gwydion* Random historical musing: how did they treat people for tape worms before modern medicine?
* Apparently, I'm still thrashed from Thursday. I slept until my ribs ached.
* I'm nearly done Feed. So far, I've only anticipated two out of three major plot twists, which impresses the hell out of me, as generally, there are few surprises in books or movies. To manage to slip even one big thing past me, takes skills. This is also pointing an interesting way forward for zombie literature, as a genre. I'm all for that, just as I'm always in favour of literary innovation. It's got engaging main characters, a well designed world, and a sense of humor, all serious bonuses in my book. It also has a reasonable disease model, which is a rare and glorious thing. As written Zombie stories go, I'd say it's right up there enjoyment wise with "How the Day Runs Down," and "World War Z."
* My favorite scene from Soap:
