august august - stay back!

just a little bit longer! please! i got a bit of work done (as in, for money), but almost nothing related to my papers. i played an hour of on the rain-slick precipice of darkness three (difficult is difficult) and then ran. the looming, august deadline scares me so much that i'm not really dealing with it :S

i was great for the first half of the run, but had to slow down for the second. i'm amazed by how well scripted zombies run! is. afterwards, i was shocked by how unbelievably wrong the opening episode of the walking dead's second season is. how did these people survive at all if they're so incredibly stupid???

and i still haven't forgiven the director for allowing a zombie to wield a brick in the first season. i'm not sure how i feel about the scent-of-the-dead thing, either. i'm now a giant fan of max brooks, and his zombies fit into a coherent narrative.

should i be alarmed that pg now wants me to buy her a baseball bat?
