Checking in.

Okay, so I've been busy making (and eating) bazillions of spring rolls¹, which is most of the reason I haven't posted in a while.  Oh, and I've also been coaxing my seedlings along.  (Well, not so much coaxing as madly attempting to keep up with them and make more and more space for them as it isn't quite time for me to slam them into the ground.  I actually begged the beans to slow down, but then I just gave up, gave them bigger pots and lots of porch railing, and let them go nuts.  They're such ridiculously fast growers that I can always start more for the actual garden.)  So I've been happily busy and away from ye olde laptop.

But after watching Dead and Breakfast last night, I knew I needed to share the trailer -- because we expected just a dumb horror movie² -- and it was such a pleasant (in a really hilariously gory zombie movie way) surprise.  It was a bit like a low-budget Slitherwith musical interludes.  And David Carradine in a bit part.  AND Jeffery Dean Morgan (pitter patter goes my little heart) in a not-so-bit part.  I'm going to have to buy it:

¹I started with the Vietnamese Spring Roll recipe from Molly Katzen's Vegetable Heaven (as well as her Peanut Chili Sauce), but after that first batch, I've just been chucking whatever I want into those wonderful little rice paper wrappers.  Which resulted in me finding a piece of broccoli in my hair yesterday morning.  At work.  Raw, thankfully.

²We've been on a kick -- we watched the original House on Sorority Row³ the night before.  (Which, my coworker informed me yesterday, was remade recently into a very different movie.  But one that I could probably be convinced to watch.  As long as there was beer in the house.)

³Which starred OHMYGOD Eileen Davidson (AKA Kristen DiMera/Sister Mary Moira/Susan Banks/Thomas/Penelope from Days of Our Lives)!  It took me about halfway through the movie to place her, but when I did I had to hit pause in order to provide time to compose myself.
