(no subject)

Am baking cookies to send home to my parents. I am aware that is probably a little weird to be at college and sending cookies home (though the reverse is also happening). My mother seemed really excited when I told her on the phone!

this show should be retitled "the walking cliche"

I just don't know how I feel about The Walking Dead, man. Like, my feelings on all the characters tends towards "wow, these people would all be more interesting if they were eaten by zombies" and also "wow, this is so cliched it burns."

Also, I have seen better apocalypses. This one is just sort of making me twitch and wonder if I have the time to dive back into Dies the Fire or Island in the Sea of Time. (Well, I do need to start getting brushed up on the Emberverse for when I actually have time to read The High King of Montival.)

On the other hand, I doubt I'm going to stop watching; there's only three episodes left in the season, apparently, and that's more knitting time. And it's something my roommate and I can talk about! (And disagree on, I believe.)

Seriously. Three episodes in and I don't care about anyone. (Well, maybe Dale, and the blonde chick, the one whose name I can't remember. But only in the sense I find them marginally more interesting than the other characters.)

If I had time, I would totally be reading Stirling to take the bad taste out of my mouth. As it is, I shall content myself with Polybius and Livy. (And I don't care about zombies enough to wonder about an AU where Hannibal had to team up with the Roman Republic to fight off the zombie hordes.)
