Brains? Braaaaaiiiins.

Another partially sleepless night, but still better than the last. Got most of my work done, and started reading Pride and Prejudice and Zombies.

This book?

This book is sheer crack.

Copyright infringement issues aside, it’s hilarious, witty, authentic, enjoyable, and entirely tongue-in-cheek. It also makes me want to dig up my copy of the original and do a line-by-line comparison, but maybe later. For right now I’m enjoying it; it took quite a bit of willpower to keep from snortsnickering loudly enough to wake Hikaru at the ungodly hour of 3a. If you haven’t read it, I recommend it (well, based on the few chapters I read before I had to put it down to work). I can only imagine the look on the face of the frist editor to take a peek at the thing.

Also, for those of you who don’t have twitter: the IT event we got the tuxes for didn’t quite work out. Turns out everyone else took the “optional” in “black tie optional” very seriously, and the only people at the event in tuxedos were the hired help. People stared at us, and one guy flagged us down to ask where the bathroom was.

We made our escape within five minutes, went home, and had a quiet dinner without the uncomfortable penguin suits.

Next year we’ll know better.

Lastly, if my plotbunnies don’t leave me alone, I’m going to bite them. Stop flinging new ideas at me. You know I’ll never do anything with them and I need to stick with just one story.
