"The car is making funny sounds when it's not running."
"Like what sounds?"
"Like it ate something it didn't agree with?"
[skeptical]: "Yeah, okay, dude."

I went to the nearest Barnes & Noble and awkwardly explained to someone at the help desk that I had a new book out and asked where it might be (it's genre fluid) and it was faced out (!) Then she took some pictures, had me sign their books, and said they'd already sold a copy. A win/win/win.

"A far-out premise, and Keaton doesn't shy away from it: this is a wacky, entertaining, occasionally terrifying story. The writing is light and breezy on the surface but with dark undercurrents that keep the reader just a little bit off-kilter. If that sounds like great fun, you're right."

Watching Final Reckoning and wondering who was clamoring for the triumphant return of Guy Who Shit Himself from the first movie.

Night walk tonight and one of the cars still has the dome light on. Strong battery! On the edge of my seat for tomorrow.
