Went to a meet-and-greet with Daniel Handler/Lemony Snicket at Doylestown Bookshop last friday! This is the second time I have met him, the first time I didn't expect to see him.* I don't like my photo taken but I love the funny photos he takes with everyone, so as a kind of last minute idea I asked if he would pose "with" my Snicket Pup (which I had shown him last time we met, lol) and I was prepared for him to say absolutely not, but...not only did he do it, he nailed it. I just told him to do whatever he wanted and I love how it came out! He said he always wanted to know what it would be like to be Bob Hoskins in Who Framed Roger Rabbit so I hope I got the right vibe.
*It was at a play he was workshopping and everyone told me he'd probably be there but I was a fool and thought of course he wouldn't be, he'd be watching it remotely at MOST, why would be be in New Jersey?? Yeah so of course I was wrong about that. I'm an idiot.
He also signed some books for me and I gave him a gift (a hand typed/bound/illustrated book, my translations of a small collection of 100 year old works by Kenji Miyazawa). It was such an amazing experience, once again! If you ever get a chance to meet this wonderful man, do!
Also read his new memoir, And Then? And Then? What Else?
It's really, really good!
(I ended up with four copies by accident but I don't regret it because they each had something special attached, i.e. the first one came two weeks early for no reason, which allowed me to read it at my own pace before meeting with him, which made me very happy! Forgot to ask my questions specific to that book, though, damn it!)

“At times the world may seem an unfriendly and sinister place, but believe that there is much more good in it than bad. All you have to do is look hard enough, and what might seem to be a series of unfortunate events may in fact be the first steps of a journey.”
― Lemony Snicket

A Series of Unfortunate Events (2004) still has the best opening scene in movie history.

The real lesson of A Series of Unfortunate Events is that there is no worse kind of person than over confident theater people.

What gets me is that the books explain Olaf was supposed to have at some point not one, not two....BUT THREE SEPERATE WOMEN in love with him...and both Jim Carrey and Neil Patrick Harris manage to make him sexy
