  • When Zombies Attack

    I had this bizarre dream about zombies last night, though that's not surprising since I discovered two zombie webcomics last night before I went to bed. The first, Kristy Vs. the Zombie Army, is kind of nonsensical anime-ish "crap." Eh, it's okay, but I prefer the realistic kind of webcomic, not one with talking pandas and weird guys with chainsaw cat swords and an afro with two points like horns. Yeah, amusing springs to mind, if it's said with a hint of sarcasm. The other webcomic, The Zombie Hunters, is actually very good. The art is impressive, even if it is also partially inspired by anime, but you can tell the artist is very talented, and the story is very good as well.

    So back to the dream I had, apparently there was this guy who faked his own death so that his mother could collect the insurance money, but then he moved into her basement to hide out. People saw him and thought he was a zombie. Then for some reason, he started killing people and hiding them in the attic or basement and various other places (the people who saw him when he was supposed to be dead? -maybe), but these people really did come back as zombies and people saw them trundling all over the place as well. They only came after him though. Even when he was with other people in the basement and they blocked off one of those hanging plastic flap-doorways with nothing but a piece of cardboard and an old schooldesk, when the zombies got through, they only went after the guy who killed them. He ended up jumping off the roof to get away and broke his neck on a half-wall that surrounded the property.

    You know.... this would make a great movie. Heh I've seen worse. Heck, I've *liked* worse. lol Honestly I think this fascination I have with Zombies is a reflection of my employment. heh

    I bought a new winter coat yesterday for $30. It's corduroy and "furry" inside like a nappy old teddy bear. hehe I haven't bought a new winter coat in about seven years. The last time I got one, I was in New Hope and got a great deal ($65 for a $200 coat) on a long waterproof coat that made me feel like Indiana Jones. Seriously, all I needed was the ratty hat. Technically there's nothing wrong with my Indiana Jones coat except for some fraying at the cuffs, but my family keeps complaining about the smell. Luckily, one of my coworkers said he'd take it, so I don't feel entirely wasteful. He doesn't mind the smell. I don't think it smells so bad myself. I mean, my mother smokes, and I think she often smells worse than my coat. Go figure. Considering I have problems with "harmless" smells like perfume and coffee, and my coat (usually) didn't bother Me, I think everyone was over reacting. Oh well. 

    In other news, I found a mystery subscription from "True Feed" when I came online this morning. It turns out it's something new Xanga is trying out. Apparently, I and a couple hundred other bloggers are the "best of Xanga." Not sure what that means, but it's nice in a paranoid, "what's gonna happen now" kind of way. lol I wonder how many active bloggers there actually are on Xanga and what percentage was chosen for this honor, and how was I even chosen? Was it based on posts, comments, footprints, tags, blogring membership, search engine hits, spelling, random good fortune, what??? Just how exclusive is this True Feed? And what, if anything, will I be required to do to stay on their good side...?

    The Japanese Star festival is a nighttime celebration, giving thanks to the stars influencing human fate. The master of the house offers prayers to the star that governed his birth and then lights one hundred eight small lamps on a special altar. Each son in the household also offers prayers to the star of his birth, relighting three lamps as the lamps of his father go out. The brightness of the flames dictates the outcome of the year.

    The Narvik Sun Pageant is a festival held in Norway in honor of the Sun Goddess, Sunna. The festival begins at dawn and continues until evening shadows darken the sky.

  • i think zombies must be in the air. i've been singing the song zombie by the cranberries over and over for the past couple of days. and there's a guy at work that was bugging me about zombie movies. personally im feeling like a zombie lately but that's just because of work too. i wasn't chosen for this true feed. what's it all about?

  • that dream you described does sound like it would make a good movie.

    that was very funny how you described the inside of your coat too...a nappy teddy bear! lol

  • To stay on Xanga's good side? Get a Xanga tattoo. LOL You deserved the award, my dear. You are one of a kind!

    Your dream sounds like a good novel premise. ;)

  • RYC:  Har har.  I love it.  I made an appropriate groan-y giggle

  • i had four of those little lines on my pinky alone. what would the pinky indicate? i had them on some of the others too but mostly on my little pinkies.
