In the Flesh, my paranormal romance, is still free and you can still buy the first book, Incorporeal, for $2.99.
You know, I was going to post about the thought-provoking moral dilemmas posed by The Walking Dead, which really is one of the most brilliant shows I’ve ever watched, but I’m dealing with an issue.
You know that saying? Or is it a saying? You’re only as happy as your least happy child. Seems like you just get one fixed and another one falls apart. So I may be heading out East for a last minute trip.
Maybe tomorrow I’ll say something about the show and I’ll see if Penny Watson will weigh in. I’m firmly on Team Shayne while she thinks he’s losing it. I say… No.
Oh honey, I hope things are okay with your child. Hugs.
Excited about In the Flesh being available.
Thanks, Amber. You have kids, kids have issues. You know how it is…
Sending good positive vibes to all children!
20 bucks says Shayne is the first one to lose it.
You are on, Penny! And I think Lori is a snake, trying to manipulate Rick into killing Shayne. A snake. No matter what, Shayne would never kill Rick. So who’s the sociopath? Lori. I’m telling you. Besides, she wanted Shayne, you know it, and if I hear her accuse Shayne of deliberately leaving Rick in the hospital to die one more time, I might have to smack her. The hospital was overrun and Shayne assumed he was dead. Shayne did exactly what Rick would have wanted him to do - got his wife and kid to safety.
I just knew she would bitch about Shayne saving her ass. Oooh, I hate her!
OK, but remember the look on Lori’s face when Shayne confronts her w/ the fact that they were really falling in love? She looked haunted. She is consumed by guilt. I’m not sure if she is a sociopath as much as being eaten alive by guilt (OK, maybe I shouldn’t have used the expression “eaten alive”…hee hee!).
Shayne is fabulous character, but I still think there is a vein of cuckoo inside him. He is beyond bitter that his wish of having Lori and a family was so cruelly taken away from him. He’s gonna crack. In spectacular fashion. Maybe sacrifice himself in one final, vindictive act that will make sure Lori feels like shit for all of eternity? I don’t know. But he’s gonna blow!
Also, don’t you think it’s weird that all the guys don’t have beards? It’s the freakin’ zombie apocalypse and they are all still shaving? For cripes sake!
My husband just commented on the lack of beards. Of course they’d have beards! Either that or a major rash from shaving dry! Oh, yes, guilt is eating at Lori, but she’d just as soon remove the reminder of her guilt. If that ain’t sociopathic, I don’t know what is.
No, I think Shayne and Rick will fight it out. I want them to come to terms with this without her interference. I don’t believe Rick has it in him to kill his best friend, the man who kept his wife and child alive. And I know Shayne would never kill Rick no matter how much he wants Lori.
I agree w/ that, but I still think some catastrophic event is coming up. Shayne seems like the one least affected by the “loss of humanity” aspect, but I think he is the one who will crack when he realizes he will never get Lori. Maybe she’ll miscarry? Something will happen.
I also think that farm is about to be over-run by Walkers. Can’t wait to see what happens with that.
Oh I agree, the farm is about to be overrun, either by the living or the walking dead. Wonder who will survive that catastrophe? I hope Glen gets to keep his girl. And maybe, just maybe, Rick and Shayne will reach an understanding and save them. Or at least a truce. But Lori needs to STFU.
Oh and quite possibly the stupidest thing, aside from Lori’s little excursion into town on her own, was Dale trying to hide the guns. Good lord!
You know what would be reallllllllllly cool? (Jaye is gonna be pissed about all those Ls). Anyway, if Shayne loses it and Dale, Mr Anti-Violence, turns into a gun-toting vigilante during an attack. Now THAT would be cool.
I should totally write for that show. All the guys would have beards.
Ahem, how in the world did I get a reputation as a grammar-grinch?
Ladies, ladies, ladies, Darryl is the REAL man. Shayne? Pfft. Rick? Meh. Darryl rocks and rolls. Any hero stuff needs doing, it’ll be my man Darryl. He and his trusty crossbow and those heavenly arms can save me from zombies any old day. And I won’t whine a bit.
(by the way, Julia, #1 in Jewish literature on Amazon. Yeah, baby…)
Kids…one of mine just e-mailed me this week that he got married. Another lost a sister-in-law last night to a massive stroke. Yes, there’s always something going on when you have kids. Hope everything is all right with yours.
anny
Yeah, Anny. When it comes to kids it’s always something. Sorry to hear about the tragedy.
Jaye and Penny - we need a three-way - Team Shayne vs. Team Rick vs. Team Darryl. The only problem is that I too have the hots for Darryl…
We must do this.
I love Daryl, too. I think he’s gonna end up being the #1 Hero of this show. He is a survivalist bad-ass, and he’s struggling w/ his humanity issues right now. But my guess is that he will deal way better with the outcome than “Volcano About To Blow” Shayne. (I’m taunting you, Julia!)
(Smiley face for Jaye)
Penny - it’s on, girl. It. Is. On.
Just found these on Twitter - Zane Bradley - A man walks up to the tattoo artists, asks “Do you do zombie tattoos?” “Sure” he replies. Ok. I’ll go get him, he’s in the car… nom nom nom.
And - my personal favorite -Two zombies were eating a clown. One turned to the other and asked, “does this taste funny to you?”
I hope they make you smile!
LMAO! I burst out laughing! Great stuff!
The clown jokes just “kills” me!! I burst out laughing first time I read them too.
Sorry your daughter is having a time. My Mother is never happy; I always thought it was her but maybe it’s us. Great, more guilt.
She’s better, Steph. Thanks. Yes, a little guilt goes a long, long way.
Not only do most of the males on TWD not have beards but Rick is shaping his. The world is overun by zombies, his wife is pregnant possibly by another man and he’s worried about whether his beard flatters his cheekbones? No wonder nobody respects him.
Yoshi, you may be onto something! His scruff does look a might tidy…
I agree w/ Yoshi. They should all look like Paul Bunyan.
I agree with you both, Penny. The men oughta be very beardy!
Hope everything’s okay with the fam, Ms. Julia. Hugs,
