My post is actually over at The Girls' Guide to Surviving the Apocalypse -- Abed (The Film):
What would you do to keep your family alive?
Watch the trailer to see if this is something you'd like to check out (i.e. not for the faint-hearted!)
Or just buy Beth's story for 99¢ on Amazon:
And be sure to pop over to Todd's to see the round-up of overlooked sights & sounds. Busy week: news soon! So... read more »

[my review from AKnifeandAQuill.wordpress.com] This is my first read by The Wire in the Blood author Val McDermid. Don’t look at me like that! I only got back into crime recently and I tend toward the noirish end of crime (AKA everything goes wrong, y...more |

| A fun conceit -- filling in all the background noise of what's happening between the lines of the PULP FICTION soundtrack. Terrific efforts all around, some of surprising gruesomeness and hilarity, too. Too many good stories to choose just one, but a...more | |

“Symptom Recital
I do not like my state of mind;
I'm bitter, querulous, unkind.
I hate my legs, I hate my hands,
I do not yearn for lovelier lands.
I dread the dawn's recurrent light;
I hate to go to bed at night.
I snoot at simple, earnest folk.
I cannot take the gentlest joke.
I find no peace in paint or type.
My world is but a lot of tripe.
I'm disillusioned, empty-breasted.
For what I think, I'd be arrested.
I am not sick, I am not well.
My quondam dreams are shot to hell.
My soul is crushed, my spirit sore;
I do not like me any more.
I cavil, quarrel, grumble, grouse.
I ponder on the narrow house.
I shudder at the thought of men....
I'm due to fall in love again.”
― Dorothy Parker
