PZ Meyers of Pharyngula is really, really dangerous.

Laughing at the angel of death

I'm very lazy. Not pathologically so, but enough that I don't accomplish nearly as much as I probably (okay, definitely) should. I mean, I can't even manage to post a blog entry once a week.

One thing I do instead of post is read Cold Fusion Video, Nathan Shumate's movie and book review site. Aside from my ergophobia, I read it because it's great. Nathan's one of two or three writers I actually laugh aloud at, and the other writers at his site are also really good.

Last week (as I write this) there was no update. Nathan never has unannounced absences. I was curious.

This week, I find out that he had a stroke.

This is a guy who works a day job, and maintains one of the best entertainment sites on the 'net in his spare time, while raising two children. And the net effect of a brain stem stroke on his productivity: he missed one week's updates and suspended his second movie-review column.

And he literally mocked the angel of death in another blog he posts to. It isn't as if it was me doing it, since Nathan is actually religious and presumably believes in a literal angel of death.

So thanks, Nathan: your cerebrovascular accident has served to make one guy feel guilty. Maybe I'll even blog twice a month now.
