It’s Almost October . . .

I’m still working on my October TBR, and I’m finally reading this collection.

Eddie Dial

How’d I miss this the first time through Monk? I mean, MY Eddie Dial . . . I guess I wrote him into The Bird is Gone in 01, 02, and he hit the shelves 03-ish. This—from the fourth season first ep, I think (the one with Jason Alexander)—has to be 06 or so, by my math:

Coolest News Since the Last Coolest News

So excited for this. Every day more excellent and vital and compelling stuff is turning up. Well, that makes it sound passive. Dedicated scientists are FINDING this stuff more and more lately. And, I mean, look at this: symbols and art from 100,000 years ago. Boggles my mind in the best way:

This may be my favorite of all the Zombie Bake-Off Reviews. It’s my favorite from eight years after it came out, for sure:

The Werewolf Mouse

Thanks to @Verdant_Samuel for the headsup on this. Doesn’t get much cooler:

Scary sounds

Was listening to a podcast interview . . . I think maybe it was Mick Garris’s? Maybe? Anyway, the guy being interviewed said that when he was a kid and knew a scary part of the movie was coming, he wouldn’t cover his eyes, he’d cover his ears.
