I started watching the show “iZombie” about Liv, a medical resident who becomes a zombie and starts working in the medical examiner’s office for access to brain. I’m not a zombie-anything fan, but this has crime drama, which is right up my alley. On an episode, someone asked Liv why she was so pale and she […]
You Have Not Been Left Behind
