Last night I finished the book I've been reading--World War Z: An Oral History of the Zombie War. The format was a little unexpected, but once I got into it I absolutely loved it. The book is a series of "interviews" with survivors of humanity's war with the living dead, and the multiple stories and perspectives from which the entire whole is made up of makes the book really intriguing, literate, and well rounded. The author is the same man who wrote the Zombie Survival Guide; I haven't read it, but I think it's cool the author has this little niche carved out. That's the kind of thing you have to do in order to get published, you know?
So last night was also the annual Chasms concert at Copper Hills. Clarence's band played of course, and as always they did really well. They get better and better with each show they play. This time they added some sweet synth provided by Clarence's older brother Curt. Luckily we didn't have to stay through the remaining bands' attempts at punk rock. After dropping off all the equipment at the guys' house, we ate at the ever-tasty Taste of Punjab (tandoori chicken, yum!). I had such a good time and it was nice to get out of the house for a while and do something normal. This past week has been pretty crazy between the funeral and getting back into the work groove. I'm trying but it's been hard going.
Last but not least, I would like to give my stamp of approval for the casting choice
for Spock in the latest Star Trek. I love me some brown eyes. ;)

What should your niche be for making it in the literary world? I think vampires and werewolves is a good way to go, very original.
Agreed. Maybe they should be at odds with one another because of a long-standing ancestral feud? Or is that too off-base?
