I can't think of anything clever to preface this with, so I'll just say it: we've been asked to cover Senator Ryman's presidential campaign! We'll be the primary journalists on the campaign: full access, traveling with the Senator, meeting and interviewing him, his family, friends, rivals, everyone. Oh my god, this is going to be the most amazing thing EVER! Gotta go pack; Georgia says we're leaving in three days and I want to get one more walkabout in before I end up riding a bus for a few months.

We went down to San Diego today to do some sight-seeing and meet up with some other friends who are in the "prodding the undead with sticks" business. Ended up getting a tour of some of the nastiest, most z-infested sections of what used to be downtown SD. Got a little ugly here and there, but we made it out ok. [Sister's note: by the skin of our teeth, because somebody wouldn't quit snapping pictures and run for his life] Anyway, pictures!

These hipster zombies always make me laugh. I like to imagine they were in the middle of telling someone about some terrible band that only five people had ever heard of when the other person Z'd out and went straight for the nearest source of irritation. Finally, my favorite of the trip:

She's kinda cute, for one of the ravenous undead.

Just barely got the gates closed behind us today. I snapped this picture as my sister was dragging me inside. No clue how that dog is still alive; maybe they're confused by his scent? Something to investigate later...
