Yeah, that's the thing. It's like I said, in theory, it sounds lovely to my slightly misanthropic soul, but probably not so much with the practical and for me, practical tends to outweigh misanthropic. I mean, half the draw of Seattle for me is the fact that I have FRIENDS, you know?
Also: the ferries stop at about 1am. In my social circle, that's criminally early. YMMV of course; not everyone is a blood-sucking child of the night.

For me, 1AM is up writing. Or a late night in the bar at a writing conference. Because, y'know, I'm a geek like that. Also, having munchkins makes 1AM nights out a thing of the long ago and far away. And again, for practicality's purposes, I like the freedom of being able to get where I want to be with relative ease.
It's the hair that's killing me in that picture.
Real Science Dealing With Important Issues:
If zombies actually existed, an attack by them would lead to the collapse of civilisation unless dealt with quickly and aggressively.
That is the conclusion of a mathematical exercise carried out by researchers in Canada.
They say only frequent counter-attacks with increasing force would eradicate the fictional creatures.
The scientific paper is published in a book - Infectious Diseases Modelling Research Progress.
So do I want the shoe, or the boot?
I have to say the shoe, although I flipped back and forth several times.
If the boot had more eyelets or whatever the hole for the shoelace is called, I would have voted boot.
If zombies actually existed, an attack by them would lead to the collapse of civilisation unless dealt with quickly and aggressively.
There was actually a report about this on the very serious 'Today' programme on BBC Radio 4 this morning.
Do they call this time of year 'silly season' over there, too?
