okay, so this post is totally delayed. like i said, haven't had much of a life lately.

all i can say is, i'm not a very patient person, and the brat did emerge at the fricking twelve-hour-wait for a damned signature (two, actually, thanks to the wonderful panget who made sure that coraline was signed and mousedoodled), but all the asarness went away when i actually got my 30 seconds with him. he's awfully awfully nice, and i so lurve him. i also have a nicer picture with him, one wherein he's actually looking up at the camera, but fey lip hey has been swapang lately, and he hasn't sent it to me yet.

just kidding, fey, about you being swapang. you know i love you.

isn't it trippy how it looks like he has one burning wing? (well, he does if you kinda tip your head all the way to the left and squint.)

oh, and in case you were wondering, that hand in my pocket is totally innocent. i swear to god.

check this out (i've posted this without permission which is why i'm also posting the link HERE):

BOOK SIGNING GUIDELINES

For your convenience, listed below are the rules and guidelines for
Neil Gaiman's book-signing events. Although we would like to for
everybody to get their items signed, we realize that this would be a
near impossible feat to accomplish which is why we have scheduled
three (3) book-signing events. We estimate that each person will take
at least 45 seconds to have their items signed along with their
pictures taken. In an hour, this would come up to approximately 100
fans. Out of courtesy and consideration to our guest, Mr. Neil
Gaiman, an X number of hours will be allotted for book signing per
venue. However, we will accommodate as many people as possible during
the allotted time frame.

1. Time allotment for book signing per venue:
a. "The Gathering" at the Rockwell Tent - 4 hours
b. Fully Booked Promenade, Greenhills - 4 hours
c. Fully Booked Gateway Mall, Cubao- 3 hours

2. To better facilitate number and order, we will be giving out
NUMBERED STUBS. Numbered stubs will be given on a FIRST-COME FIRST-
SERVE basis. Each person is allotted only one numbered stub
(meaning they can't line up again for another number stub).

3. Those who wish to have items signed will be required to form
two (2) lines outside each venue in order to get a numbered stub.

4. We will begin giving numbered stubs at:

a. "The Gathering", July 9, Rockwell Tent at 10:30am (Doors
to "The Gathering" will open officially at 3:00pm. However, we
suggest that you come earlier for a better chance to get a lower-
numbered pass.)
b. Fully Booked Greenhills Promenade, July 10 at 12:30 pm (Book-
signing will begin at 2 pm)
c. Fully Booked Gateway Mall, July 11 at 3:00 pm (Book-signing
will begin at 4:30 pm). Book signing will take place at the GATEWAY
ACTIVITY AREA, LEVEL 1.

5. If you should be unable to acquire a numbered stub
during "The Gathering" on July 9, you will be given PRIORITY NUMBERED
STUBS for the GREENHILLS OR GATEWAY book-signings.

we're still living in the fricking hospital.

sure, i get to go home every other day.

but we're still living in the fricking hospital.

my new best friend is daddy's late night shift nurse, the gay one who lets me sleep. he's fab. i love him na.

daddy stood up yesterday with the aid of a walker. he didn't stand for very long, but still, it was something pretty spectacular (for us, anyhoo - biomom bust into tears at the mms i sent her).

as usual, the doctors are being awfully vague as to when we can take him home. i'd call each and everyone of them bastards, but then again, that would be pretty ingrata of me, considering, they've been truly awesome in the let's-get-chuck's-dad-better department so far.

i've just been awfully brattish lately, even more than usual. very very very cranky. i need to hang out. i need to drink. i need to be the irresponsible chit i am very good at being.

maybe this weekend. here's hoping. i seriously doubt it though, because for the better part of the past month i've been in responsible caretaker mode, and i don't really see that changing anytime soon.

oh well.
