I was going to explain this photo, and then I decided that a caption competition would be more fun.

The Barnstable County Science Fiction, Fantasy, And Light Opera Critics’ Association Author Of The Year Award isn’t exactly the most prestigious honor in literature. But the award statue absolutely kicks ass.

I uploaded this image onto Facebook and they banned me for a week. A fucking week…

People are uploading videos of girls fingering themselves, a man cumming in a woman’s face, people getting tortured and straight up porn. But THIS a picture of Amanda Palmer who just happens to be shirtless, celebrating her Kickstarter success, with no sexual connotations, simply because it might offend some children. Here’s the thing, I don’t have kids on Facebook, also, kids don’t have innocence, thirdly a woman’s naked upper body shouldn’t be something seen as sexual when it is not the intention. If I can see the hairy man tits of some balding bastard I think Amanda Palmer’s naked torso should be OK…

Please enjoy these pictures of Amanda Palmer and Neil Gaiman (a.k.a the best couple. Ever.) wielding chainsaws.

The tying theme here by having the chainsaws in fancy unexpected places:

Photo of Neil by Lauren Goldberg of FairyTale Vegas photography:
Neil is “playing” the chainsaw at Amanda’s New Years Eve 2009 show with The Boston Pops at Symphony Hall in what was surely a fancy affair.

Photo of Amanda by Shervin Lainez:
Amanda is holding a Gucci branded chainsaw, enough said.

UPDATE April 9, 2013 4:28PM EST: You can find the lyrics to the song as well as a Bandcamp download link HERE.

a new song, written at bard the other day and then recorded last night (april 6th) at my show with neil… this is the first song i’ve written in a few years.
titling it was hard. neil wins for now, it’s called “The Thing About Things”. but maybe it’ll change.

many thanks to Andrew Geha for recording it/sharing.

amandapalmer:

waking up alone

the infinite possibilities of the entire cosmos flood into my head before i open my eyes

every particle collides and every life-form borns and dies

waking up alone

the day is endless and untainted and has more hours than a year

waking up alone

i think that i might finally finally finally go to the isabella stewert gardner museum and even though i’ve paid full admission to see all the art just pick a single chair overlooking the indoor garden and write in my journal

and maybe go to the museum bookstore and buy her biography and then read that sitting in the chair too

waking up alone

i let my thoughts trawl and crawl and stay disconnected from lists and from people and from my body electric and i shine into my own brain

waking up alone

i look out the window and see a world i never see once i’m out the front door the

unique and abominadle shapes and sounds of things

and how color can look like music and

the way the sun light falls blinding on a tree branch and the wind is failing to knock off those stubborn dead leaves

and i get

that people need to believe in god

waking up alone

i think i might spend some time today drawing or learning how to paint

waking up alone

i never want to touch my phone or my computer again

waking up alone

i am a brain i am a lone i am a lert i am a ware

waking up alone i make my self giggle and wrap my body deep within the quilt cocoon and stretch like a bored cat and bite my pillow

waking up alone i let the phrases of the day before unstick themselves from the walls of my memory and arrange themselves into threesomes of lyrics

waking up alone

i think about the idea of undertaking everything

and i think about how an undertaker is for the dead

and then i think about overtaking

and i think about giant mack trucks crashing on the highway

and i think

undertake

overtake

undertake

overtake

and i smile

waking up alone

i write volumes of poetry as easy as adding boiled water to instant fucking oatmeal

and throw them away

and dont care

waking up alone

i consider my trace of a hangover from a unique perspective

waking up alone

the only thing

in existence

is me

and my awkward fleshy pre-corpse headed to our little death and the ecstatic joy in countdown while gravity nails me to this spinning bed

waking up alone

is basically

masturbation.

……………….

waking up with neil

the universe collapses into a single white hair on an unshaven face

the blade of grass

the man i love

the sleepy-toothed

mad

man

waking up with neil

i violently wrap my limbs around his body like a coat of paint

and wonder

is it possible to get closer closer closer

maximizing the surface area of our bodies connecting to each other

waking up with neil

the light from the window

reflecting off the dead leaves

exists only

to illuminate his eyelashes

his lips

which are a moon-curved line

a half-a-parentheses

leaving his face an open-ended thought

waking up with neil

the endless possibilities are only what i can love

there is no end there is no boundary there are no rules there is no spoon there is no dana there is only neil

waking up with him

i fall into the cult of two

the sweet and intoxicating dogma of the other

i am the owned i am the owner i am the luckiest

girl

in

the

world

waking up with neil

the real estate of feet and earlobes and chests and backs is totally foreclosed

the deal is done

waking up with neil

i want to use a person as a blanket

i want to crawl inside his mouth and go back to sleep inside his lungs

waking up with neil

i think in the poetry of my hands and not my words

i write without a pen of the mind but with a trace of a finger and the means of every romantic lyric i ever imagined has ended in the final ideal

waking up with neil

i keep my eyes closed but i don’t go in

i stay out

there is no sweeter sensation

than being admired

while not fully conscious of where your body begins and ends

waking up with neil

our narcissisms swell and collapse like rogue waves

and we forget the planet

locked in its orbit

and we forget the day

locked in its calendar

and we forget the room

locked in its house

and we forget ourselves

locked in each other

waking up with neil

is basically

sex.

……………….

waking up with a third party

is a

whole

nother

poem.

Favourite celebrity non-monogamous couple: Neil Gaiman and Amanda Palmer

“Our relationship is open, and the open-ness is grounded in total honesty with one another. We’re very communicative with each other and we share everything. I think that’s the way you gotta do it. I can’t speak for anyone but myself, and there are a million ways to love and be in a relationship,” Palmer said. “But fundamentally, I think if you’re going to have a really, truly loving partnership, you have to be completely transparent, communicating and sharing everything. Neil and I fall more and more in love with each other every day, and I think part of that is because we encourage each other to say more, share more, to peel ourselves open to each other in the middle of the night when the day is done and the real talking happens. It’s not always easy, the peeling sometimes hurts, but the deep love it fosters is clear to see.” -Amanda Palmer

Also, the hottest celebrity couple basically ever.
