hayes sent me a link to amazon.com and an excerpt from a new collection of haiku written by a zombie, titled appropriately enough, zombie haiku by ryan mecum. holy shit, just the cover alone got me by the boo-boo. looks sorta like a horror movie poster. a little searching and i find mecum's zombie haiku myspace page. zombie poetry is not a new genre. tom beckett has published some brilliant zombie poems. and poet jay snodgrass maintains a collective blog of zombie poetry here. but wow, and hopefully the poems bear out the cover of mecum's book which looks as i say again like an advert for a horror flick. poetry like a horror movie, now there's a concept i can sink my teeth into.

speaking of zombies, i was sick my whole 4-day 4th of july weekend, so i watched all three of the RESIDENT EVIL movies and was surprised to find that they were pretty darned good sci-fi thriller/ horror flicks-- the second was the weakest, but still enjoyable.

if you haven't watched them, you should check them out.

that sucks about being sick, hermano. i've been nursing a cold since friday too and here i am hacking, leaking and feeling rather maladroit. but in a good way.

i've seen bits of all the 'resident evil' flicks except for the most recent one which i think is supposed to use the ruins of las vegas as the primary focus of the action. what i've seen is that they are indeed good genre flicks with some seriously gorgeous actors doing some seriously fucked kung-fu brutal shit. i've seen very cheap dvds of the films at target lately. now, i'm gonna have to pick one up and give these films some serious attention. and i'm serious about the word 'serious'. it's not overused here. the word is seriously rad.
