Quit Gnawing on My Hand, Darcy
Remember my post awhile back about writing zombies into classic works of literature? There’s more information on the publisher’s website. “Complete with 20 illustrations in the style of C. E.

More RSS
An addendum to my previous post on RSS… I just saw this post “Google Reader for Beginners.” These folks posted a few videos on YouTube to get your Reader started quickly.

In the last few days, I have seen Pride & Prejudice (2005 with Keira Knightley), Birth, Cloverfield and The Unborn. I haven’t had time to comment on any of them at length thus far, so here are some rather unorganized thoughts on each. Pride & Prejudice I loved that the Bennets looked poorer than the […]
