daughter?

What do you mean Rake Leaves? I leave them. They are leaves. Duh.

What albums do you have more or less completely memorized?

Currently Lady Gaga. And all of the Oysterband.

What's for dinner?

Well, it might be a lot of things. Can't say for sure at this point. Is tea and cookies dinner?

What is the air speed velocity of an unladen swallow?

You obviously have me confused with the Birdchick, who COULD tel you that.

What is your favourite Bengal rescue story?

Magic, my F1. He had been thru several homes, getting further down each time, and more withdrawn, someone declawd ALL his paws. His last owner had no idea what he was and couldn't handle him and took him to a shelter, who said they could not take him and would have to kill him, if we didn't help. I drove 5 hours across the state and got him. He's far from ok, but his eyes have wonder in them now, and not hate and fear. THAT is why I do this.


does @neilhimself ever make you do anything embarrassing like take his boxers to be dry-cleaned?

I have worked for him for 17 years, and he doesn't MAKE me do anything. My job is whatever needs to be done. I would question his thoughts tho, on that one. He would probably have a good reason.


What was the funniest thing that happened while your boss was gone?

Jonathon Coulton, Paul and Storm coming for a visit.Having them visit is just like their shows, only it never stops and they don't sing. Much.

How did you get your job with Mr. Gaiman?

I put his library on his shelves when he moved here 17 years ago and figured I'd stay until everything got done. It's not.


Is it written anywhere how you got into bengals and rescuing them?

I just loved the look of them, and what I read of them, and I had never bought a cat before, and never for that kind of $$. I had just got my own house and really wanted two. Them my Boss found the Bengal Rescue site and I found out how many needed homes and help, and I wanted to do all that I could.

I can't regret Venus and Mim, but if I'd have known about rescue first, I would have gone that route.

Is Neilhimself going to take a picture of you with the LOMO camera?

No.

Zombie apocalypse, you're in a mall. Pick your weapon, person (alive or dead), and song blasting over the PA system.


Hmm, good one. Barracuda, by Heart. Obviously. Mace. The metal thing, not the spray. And I am pretty sure I'd want Woodsman Hans. The man knows more about Zombies, Zombie Movies and how to survive them than anyone I have ever known.


When is the video crew coming to shoot the Spooky House Show?

We aren't shooting my show HERE! I've had film crews out before, if only for a day, it's a lot of fun yes, but not something you'd want around week after week.

Can you overindulge a cat?

Uh, NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What kind of sheets do you like?

Clean. And expensive. I am really a snob that way. And I love being in bed.

That came out weird, but true....So true.

Thanks everyone! This was way fun! And now you know...

Don't you?

Love and Questions,
