But first...
In case you didn't know, Amber's sister, who was once living with us, is now back in Ohio. This caused some hurt to Amber, but we're making the best of the situation and spending a whole lot more time together.
Ah, the joys of having only one job.
Amber's really excited about the Coraline movie. We went out and got the book (the PS edition), which Amber will promptly read after we see the film. It comes out a week from tomorrow, and to be honest, we're both kinda excited about seeing it. Amber got excited about it after seeing the making-of videos in the internets. She showed me some of them, and let me say: they were pretty cool.
I'm very glad that Amber's found something to be happy about, as she's had a rough start of the year, and it makes me happy when she's happy.
...
As part of my sworn duty to keep our southern borders safe from zombies (I hope there's someone up north sharing my job desc. The stocking caps of the Canadian zombies give them special protection from headshots), I have the following news to report w.r.t. our undead adversaries.
Apparently, there was a brief zombie scare in Austin, TX. DOT signs warned motorists of "Zombies Ahead". Some motorists failed to pay heed to these signs. Their cars are now currently available at the Austin police auction, slightly torn, scratched, and stained, but otherwise in perfect working condition. (Full Story)
Additionally, Jane Austen scholars have unearthed missing works from the author. Turns out Pride and Prejudice had several passages dealing with zombies that T. Edgerton, publisher, did not consider appropriate for the end reader. Some 200 years later, we may read it in it's unabridged form, entitled Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. (Full Story)
Last on the zombie front is the documentary based on the nonfiction chronicle of the Zombie Wars. The footage from the wars has been edited together by director Marc Forster, whose previous work includes more fictional accounts of British spies and the like. Once a few sequences are professional reenacted (with dialogue touchups by comic/space soap author J. Michael Staczynski), the film should be gracing our movie theaters some time next year. Keep a lookout! (Full Story)
Well, that's it on the zombie front. Keep those downstairs doors locked and those shotguns loaded!
Oh, and on a more serious note, I'll probably be focusing my attention more on my Blogger account (http://jacobsilvia.blogspot.com) than my LJ. If you have an LJ or any other OpenID provider, you may leave comments there.
I'll still crosspost to my LJ (http://aethercowboy.livejournal.com) for the time being, but may eventually phase it out. This has been your deprecation notice!
