Spent a cool, rainy night at the cabin. A cold front with unseasonably cool temps behind it passed through late yesterday, so I figured it would be a good night to build a little fire in the stove and listen to water run from all the rain we've had. Took my little Azus Zenbook and watched The Girl With All The Gifts. It was okay...didn't quite go where I expected or end like I thought it might. Still, I'm always up for examining a little zombie/end-of-the-world-as-we-know-it stuff! Sunshine returns today, so I need to get off my arse and jog.

I'd recommend reading the book. You will fly through it. The ending is a little abrupt, but makes sense thematically. There are also a couple of what I would call "narrative continuity errors", slight internal inconsistencies. But the characters are so strong and vividly realised that they pull you through the wonky bits and get you totally invested in what happens next.

Thank you for the insight and recommendation. It's rare that a screenplay does a book any real justice.

Unless it's Aussie, I really can't like sushi. I mean, just for a brief second, think about the meal, rather than about the myth from down under. What is sushi, really?

It is like the James Blunt of food - you don't really mind being exposed to the stuff, but vinegary rice is hardly the best thing humans have come up with. When was the last time you thought something along the lines of "I need something epic tonight, something powerful, something that makes me feel like I'm being ravished by a wild pack of lustful angels, something like... James Blunt!"? Never, right? That's because, without a tinge of punk, sushi is so bland! That's why you're not supposed to give any sushi - or James Blunt, to your baby.

I mean, yeah, I had some sushi tonight to support my mother-in-law's food stand at an event, but then I had some pastel goodness to make it up for it. Because, hail saint Mary of Cheesedom, if there's something humanity can be proud of, it is pastel:



We can be proud of everything with lots of cheese in it. Pastel. Pizza. Dutch Trance. But, James Blunt? If sushi makes you throw up, that's because James Blunt has the bestest comebacks. But at least James Blunt would hold your hair back. God's Hand from Queensland would caress you. But sushi? It'd just sit there, indifferent to your pain

LOL, I for one, appreciate this cheese inspired 'rant'! God bless the desert nomad(s) who decided to transport milk in an animal bladder and gave us all the wonderful dairy byproducts! SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL DESERT NOMAD!

Nah, sushi is delicious. I don't eat it for the rice, in fact I order very few dishes/rolls with rice. It's all about that succulent sashimi. Salmon, otoro, tai, octopus, yummmmmmm. And MUCh better for you than cheese. Doesn't get much better than healthy fats and protein. I always order an avocado salad, gyoza, and short ribs too. And green tea.


Fuck, I want some now!!

Clearly this fetal growth is driving you to eat nonsensical sized portions!

Eating less to accommodate my growing uterus has def been a challenge. I have a huge appetite and iron stomach normally.

Wait...teh fetus is in your uterus?! I was told babies come from "mommy's belly".

Back in Florida visiting my sister and two-year-old niece after being on the road for 14 months. We're having a great time catching up.

I'll definitely be sadder when I leave this time around, but I'm also excited for what's to come this summer.

All silly uterine jokes aside for a moment, I'd just like to point out how crazily scary the female body really is: you ladies can basically squeeze a fucking watermelon out a hole the size of a lemon and, should you so choose, be back at work in a few days as if, basically, nothing happened. That's just nuckin' futs.

Also, it leads me to suspect that any moaning/groaning/trashing that goes on when we're kindly allowed to slip you (plural) some cock is purely for the benefit of the fragile male ego, since you (plural) can obviously handle a watermelon, should the situation call for it.
