I re-read Max Brook’s ‘World War Z’ last weekend. I loved the book way more the second time. If you haven’t read it and like horror fiction I couldn’t reccomend it highly enough. It is not just a great book about zombies, it is a great book about how people respond to and succeed or fail in the face of serious catastrophe.

It has moments of sadness, horror and triumph that is just not to be missed. I really look forward to what Max will do next.

I watched Dr. Horrible for the umpteenth time and got something that was probably obvious to you all but unevaluated. This is very much a coming of age story. Doc gets every thing he wants, Billy is banished (almost, almost). Where does he go though from there? The things that made him want to rule; his frustration, his anger…those were tied to his humanity (Billy) those got burned away when Penny died. So now he just wants to rule to rule. Just madness control for control sake.

So where does that leave ol’ Doc? We see at the end of the series there is still some sparks of Billy left. I’m really interested to see where the crew goes forward with this one. I hope Billy wins.

I’m having a joyus bout of insomnia weekend. Dearest girlfriend pointed out the Tim Burton-esque dark circles under my eyes. The cool part would be if I was doing something productive with this wakefulness, the obvious part is that I am not.
