Somewhere between Temple City and Nevada Landing, though, the Fifth Veil has fallen. Vegas lights the sky with empty promises; the sodium glow of the streetlamps is the gilt on this Temple. Sometime before dawn, the Seventh Veil will float to the floor on the other side of the Utah border, and we’ll be more than halfway home.

Tonight, NovySan and I watched The Night of the Living Dead (in which our black hero survives the zombie apocalypse, only to be shot in the head by a reneck sheriff).

Now, I want to write a horror movie in which the only victims are slender, intelligent white men.

Who’s with me?

(Though I did have quiche for lunch, if you know that joke.)

I’ll be back tomorrow, with a missing-child mystery for you to solve, and a bit of background on your (not particularly) humble correspondent.

Until then, my lovelies, good night.

And so we’re at Quantum of Solace, after an Italian supper served up by a scar-faced Guatemalan, with a side of irritating and misinformed attorney.

It’s gonna be a great evening!

Edit: There is actually some context for the above post. When I suddenly announced, at not-quite-midnight, that I’d forgotten to blog, and jumped out of bed to get my phone (because I’d just shut down my laptop and didn’t want to reboot), NovySan muttered, “NaBloPoMo. NaBloPoMo. All it ever leads to is a bunch of pantsless blogging! And now you’re blogging pantsless from your phone!”
