A new Monday morning

Didn't get much work done on TPZ last week. Only about 14K words. Was a little too busy with my day job and just ran out of daylight. It's at a total of 69K words right now so I s'pose if I really hammered it out I could do it but I anticipate work being busy this week so not sure if I'll have the time or not. I can only but try!



I finished World War Z again last week. The first time I read it I checked it out of the library and I finally went back and bought it and read it. Max Brooks definitely came into his own with this. I like the essential story and the points that are brought up. My only bone of contention is that I wish there were one cohesive story to bind it all together instead of what felt like reading a bunch of shorts. I've never been a fan of the interview style and that's what this essentially is. I know what he was going for here but feel it could have been so much more.
Saw Wolverine this weekend. It was a good flick but I can't say I was too impressed with it. It had a lot going for it but it felt kind of flat. There were so many cool mutants in it but other than Wolverine, Gambit and Deadpool we didn't even get any of their names. I was never a big comic book person but it seemed like you as the viewer was just supposed to know who everyone was. Oh well, at least my wife enjoyed Wolverine's nekkid scene :)
