I'm glad you're not dead. I'm getting zombie baby flashbacks now (I want to see that movie...).

Good luck on the reading. It's a lot but I'm sure you can do it. *hug* It'll all be over soon and we can sit back and enjoy some more Last Exile. ;)

Thanks!

*hugs back*

Here is the IMDB entry for Dead Alive I'd forgotten that Dead Alive was only the American release title.

I'm not sure which trivia detail from the IMDB I find funnier:

"During the lawnmower scene, blood was pumped at five gallons per second."

Or,

"The song played on the organ as the mourners wait to enter the church (prior to the embalming scene) is none other than "Sodomy" from Peter Jackson's previous film Meet the Feebles (1989)."

I'm proud and very embarrassed at the same time -- no one told me it'd be web-accessible :/

So's another one of yours -- that was how I found you before. In retrospect, you probably are the only person with that first name associated with your university, but I was kind of surprised at the time. ^^; Usually I have to work much, much harder at being nosy on the Internet.

Your housemate, on the other hand, tends to post pictures of himself with sugar-pink hair in fairly accessible places, so it's not like the two of you as an aggregate are difficult to get a hold of. XD

Congrats on the public reading, and on the novel editing going at all, with your reading schedule. I tend to speed through books, but I think even I'd have trouble getting through everything you've been assigned. Especially if I wanted to, you know, sleep at any point in the process. I'll tell you what I tell all my friends during exam crunch time, which is, "Please don't die." ^^;;

Another one of mine...? But that's my only public reading...?

And thank you ^^

Don't look at me for explanations, bwana. I don't keep that close a track of where you are. Found it at the beginning of the summer when I was trying to see if you had a FictionPress account or something similar, which I never did find.

Now you have me extremely intrigued -- and a little worried for my memory if I've been doing readings and not remembering them. I don't suppose you could post that link...?

(Hadn't heard about Fictionpress until just now. I looked it up. Interesting, but I think I'm too old-fashioned -- I prefer paper to photons.

I do have something published somewhere on the net -- a science-fiction short story called "Facts" that I may or may not have published under my nickname James. It was ages ago -- maybe even before 2000 -- when I was new to the net. I can't for the life of me remember the name of the site that published it, so I've never been able to find it again, and googling either of my names doesn't seem to produce it, so I've given it up for lost.

I'd like to revamp that story some day, now that I've improved, but until I find that site, I'm not sure what the legal ramifications of submitting an altered version of it to someone else would be.)
