CHAMPIONS PLAYING IN THE GRAVEYARD

The Graveyard Book is out!!!!!

It was supposed to be released in the States this December if I'm not wrong.

I've been yakking about it for almost 6 months and now it's here!

Here are one of the covers and some illustrations by Dave McKean who's Gaiman's long-time illustrator. I think he's the only person that can pretty much get what goes on in Neil's head and put it on paper.

(oi, spooky or not?)

I wanted to take a nicer photo, you know the kind with maybe me holding the book doing an upside-down pirouette or me at the beach reading it in the sea or something like that, but I'm in a rush.

I have a test tomorrow and I'm still at home. Last nite I was thinking, ceh it's just EAP man! Pagi ini, baru sedar yang EAP carries 3 credit hours and should at least be taken with, at the very least, fake seriousness.

That thing jutting out of the book is my ticket to go watch the "Showdown of Champions" this November 18th, Bukit Jalil Stadium (so jauh from my house, I will need to crash at someone's place).

They've got Federer, McEnroe, James Blake (Daughtry lookey-likey) and Bjorn Borg playing 2 singles and 1 double.

But somehow, I'm not that gung-ho over it. Maybe because Federer already came last year. Good things should be served in small portions at long intervals.

So anyways, the Graveyard's freshly dug and the Champions are having a showdown in it. Sounds good.

I leave you now with this photo of my buddy Anne at the time when we were supposed to go to an open house and ended up watching Dane Cook' bad pocked skin up close for almost 2 hours.

Dane Cook is NOT funny.

(very attractive no?)

I have to go back to uia now *shucks*.
