"I bought a cactus. A week later it died. And I got depressed, because I thought, Damn. I am less nurturing than a desert."
"It is a truth universally acknowledged that a zombie in possession of brains must be in want of more brains."
page 1, “Pride and Prejudice and Zombies:The Classic Regency Romance—Now with Ultraviolet Zombie Mayhem” by Jane Austen and Seth Grahame-Smith.
I just bought this and I am SO EXCITED to read it!

Just watched it. Easily John Krasinski’s best moment on The Office.

[Spoiler Alert]The evolution of Jim Halpert / a credit to John KrasinskiIt was the final scene of ‘The Office’ season 5 and while you might think the ultimate reveal was a weak note to leave the episode on, or a formulaic path to take the characters down, the scene and the action spoke volumes to me about both the character of Jim Halpert and Krasinski’s spot on portrayal.The sense echoed ‘Casino Night,’ the finale of season 2. Jim reveals feelings to Pam, only to be shot down. In a similar fashion, we see Jim tear up from heartbreak. Jim’s come a long way from there hasn’t he? Through Jim we get to see something rarely portrayed in television, the sentimentality of men and their travels through adulthood. Jim isn’t the man with the gruff exterior chasing down bad guys or cracking a beer open with his buds. He doesn’t need a death or extreme tragedy to cry, which is what generations of boys are conditioned to believe, that they have to be unnaturally stoic or strong.John Krasinski has done an absolute fantastic job with portraying someone that could’ve been boring and managed to make average riveting and entertaining. The writers have done a great job of not making these moments cliché with yells, or primal screams. It was quiet, but managed to be philosophically loud at the same time, if that makes any sense.](http://8.media.tumblr.com/t7Ec3sQSgnhtnomb9CW25N3co1_500.jpg)
