regala_electraFirst of all, I would like to let y'all know that I have WON the old car game of "find the most out of state license plate." HAWAII, bitches.
That's right. I was driving home from work (and mind you, I live in NEW YORK) and I saw a car with HAWAII plates.
How did that car get here? Why is it here? I do not care.
I win. :-)

We even saw Guam, once. :D

Date: 2006-06-27 12:38 am (UTC)Zombies are just awesome! I'm totally totally scared by them and always wonder if I would survive a zombie outbreak, heh. But the scariness is that delightfully creepy sort, where it's like your friends, and neighbours, who end up trying to eat your brains. The best part of zombie movies is the beginning when the outbreak is just starting, and things are getting sort of weird, and I just love that set-up. I watched the remake of Dawn of the Dead, which wasn't particularly good but it had this great extra feature that was a faux-newscast of the entire zombie epidemic, and I was gleeful.
You can set up lots of great situations with zombies, too - fortresses and sieges and the mentality that goes along with it. Usually someone inside ends up going crazy and then the zombies get in and it all goes to hell. I'm fascinated by the psychological dynamics. There's a Jack Harkness crossover ficathon going on and one of my requests was Jack/Cordelia from BtVS holed up in a mall during a zombie epidemic. It writes itself! It's always a good set-up.
And plus, they can be funny. Shawn of the Dead's one of the funniest things I've ever seen. There was apparently a Zombie Gathering in SF a while ago where people shambled about the streets, and chased a trolley car yelling "trains, traiiiins!" That, my friend, is comedy gold. And I played this online text-based zombie game for a long time, and we all had loads of laughs with it. Zombies = fun. Except when they eat your brain. Or when it gets gory because I watch these movies with my hands over my eyes for half of it. I can't stand slasher flicks and am horrified by horror, but I love zombies and werewolves so I always watch those movies, and then I don't sleep that night. :D
To conclude...finally...if you haven't seen this, you simply must: Nine and a Half (http://astrogirl2.livejournal.com/339061.html) - it's ZOMBIE DW FIC ZOMG YAY!

Date: 2006-06-27 01:46 am (UTC)Zombie fic! I don't know whether to click or run away!
I bought the Zombie Survival Guide beause I am a loser. I learned that I am doomed to die because I refuse to cut my hair short to prevent zombies from latching on and then biting me to zombieness.
It is also really a depressing read, despite its useful information.
And for weeks, I was terrified of being attacked by a zombie in the basement at work and had to plot to escape.
The only thing better than a zombie is a zombie pirate.

Date: 2006-06-27 02:40 am (UTC)My sister gave me the Zombie Survival Guide as a present, I haven't read it yet but aha, my short hair is saving me!
(I totally have plans for zombie survival. Doesn't work where we are on the ground floor now, though. Before we were on the third floor of a big apartment building and always had cans of food. I figured we were safe enough, heh).
A swashbuckling zombie pirate? HURRAH!

Edward II
no subject
Date: 2006-06-27 12:28 am (UTC)Edward II is a late-16th-century play by Christopher Marlowe (a.k.a. GAY ATHEIST SPY!!!), based on the life of the 14th-century monarch. King Edward has a wife and a son, but he doesn't really go for the ladies, if you know what I mean, and I think you do (the prince in Braveheart, if you've seen that, is supposed to be the same guy). He takes a lover, which pisses people off--not because the king is OMG Teh Gay but because he keeps giving his lover, who is not noble, lots of promotions and stuff. That's what I love about it, how it inquires into the transfer of power and the way people climbed their way up the social ladder in the Renaissance and how, in an age when only men (almost) had power and could pass that power on to others, male friendship (sexual or not) was considered really dangerous. And then his wife gets fed up, tosses him in prison, and takes over, and he's killed by having a hot poker shoved up his ass. Early modern fun for the whole family!

Date: 2006-06-27 12:01 pm (UTC)Did you ever see that Disney movie 'The Gnome-mobile' (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0061715/)? It was amazing. Prime camp. I think it really shaped my childhood. If only because i couldn't get the theme song out of my head for like seven years. In it we learned that gnomes are peace-loving simple forest creatures, who want only to be left in peace in their redwood homes. And their mating ritual includes greasing the male gnome with soap. I kid you not. How could you not love gnome culture after that?
Did you know there's an entire society for the preservation of gnomes and gnome values? The International Gnome Club (http://www.gnomereserve.co.uk/club/). They publish a quarterly newsletter with gnome stories, art, and general gnome love. Sometimes everyone feels like a gnome, you know? You just want to hide in your hole and be left alone with your environment and your stuff and be a little mysterious.
Gnome love, man. Gnomes before hos.

The dollhouse of my dreams is probably close to 50 - 60 grand at this point, so I don't think it will ever be mine. But here's a pic in case I win the lottery: "The Megler House by Noel Thomas" (http://www.thomasopenhouse.com/megler.html)
