maddy gaiman

there are many other interesting things and thoughts to blog about right now. but these interesting things and thoughts have actually made me pretty busy and tired lately that i have naught the energy to summarize everything into a few paragraphs. and it is actually best told than written down. with snide comments and raised eyebrows or exasperated expressions and deep sighs.

so. i will just introduce maddy gaiman to the public, neil's youngest. for the past and next few days, she will be neil's guest blogger. reading her eleven (or is twelve or thirteen)-year-old entries makes me want to be gaiman's daughter. amazing little kid who takes after her dad's humor. a few years from now, i might have to search her own stories in the bookstore. have a kick out of her. check out her entry below (i can't seem to find a way to link just her entry. strange. anyhoo).

I'm not very good at this whole title thing.

Good evening everyone! This is marvelous Maddy here and as I promised today was much more exciting then yesterday meaning I have lots to report.

1. Guillermo del Toro can shout "action" very loudly and I do not recommend standing next to him as this event happens. I'm pretty sure that I might be deaf in my right ear.
2. I learned a lot about Hungary from what Julian, our driver, was telling dad on the way onto set this morning except for I wasn't exactly listening that much on account of the fact I was reading a book by Meg Cabot. (At first I thought it was Neil writing the entry and got taken a back at this point... "Neil reading Meg Cabot? As in Princess Diaries Meg Cabot?" Then re-read from the beginning and saw it was actually his daughter. Whew!) Eventually I had to stop though because I have troubles reading in the car and I felt a little bit woozy (cool word).
3. Guillermo's daughters, Mariana, age, 11, and Marisol, age 6, (not sure if I spelled those names right) are quite awesome. I hung out with them most of the day today except for when they ditched me and then I had to follow my weird dad around. (Just kidding! In no way is he weird no not at all in a million years.....)
4. Selma Blair is really, really super nice and did anyone else realize that she was in Legally Blonde because I sure didn't. She also has a cool doggie named Wink.
5. As fun as Budapest is I miss my friends back home... not that any of them told me to mention that *cough* LEXI *cough*! P.S. now that I said Lexi's name I should probably mention Akansha and Anna Rose, too. I'm sure you three feel very special now. :)
6. There was a really cool storm-ish type thing while we were driving back to the hotel and that was the first time that I have actually seen the full on lightning bolt thing so close to me. It was pretty wonderful!
7. It is really weird/cool seeing Hellboy up close with all the make-up and everything!
8. I like how they bring you watermelon, red currants, and raspberries when you are just sitting there on set and getting a little bit hungry. (Hungry in Hungary HAHAHA GET IT?!)
9. I am running out of exciting things to tell you. Plus it is 11:40 and I am getting a bit tired and I think dad wants the Internet plug. :)

Hope you enjoyed it. I shall be back tomorrow!!! Have a brilliant day.
