Numbered post: Music, Men, and LDTK

1. I found this via Mosellegreen, an internet friend, and I love it: All My Internet Friends.
There are those who say I spend a little too much time online
Sometimes I agree, but on the whole I think I’m doing fine
Click, buzz
I feel strong because
All my internet friends are here with me


2. I've had an interesting suggestion that I set up an author page at CoverDoll, which probably does make sense.

3. Also, the 2009 Men on a Mission Calendar is on sale, for anyone who might be interested.

ZOMBIES

I am having a sudden craving for zombies (that came out wrong--I don't mean as canapes or anything; I'm just in the mood to watch zombie movies and read zombie fiction). This must be a side effect of missing North American Halloween.

So, dear people, I will be immeasurably grateful for zombie commentfic, even if it is only a sentence or two long. I particularly like real person zombies: Ayn Rand, Vladimir Putin, Sarah Palin. Okay, it is admittedly difficult to picture Sarah Palin as a zombie, but I can totally picture as the plucky heroine defending her Alaskan town from, say, zombie!Putin. SOMEONE WRITE THAT.

Doctors

I've started looking for vintage medical ads, and covers from vintage romances featuring doctors and nurses. No, this isn't just because I'm hopped up on pain pills as I try to wean myself off caffeine, although I can't deny that that might be a factor.

LJ's vintage_ads community posts these from time to time. Like this post, full of pharmaceutical goodness. I'm particularly intrigued by Placidyl; from what I can tell, it made you dress funny and then knocked you flat-out unconscious.

And Mornidine, a drug so powerful it caused you to cook breakfast.

Oh, and vintage ads featuring doctors, though advertising non-medical products, would also suit my purposes. Like those Camel Cigarette ads.

(The probable source of most of the vintage ads seems to be Whispering Ibis' collections on Flickr: set two doesn't have exactly what I need, but is still entertaining; set one is just perfect.)
