Books and Music

These are a few of my favourite things...a friend of mine lent me "Salamander" by Thomas Wharton. He's a Canadian author, and I've never seen his stuff here...she bought the book in Dubai and now I have it. It's very good so far, sort of a magical realism/Neal Stephenson sort of plot so far. The writing is spot on with what I would like to do, so now I have someone else to steal blatantly from. I ordered "Icefields" and my own copt of "Salamander" from Amazon.com, they should be here shortly. The books were $.67 and $.89 respectively...can't beat that.

I finally got my CD's off the ship, so now Hem's Eveningland is wafting from my speakers like the smell of cinnamon bread. Mmmm. And I just bought, for the second time, Sean of the Dead. I keep hearing good things about it - the first time I bought it it disappeared before I could partake. I like British humour, and I like zombies, so British humor involving zombies may just be, well, I hope not orgasmic because that's messy but at least pleasantly tingly.


This kick started my morning: http://www.latam.msnbc.com/id/10265078/

PETA are some seriously messed up people. Like most organizations, it's probably 80% quiet, polite people who feel strongly about animals and 20% radical leftists who want to seriously change the world. Guess who gets all the attention? Right.

Shaun of the Dead is quite possibly the best zombie movie of the last five years. It's got to compete with the utter British/zombie combo perfection of 28 Days Later, but oh my God, it's still brilliant. I hope you enjoy.

My first comment! I feel so validated!

I'll let you know what I think.
