2. I'm having dreams about an elderly black woman...
She's 106 years old and still bakes her own bread. She wants me to come to Hemingford Home and bring all my friends.

3. R.F.? No, he prefers to maintain a low profile
I did, however, think I heard the faint echo of run-down bootheels clocking away into the distance late last night.

11. Well, given how the tv talkers are obsessing, it might be an interesting time to read it
Even if it is a b***h to get the sniffles at the same time.

25. Yeah, the actor that played Randall Flagg didn't get it right.
I like the Marvel Comics Randall Flagg much better - see the post below with the illustrations...

Like I said, Randall Flagg is supposed to be nightmare fuel, and the miniseries didn't pull it off.

17. Here's the Walking Dude now....




Check out Marvel Comic's adaptation of "The Stand". It's great stuff. It's based on the full version and will take 30-35 issues to tell the tale, broken down into mini-series.

The first, "Captain Trips" was 5 issues. The second and current mini-series "American Nightmares" is on issue 2 right now.

19. I picked up the first miniseries hardcover.
Damned awesome comic!

Probably the best depiction of Randall Flagg yet! Total nightmare fuel!

23. I've been buying them issue by issue.
Can't wait for the collections. I'm anxious to see thier interpretation of Tom Cullen. And I just realized we still haven't even seen Mother Abigail yet.

26. I just heard he's up the road from me in Maine.
This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends
Not with a bang but a whimper.
