I spent some time in the booth this morning, recording some pickups on an audiobook I still can’t believe I was chosen to narrate. I believe it will come out […]
The one time in years I deliberately point people to my blog for ONE PURPOSE, I discovered that WordPress hid the thing I wanted them to see. Neat.
I noticed something about the way I read books, yesterday. When I start a book, it's like I'm sitting in an empty space, completely surrounded by the fog of war. Over some number of pages, that fog is pushed back and the world in the book begins to populate the formerly-empty space. Eventually, that space is on the other side of a portal that I step through as effortlessly as I open the cover of the book. I guess I've been doing this my whole life, but I didn't actually notice and note it until yesterday.
Originally written in 2021, The Ghosts of Christmas Past is a tapestry woven from painful and joyful memories that all decided to surround me that December. I've added to it once, in 2023, and I added to it again this year.

Didn’t you watch Final Destination? That area’s free from Zombies 🙂
Is Nevada so overrun by zombies they’re completely unable to file a report?
Actually, given some of the people I saw sitting in casinos on my last trip to Vegas, that might be well within the realm of possibility…
What I get from this is that either Nevada doesn’t care about the zombie apocalypse or the zombies already got them and are trying to hide the fact that they’re on the mainland. 😉
No report from Nevada? That can’t be good.
I’m on my way to Vermont as soon as I pack up the computers and the cats…
Aw nuts, BC is attached to Alaska! It’s okay, though, I finished my In Case Of Apocalypse emergency kit today.
I’d be more worried about Nevada and the surrounding states. The zombies took them out so fast no one could even get a report out.
I’ve come to the belief that, in Canada, zombies will be regarded as only slightly more annoying than mosquitoes: they will arrive in the spring, albeit slowly; we will beat them back using every day tools (hockey sticks) and repellents (sprays infused with putrescine instead of DEET); when winter returns, they will go dormant and freeze, making clean up by modified Zambonis very easy.
Bring it on.
Don’t you mean, ZOMBonis? 🙂
Surely you mean Zombienis?
That made me laugh, good one sir!
Ehh I lived in Alaska for 18 1/2 years, there are so many hunters and other people with guns the Zombies should be afraid of them!!
And today’s XKCD http://xkcd.com/1138/
Also fucked: colourblind people who can’t tell the difference between “no activity” and “widespread.”
How about Europe? Are we alive and have given up America or are we even more screwed.. FREAKING OUT!
Depends on where you are and whom you ask: http://alphadesigner.com/mapping-stereotypes/
In related news, I fought the zombie apocalypse last night in my dreams. The most stressful part was when my wife wouldn’t stop talking while we were trying to sneak around.
Also, Nevada has trouble distinguishing zombies from the hordes of slot machine players.
Obviously, what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas; Zombie related or not.
Alaska? Nevada? My omniscient B Movie Survival Guide says in the Zombie chapter, “Little is known about their origins, but they seem to be indigenous to Great Britain and remakes.”
Nice flood fill, Wil, but you missed a few spots in the Alexander Archipelago. HTH, HAND.
