I just needed to tell you, your Daily Updates From The Apocalypse are becoming some of my very favorite things. HEE. I will almost be sad when the great pandemic happens (or, you know, more likely doesn't, despite that strangely desperately hopeful gleam in that CNN anchor's eyes), because it means no more Cthulhu!

Now I have to go read The Stand again. Last time I read that book, it was flu season in New York and I was reading it on the subway, and every tubercular cough made me jump a MILE. Great. I can't wait.

(Have you seen "The Postman?" Not the Oscar-winning Italian movie, the one with Kevin Costner. My first plan post-apocalypse is going to involve starting a Pony Express. It'll be fun!)
