sick"Grant (pseudonymous urban fantasy author Seanan McGuire) continues her postapocalyptic zombie series with this adrenaline-packed, quick-witted tale of medicine and mayhem. It's 2041, a year after Shaun Mason's sister and co-blogger, Georgia, became infected with the zombie virus (in 2010's Feed). After nearly three decades of rampant zombiism, procedures and protocols have evolved to keep humans safe, constrained, and scared. As Shaun struggles to cope with Georgia's death, a doctor from the Centers for Disease Control sets the After the End Times blogging crew to investigating a conspiracy around people with a reservoir condition—a state in which the virus goes live in just one area of the body—and the high death rate among reputable scientists trying to study them. Deft cultural touches, intriguing science, and amped-up action will delight Grant's numerous fans."
I have numerous fans! And intriguing science. This is awesome, and delights the hell out of me, even if I can't currently breathe through my nose.
I, and my emergent viral colony, will now go back to making today's word count.
When will you rise?

Yes, it's a bit far. Only Filker I can think of who I think lives in BC is Brooke Lunderville. At least I think she's out that way because she used to partner with my old pal John Caspel after he moved out there, before he died.
Damn, I miss him. And Lloyd Landa. I can't visit John's grave, but this week I'm taking my guitar and visiting Lloyd's grave. I'll play quietly over his grave for ten or fifteen minutes, then leave. This will earn me stares. He's buried in a Jewish Cemetary, and there was an Orthodox contingent that saw me last time - you could tell that they thought a man playing a black electric guitar over a grave wasn't quite kosher.
