charliesmumSo this guy ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
mabfan had something he sent to Neil Gaiman posted on Gaiman's blog, and since he turned out to be a fellow LJer who is an actual published author I asked if I could friend him, and he said yes. Because, well, it's cool to have an actual published author on my friends list, and he posts interesting things. So a couple of days ago he asked for people to send him some names for 8 futuristic assassins (he writes Sci-Fi) and if he can he'd acknowledge the person who's name he chose in his book. I thought that sounded like fun, so I suggested this: This may be too obvious/religious, but I always liked Kali - Hindu goddess of dissolution and destruction. Her other name was Parvati, which might be less obvious but people may think you got it from Harry Potter.
Well, lo and behold he picked my name as one of his choices. I don't know exactly why I find that so cool, but I do. So one of his assassin's code names is going to be Kali. Wee!
And I broke down and joined![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
lost_tv because I want more places to go to talk about the show, and I don't think I want to join TwOP. Someone posted an interview with one of the writers, and the writer is quoted as saying But the fact that everybody met each other before is something we're really threading into it," he says. It's the eternal question posed by Echo & the Bunnymen, it's fate up against the will. I love that he referenced Echo and the Bunnymen, an obscure 80's synth group that I used to play on the radio when I was a DJ at college. (ooh! Another sign that something is trying to tell me somebody)
Speaking of Lost, I'm pretty sure I knew this guy Michael Giacchino who has composed some music for Lost. And the Incredibles.
