I’m going to be wrecked, tomorrow night!

Pass me the caffeine!

*        It’s tiring, Anne: but going well enough.   I’ll be a wreck, tomorrow afternoon, though!   I’ve seen Books of Blood.   It’s good.   But not as good as Midnight Meat Train!   (You might want to wander through my movie posts: I’d love to hear your thoughts on any you’ve seen!)

†        Isn’t it always the way, Debbi?   😀   Oh, The Cooler’s up next, so you know.   (Actually, I’m finishing off The Final Reflection.   It’s worth a serious read: although I don’t think the audio does it any justice!)
