I know a woman who lost an eye to an LP of doom. Still not a zombie, AFAIK.
That's my girl... That's my good girl.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
When I was in college, a friend lived right next door to a sorority. During pledge week there was much annoying singing of their theme song. So one drunk evening my friend took an old Duran Duran LP, scratched "You suck!" all over it and flung it out the window at the sorority.
I don't know if the knowledge that an LP could put an eye out would have stopped my friend from flinging the LP, or would have enticed her to fling more.
AFAIK, none of the sorority sisters or pledges were zombies.

All this time, I thought Hunter was a bitch. Turns out she was just hungry.
I take it we're not mimicking zombie behaviour as in Shaun of the Dead?

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Oooh. A letter in the latest EW:
In response to "The Last Good-Bye" (News & Notes), about the end of an era with Star Wars and Star Trek, I have a suggestion for sci-fi hungry fans: Joss Whedon's Serenity. While there can be no replacement for the big two, I believe Serenity, based on the cut-way-too-short television series Firefly, is a worthy successor.

Interview w/an actor from Serenity -- is it spoilery to say who he is? If so, don't click. However, he has also recently shot a movie with Woody Allen and compares Joss and Woody:
"That was a very big jump, because Joss' mind in terms of science fiction is very different," he told us. "With both of them, there is an extraordinary amount of detail that goes into everything, but just the scale of it is extraordinary. It deals with universes and so on. It's the world of sci-fi but very intelligently put together. It was an extraordinary experience and I get to fight, a bit of general martial arts and hanging on wires."

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
No, it's been deemed non-spoilery to name him, since he's never been on the show.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
I'm chortled pink to hear "Serenity" referred to as a "science fiction epic". And Chiwetel Ejiofor sounds like he had a fun time making the movie, which strikes me as a good sign. Yay!

White fonted to avoid spoiling (cause it might give away a minor plot point)
it's not an out-and-out villain in a sense. It's more someone who does bad things, but for what he perceives to be very good reasons.
Umm - I actually think most villains in real life, and the better written ones in fiction, think of themselves as justified
