I fought the lag and the lag won. Have an open thread.

So my "take four days to recover from jet lag" plan appears to have been a good one, except for the part where it wasn't actually long enough, and I am still passing out at inopportune moments. In the kitchen while making lunch. In my desk chair while writing. In the theater while watching Resident Evil: Afterlife (because the T-virus is apparently soothing unto me).

I need to take a shower. I'm afraid I'm going to drown.

So here: have an open thread. Talk about whatever, post whatever, do whatever (although it would be nice if you could keep the Campbell congrats on the "I won the Campbell" post, just to make them easier to answer). Do not expect prompt replies, as I may be asleep. If you do not see activity from me for twenty-four hours, I have drowned in the shower, and the cats have eaten me. I expect it will take them a week or so to figure out the LJ interface and begin posting.

Game on!

"Exploring the undead: University of Baltimore to offer English class on zombies"

I found the link here: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/09/08/AR2010090802944.html?hpid=sec-education ... And then I sent Professor Blumberg a recommendation for Feed.

His response was as follows: "I did read about this book when it was just coming out and it looks ideal for examining a new stage in the evolution of the zombie as a pop culture icon."

Yay Seanan! I hope the jet lag eases up soon.

Awesome! (Re: professor's response.) I hope he does actually read the book and then adopt it for his class - as a teacher myself, I can tell you that Feed is rich with classroom possibilities.

The evolution of zombies sounds somewhat dangerous. Perhaps a spin-off series *g*...

(And they should so read Feed as part of that course...)
