Belated Monday Post

So now that LiveJournal decides to work, I'll tell you now what I was going to tell you yesterday.

A) Over the weekend, I went to the movies and watched Paul. It's a really funny British comedy about two SF fans who meet an alien. There are all sorts of sly nods to pop culture science fiction, and the gross-out humor is kept to a minimum. Highly recommended.

B) A while back, I wrote a four-part blog about space colonization. Well, an edited version is available all in one page on my new website.

C) Also over the weekend, I finished reviewing David Patterson's zombies novel Mercy. Think Lost meets The Walking Dead. The formal review will be up on POD People tomorrow.

I'm reposting improved versions of my "Worlds for Man" space colonization essays on Fantastic Worlds, and I'm planning on finishing the series this time around. Here are the ones I've posted already:

"Part 0 - The Sun" http://fantasticworlds-jordan179.blogspot.com/2011/03/worlds-for-man-part-0-introduction-and.html

"Part 1 - Mercury" http://fantasticworlds-jordan179.blogspot.com/2011/04/worlds-for-man-part-1-mercury.html

and

"Part 2 - Venus" http://fantasticworlds-jordan179.blogspot.com/2011/04/worlds-for-man-part-2-venus.html

The following essays are available in their original form on Livejournal:

"Part 3 - Earth" http://jordan179.livejournal.com/27589.html

and

"Part 6 - Ceres"
http://jordan179.livejournal.com/167388.html

It is systematic of my erratic approach to work that I skipped Luna and Mars to talk about Ceres! :)
