The lady in the middle is RJ's widow Harriet.

They gave us a bunch of freebies too, bumper stickers and stuff.

Ha, if that makes you a nerd I am far more of one. I'm sitting on a bed in a room in New York City surrounded by open copies of an english translation of the Pali Canon, Aeneid, Paradise Lost (& Regained), and Good Omens and Soul Music (the kind with rocks in).

Damn theses. I remember having a life.

Vaguely. I think.

What's that?  Is it something you can buy on amazon.com?

Not sure about Amazon.com but a google shopping search will find you these items (http://www.google.com/products?hl=en&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&hs=lyN&newwindow=1&q=Life&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&tab=wf)

I prefer items like these (http://www.amazon.com/Death-High-Living-Neil-Gaiman/dp/1563891336/escapepod-20), but that's probably why I don't have a life.

(Note: Actually using that one for my thesis.)

Er, it's still a graphic novel, but it's collected. There's also Absolute Death (http://www.amazon.com/Absolute-Death-Neil-Gaiman/dp/1401224636/escapepod-20), which is on the overpriced side of things.
