'Tis the season to be easily distracted by shiny things.

We're about to enter the month of December, and I figure, what the heck, let's be festive! So I'm going to be doing two things throughout the month, namely...

1. Giveaways! I have lots of things to give, including books, CDs, other people's books, and things I find under my bed. Some of the giveaways will be random, some may require effort on your part, but watch this space for news. First up will be a random drawing for Rosemary and Rue, opening tomorrow.

2. Shopping lists! It's the most shopping-oriented time of the year, so I figure I should offer some awesome ideas for your holiday gifting purposes. But! I am not the all-seeing, all-knowing Wizard of Oz. If you have any suggestions, be they books, obscure movies, or Etsy stores full of awesome, please email them to me via my website contact form. I repeat, email. Don't comment on my journal, please. If I can fit your suggestions into a list, you may see them here!

December is upon us. Let's send this calendar year out with a bang.

Quick Question

I know this isn't really relevant here, but as I was watching one of the walking dead episodes, a thought struck me like a gelatinous glob from a zombies mouth.......

How many zombies would it take to keep a regular sized sedan from moving?

Also, if there were zombie herds like in world war Z, how far could a car or truck drive through them before it would bog down in assorted zombie roadkill parts?

I need to know, and now, I believe YOU need to know also.

It depends on whether they're active zombies (ie, capable of bracing their hands on the car and shoving) or passive zombies (sort of slapping and hoping the tasty part will fall out). Beyond that...this is a job for the Mythbusters!
