by my halidom...

If I were to write zombies, which I don't, something that always bugged me would be acknowledged. You kill a zombie with a headshot, right? You have to destroy the brain. Why?

I think the reason lies inside of the pineal gland.

Hallowe'en was fun this year. Literally ran into some old ghosts. In a good way.

Reading list...
I finished The Fountainhead, and saw that it could only be followed by Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, which I reviewed here:

The ultimate man and then the anti-man. Then I tackled Alan Moore's novel, Voice Of The Fire, which was quite nice. Too historically accurate to warrant the dark fantasy label, and too much of a headtrip to qualify as horror in the traditional sense. Great for the season though. I am currently almost finished with a collection of essays and lectures from Bertrand Russell, titled Why I Am Not A Christian. There are phenomenal ideas expressed here, from the godfather of Western Atheism. Actually, I wonder now how much his work might have influenced Ayn Rand in her founding of Objectivism.
Speaking of which, the long-ago ordered copy of her Atlas Shrugged is ready for pickup at the public library, so I will be hipdeep in this stuff awhile more.
I am returning to doing interviews. Jaymes Reed let me practice on him, to see how rusty I am. See the results for yourself here:

Beyond that, I am back with A.N.A Comics, to continue my series of artist interviews conducted for their company blog group. I am already lining up some great talents, and I hope to have a couple per month.

As for that other news...yea...
