This is clearly about to become a fannish something, so I pass it on as a public service. The planet Kashira indeed.

I am happy that Joss Whedon will direct the TV version (and unhappy enough that my sedative is not working well enough that I'm still awake enough to be reading blogs and watching reruns of British murder mysteries on satellite when I need to be up early in the a.m. le sigh). Anyway, isn't there something Glittery on that planet? I totally groove on that.

Glitter planet Kashira, yes.

Resign yourself to insomnia and lie in the dark resting. That's what I do when I have to be up at insane hours.

Heh.

This sounds almost as good as "Night Travels of the Elven Vampire." 'Cause that had elves and vampires and werewolves and pirates and, uh, talking dogs and reincarnation, and... uh...

All of a sudden I don't feel so well...

But done badly. Now if this one were done well... by, like, someone who could write two sentences without a cliche...

They'd have to be someone comfortable with a bloody damn lot of genres. I can't think of anyone off the top of my head.

I have this feeling that the woman who wrote "Night Travels" is one of those people who thinks her life would make a good movie script. And that she'd put on little variety shows for her parents when she was a child.

Thought it was a guy that wrote it...

This is where I first heard of this lovely tome. There was a photo of the author somewhere, too (maybe on the Amazon.com page for this book? which is now gone, I believe)--definitely a woman.

Of course, that wouldn't stop some guy from actually writing this book under a pseudonym and just publishing a photo of a woman in place of his own. Stranger things have happened.
