Tad Williams' Message Board

Hello, babies. Welcome to Earth. It's hot in the summer and cold in the winter. It's round and wet and crowded. At the outside, babies, you've got about a hundred years here. There's only one rule that I know of, babies -- 'God damn it, you've got to be kind.'
-    Kurt Vonnegut, 1922-2007

Welcome to the message board for tadwilliams.com. All comments are welcome, whether kudos or brickbats. However, please bear in mind that Tad would like this to be a friendly, civil message board, at least in the relations between users. We reserve the right to remove postings, or even ban postings, from anyone who crosses the boundary of reasonable taste. Basically, you can argue vigorously with someone, but watch your language, okay? We have a lot of young readers as well as grown-ups, so please show them some respect.

But the main requirement here is: have fun.

Re: QM - The Shiny New Room!

I've never liked phones. It's gotten better over the years, but I still hate calling people I don't know well/haven't talked to for a long time, and even talking to friends can be draining.

Lunar, are you getting the collector's book of "Who Killed Amanda Palmer?" with the Neil Gaiman bits? Makes me wish I had a boyfriend to bribe for killer gifts....

cyan, it's raining here, too. And cold.

ummm I guess not? Just got the last copy they had in that store, amazon says there is another version with a dvd.. dont have that one. The back of the Cd has the Gaiman text (who´s "fault" it is that I got to listen to Amanda *g*) but thats the normal Version isnt it?

I´m off to fight the evil dirty dishes of doom!
Later everyone

I'm staring at my accountancy notes, pretending I'm studying.

Wow, the Mint is now nicely crowded.

Re: QM - The Shiny New Room!

if there were customers, i wouldn't complain(that much):D

at least, i have smarch-time:)

and the great news of the day- the colleague who was supposed to share the responsibility for the fantasy section with me wants me to do it on my own,because she feels inferior to my knowledge:D (i told her to give me feedback and tell me what she wants to have on the shelves, though)*glees*

Re: QM - The Shiny New Room!

I'm cold. I had to open my window for a long time because it's sprayed a part of the wall with some anti-mould stuff, and it smells horrible.
