First comes smiles, then lies. Last is gunfire

“Our story opens where countless stories have ended in the last twenty-six years: with an idiot -- in this case, my brother, Shaun -- deciding it would be a good idea to go out and poke a zombie with a stick to see what happens.”
― Mira Grant, Feed

Today is the release date of Blackout the third and final book in the Newsflesh trilogy. I adore these books and I'm super stoked with the teeny bit of Blackout that I managed to read on my break at work.

So because of that ... a meme I've done before. And will probably do again! I retain the right to possibly change my answers from last time because I feel like it (and can't remember what my answers were last time ...)

Give me one of my characters and I'll tell you if/how they survive the zombie apocalypse

All right TVD season finale - BRING IT.

All right Greys Anatomy season finale - BRING IT.

(I'm still a little distressed by Revenge, so dear Greys please don't be causing me distress. Or too much distress - oh who am I kidding :P)

NOTE: Spoilers in the comments yo

All right TVD season finale - BRING IT.

(and crazy wind storm? If you could like ... not knock out my power / cable that would be awesome. Just saying.)

This weekend has not been conductive to RP. Now mom has sprained her ankle . Tags will happen when I can make them happen.

I think the points raised here are valid But I will admit I laughed so hard at:

....But we are talking 95% deviation. The only activity they had in common? Escaping from a zombie. Because...fuck, I don't know. Because zombies are the only truly gender-neutral threat in the world, apparently. Deserts only fuck you up if you have a penis. Frenemies (how I hate that word) only endanger your reputation if you have tits. But zombies? Man, they will fuck you up, no matter what you've got

Zombies - they will fuck you up, no matter what you've got.

(Also: have a cold. Have whined that 'there's nothing worse then a summer cold' multiple times. I know it's not summer but that's how the quote goes, okay.)

( If there isn't a movie about it, it's not worth knowing, is it? )

Also Blakcout the last book in the Newsflesh trilogy comes out May 22nd. Everything will likely stop (or slow, much like things slowed while I tore through Wind Through The Keyhole) as I devour (heh) it. I have been waiting for this book since the end of Deadline left me going; "Goddamnit! These cliffhangers are going t be the death of me!"

Watching Once Upon A Time

( Miiiillldddd spoilers for this weeks episode )

So what’s going on with my MU peeps ....? Funny you should ask ...

Standard Disclaimer: This is all just sort of me focused plots, or things I can do without too much outside-ness (in most cases but not all. And of course my plans change as things happen in RP. That’s why I love this whole RP thing, the collaborative nature and the whole’ holy hell THAT just happened aspect.)

Also I like how this is almost a month after I posted my TL;DR for MP. I guess in a months time I’ll be doing this for NA (since I move so slow …)

( LOTS OF TEXT )

It's Dark Tower ( Wind Through The Keyhole) Day!



So I am excited! Even if the characters I care about the most are only bookends to the meat of this story, it's still going to be cool to visit however briefly with them. I have a feeling after DT 4.5 I'll backtrack to book 4, and then maaaayybbee power on through the rest of the series. I've re-read Drawing Of The Three and The Wastelands so far this year, so maybe I'll finish re-reading the series.

(Actually having started DT 4.5 I can safely say I will give 'Calla one more try. I don't recall hating it all that much on my one read-through just sort of going; "I think your ripping someone off there. Like really badly. Like am I the only one getting this? Oh my god this is so blatant - oh wait. It's meant to be. Okay I get it." Also i just wanted it to end because it felt like massive filler.)

( Oh look a note about RP in the RP journal )

So I went to bed at 9:30 last night (well ... collapsed into my bed would be a better way of phrasing that) and I still feel/look like an extra in Night Of The Living Dead.

So my To Do over the next few days list [I'm probably misisng stuff]:

( Meeeeeehhhhhh )

( Movies! )

Things To Do Tonight

- Tags. All of them. Whoops.
- Pick left or right for Alex and Remy at MU Coin flip says Remy goes right, Alex goes left! Now I just have to tag ....
- Update JM at MU
- Update Berto at MU

- start to update / clean up profiles at MU
- play in photoshop
- spend hours on tumblr

- Sleep
- Sleeeeppppp

Out of this list I'm prettu sure spend hours on tumblr and Sleeeeppppp will be achieved.

So tags will happen when I can make 'em happen!

Also have a semi-busy weekend (possibly, I'm waiting to see when/if I have to trek out to my friends in the 'country' [ie: 45 mins away]) so I might be a bit slooooowww over the next couple of days.

And I bought my first piece of Avengers Movie Merchandise! What could it be? It's shocking and totally out of character for me ....

( Only not ... )

(Sure, sure the Habs are out too. Ditto for the Ducks. Pens your my only hope. Well. Canucks to I guess. But this made me laugh, been seven years since the Leafs made it even to the playoffs. They actually issued an apology for playing so badly.)

So last year I ranked The Sword Edged Blonde by Alex Bledsoe as one of my fave reads of 2011. In in fact adored the whole Eddie LaCrosse series.

ALEX BLEDSOE IS COMING TO HAL-CON.

Hollleee shit. So excited right now.

We had an egg decorating contest at work - basically sheets of paper got printed out with egg designs on them and you could decorate. I got strong armed into it (I am not artistic), but one of my co-workes got creative ...

( I hear you calling but I cant come home right now, because me and the boys are slaying and we just can't find the sound. None of these lyrics have anything to do with what I want to say. But It's got a pretty melody ... and I get to sing your name. )

Happy Easter

(to those who celebrate, and happy Sunday to everyone else :D)

Updated the journal to be all Dark Tower with the journal titles, and the userinfo,and the name field. So soon-ish to Wind Through The Keyhole! And hahaha first comes smiles, then frowns of deep disappointment, and then gunfire tossing the book down on the floor.

Also, I stopped reading the comics a while back because I don't know Jae Lee's art doesn't appeal to me. BUT I found out he's not doing the art anymore and they are comicizing The Gunslinger right now. Fingers crossed we get a comic version of The Drawing Of The Three and The Wastelands.

(So sue me. I want comic icons of my book OTP.)

I also want to take a moment to recommended Parasol Protectorate books by Gail Carriger. There set in an AU-Victorian England, and have vampires, werewolves, ghosts and other ... things. But everything is well mannered, and there's this kind of Victorian steampunk sensibility to the whole thing. The books are so funny and omg I love them.

You get quotes like:

“Highland werewolves had a reputation for doing atrocious and highly unwarranted *things*, like wearing smoking jackets to the dinner table.”

And now I'm going to go find food. Then try and clear out my inbox of tags before I head into my grandmothers for the afternoon / evening.

Work releases me it wants to make me suffer :P. Ahh well, FREEEDDOOOM in a 1/2 hour.

I just wanted to say I love Greys because of things like this:

( Episode blurb for Episode: The Lion Sleeps Tonight - NEW - S08, E18 )

ALSO: the real live book version of Christoper Moore's Sacre Bleu! is so gorgeous. I saw it in the book store, and really wanted to get it. Buuutt, I restrained. For now. But OMG guys it's so nice looking.
