I'm smack in the middle of a week off from the day-job. Was hoping to have a steady freelance gig lined up by the time I got back. No dice, thus far.
Making some great edits to The Finster Effect. Love it even more than I did before, which is a lot. On schedule to have a query packet ready by Saturday. Yay!!! Speaking of my books, I got my very first one-star review on Amazon. It's for The Cat's Apprentice.
H and I have been watching Doctor Who. We just finished a two-parter where The Doctor has to be human. Then he's sad. I can't get over how good this show is, how impressive the writing is, how deep the themes are, and how smokin' fucking hot David Tennant is. Honestly though, that's an afterthought. I'd watch this show even if The Doctor looked like Dan Hedaya.
I'm glad I found another cool show to enjoy, because The Walking Dead sucks. It pains me to say it, you don't even know how much. H and I were both SO stoked when we heard that Darabont was doing TWD, that they had a fantastic cast, and they were pumping some real money into it. Sadly, all of that lasted for one season. Season two, a way-too long arc leading to what ended up being a really good mid-season finale. It should never have taken 7 whole episodes to get there. Or six...I forget now. Anyway, if you've been watching I'm sure you know all the stupid plot points and ridiculous idiocy that's been going down this season. (Presumably, spoilers in the comments).
And as much as I adore the work of Greg Nicotero, and think The Mist is a damn near perfect horror film--fuck him for the goings on with the swamp zombie. And fuck him for all that CGI blood. To you I say: Is that what you learned studying under Tom Motherfucking Savini (pretty sure that's his name now)??? To use goddamn, goddamn CGI blood? What are you, SyFy Saturday?!?
Just so you know, I'm not paying to own that shit either.
And I bought the first season on DVD despite its absurdly high price.
You people could have elevated the zombie genre in a way we've not seen since the time of 28 Days Later. Giving the world a riveting, action-filled, compelling zombie drama with high production values and intense and artful direction--and what did you do? You cheaped out. And you artists? You fucking stood for it. It is bullshit. As a fan, it offends me.
You all should be ashamed.
Except Jeffery DeMunn. I will always love you, Sir.

I can't really explain to horror fans why I love 28 Days Later so much, especially since I have trouble sitting through most other zombie movies. It really boils down to the fact that it's basically The Day of the Triffids but with zombies, so much so that I really can never remember where one ends and the other begins. I'll start talking about the meteor shower in 28 Days Later and not realize my mistake until I notice the blank stares.
"how smokin' fucking hot David Tennant is."
Fuuuuuck, I know, right?
If I'm guessing where you're at in the series correctly, the next episode is "Blink", which is widely considered to be the very best episode in the series. Please let us know what you think! Also tell me when you get to "Silence in the Library" next season, as it's another personal favorite.

He was just being a judgemental ass--but that's his job. I, OTOH, am being totally serious.
I anticipate many more Dr Who related entries. I'm thinking about giving him his own tag.

This made me giggle. I have to watch Day of the Triffids again now. Thanks for the reminder!
