1. In writing, I think of that lawsuit against Stephenie Meyer for basically having a wedding night described in her book (or something of that nature). There really is nothing new under the sun and the likelihood of another person coming up with similar ideas is too great to get up in arms about it. I think ego plays a big role in these lawsuits. People must think they're so clever that no one else could have possibly imagined the same thing at some point.
2. It is weird to think about it and honestly, I didn't until about September or November. It just suddenly occurred to me that this past May marked 14 years since her passing.
3. I've had some Dagoba bars in the 90% range that were quite enjoyable. Very brittle and not the least bit creamy but very good and chocolaty. I'm the same way with milk chocolate. It has to be very, very good to impress me and I'll usually just pass Hershey's or something by without a second thought. If I'm going to ingest the fat and calories, it better freakin' be worth it!
4. I think I'd react the same way. Something about civilization falling apart makes me feel like isolation is the best solution for survival. Screw the mall! If I had a good supply hold (i.e. plenty of ammo and food and water), I think we could defend 10-20 acres fairly well. I'd just build a sniper post on top of the house and shoot anything that shuffles. ;) Land mines might not be a bad idea either. The farther away from any sort city or town our land is, the better. Most of the zombie lore I know of doesn't mention them traveling very far away from civilization. Though I guess natural rules of species would force some of the "smarter" ones to travel outwards as food supplies were depleted (i.e. braaaaaaains).

And. . . I've thought about this way too much. ;)
