My 0.002 Seconds of (Not) Fame

Ok, so you may have noticed over the last few days that I was pretty caught up in the #8in8 project. You can learn more about it from

Anyway, if you noticed over the last few posts of my twitter feed, I participated on twitter whenever they asked for concepts, lyrics, etc.

At one point in the project, Neil Gaiman was writing a song and he was trying to come up with a word. He said something along the lines of "Bisect... that's not quite right. What's the word when you cut someone in half?"

Now, the word he was searching for was 'bifurcate,' which I never in a million years would have thought of, but I tweeted him this:

00:41:51@neilhimself vivisect?


An exerpt of the lyrics from The Problem with Saints, written and performed by Neil Gaiman:

I think I ought to tell her that the English left in failure
And they don’t go back to France except on hols
But I saw her vivisect a man who wanted to correct her
And the playground soon resembled grand guignol

Now, I'm sure a million people tweeted him that word, but in my mind, it will always be me.

If you'd like to listen to (or BUY, it's only $1!) the album, it is here.

I have a soft spot for Neil but he confuses me!!

I enjoy his blogging, and I like the novels that I've read.

I love his blog and Good Omens which he wrote with Pratchett but I'm having problems with his novels cos of my concentration which is bad with most novels actually.

He's not an easy read by any means, for sure. I loved Neverwhere, but I kept having to flip back and re-read in American Gods.
