Pride, Prejudice, Polygamy and... zombies.

[fictional]

It's no secret to anyone who's talked to me for more than ten minutes about books, but just in case there's anyone of you to whom that doesn't apply, in my opinion Pride and Prejudice may be the most perfectly structured novel ever written. I think it is shocking in its sheer, staggering brilliance. And snark.

The P&P industry's taken a new turn though... and I gotta say, I can't wait!

Because you know what? Zombies make everything better!!

No joke: this is Mr. Darcy & Elizabeth... battle the undead!

And get a load of this: just green-lit, Pride and Predator: i.e. P&P meets TORCHWOOD.

Who's coming with me when this shit hits the screen???

Also found on the intertubes today: thoughts on polygamy from MsNBC. What do y'all make of that?

OMG. I knew about PP&Z, but I didn't know about the sci-fi film. Oh win. This is all a lot of fun to geek about and anticipate. Here's hoping the execution is worthwhile.

Plus, holycrapzombies. I love zombies. LOVE. (And am also actually afraid of them. Ask me about my first flat here in CoMo sometime.)

I have mixed feelings about the polygamy article. It was nice to see a not-sensationalized article in which a woman is extolling the virtues of her family's relationship style (and in which is is clear it that she was an active mover in making it happen), but it was kind of painfully suburban.

Still, it's so unusual to see something that positive and comfortable with itself in the mainstream. I'm glad it exists.

We are constantly planning for the zombie apocalypse. No, really. The point is whether they can climb, isn't it? If not, it's possible to make defenses.

I'm glad it exists too, and comfort/communication = important. I just... am annoyed at the tendency to try and neaten that which cannot be neatened. Relationships are complicated. And not solved by an endless biweekly family meeting.

Biweekly family meeting kind of makes me want to bash my head against something, to be honest. I mean, seriously. I have enough meetings at my dayjob. Please to not be making my personal life any more of a job than it already is.

And, I guess the assurances of straight-ness. We cuddled all night, but there was NO SEX AT ALL. WE ARE TOTALLY NORMAL kthxbai.

But yeah. biweekly family meeting makes me think of camp. and not in a good way.
