It does appear that Gaiman's Death: The High Cost of Living is finally getting made into a feature film. Now the furious speculation begins - who will play Death? Ten years ago the obvious answer would have been Winona Ryder, but she is much too old now. So who will it be? Christina Ricci or Scarlett Johannson in black wigs spring to mind for me. Where does one find a perky goth teenager these days anyway?

On the reading stack: April Blood: Florence and the Plot Against the Medici - conspiracy, murder, and revenge in anticipation of seeing the Medici exhibit in Memphis next weekend, and The Power of Positive Confrontation, in an effort to overcome my standard sarcastic, nagging method of dealing. I'm also still reading The Salmon of Doubt; IMHO the funniest story so far was Adam's tale of becoming "the other human" to a pair of dogs.

Miscellaneous: refreshed hair dye, body polished, pedicured. I feel all fluffy now :) Even sewed a bit; I love the smell of french seams in the morning :P

Eliza Dushku?

She'd need a lot of makeup, but so would 'most anybody. Emmanuelle Chriqui also comes to mind.

Naomi Watts would have worked out, back when she was being cute and Jet Girl.

Eliza Dusku is so stuck in my head as tough girl Faith that it's very hard for me to imagine her as the cheerful-almost-bouncy Death. Maybe not rule her out completely, but I ain't seeing it.

You may be onto something there with Emmanuelle Chriqui though - I remember her from 100 Girls; she might could do it with enough geisha makeup :)
