What's your favorite zombie animal?

My husband isn’t nearly as into zombies as I am. He loves The Walking Dead and Zombieland but that’s about where it ends. Occasionally I can talk him into watching a zombie movie with me but unless it’s top notch, Grade A zombie (or involves zombie strippers…long story), he usually ends up playing on his ipad instead of watching. Ooohh the things he’s missing out on.

Recently, I told him he should watch Poultrygeist with me because I want to try to see movies with different types of zombie animals. He said ‘That’s weird.’ and then changed the subject. Haha! I haven’t seen Poultrygeist but I already know he won’t like it…sometimes I just love messing with him. Anyway, back to my point, what do you think of zombie animals? Do you love them like I do or think it’s weird like my husband?

So far I’ve read a book about a zombie goldfish and I’ve seen movies with zombie dogs, a rat type thing, a mosquito, a cat, and a tiger. Can I just tell you how excited I was when that zombie tiger popped up! I think it was the first time I had seen a zombie animal other than a dog. It’s still my favorite zombie animal to date.

Some zombie animals on my ‘to watch’ list are chickens, sheep, a cow, a gorilla, a horse, and a pig. There are also books about zombie hamsters and zombie squirrels that I want to read.

Am I missing any on my list? Which are your favorites?

National Preparedness Month

Did you know that September is National Preparedness Month?

 

It’s the perfect time to prepare for those unexpected situations. I’m a full believer in the phrase ‘anything is possible’ and that’s why I’ve decided to (finally) start compiling an emergency kit for my car. One of my main worries is getting stuck or having an accident in a snowstorm. I live in Pennsylvania and while we don’t get THAT much snow we do get one or two big storms per year.

“One of the worst, if not the worst, traffic accidents in the state's history took place on February 10, 2010 in Clearfield County.  It was actually a combination of accidents that began with the first one reported at 9 AM on the eastbound lanes at mile marker 116 involving 14 trucks and three passenger cars, with additional vehicles crashing until the final one made contact at mile marker 118 which brought the total to 30 trucks and 20 passenger cars.  The crash originated when two tractor-trailers jackknifed at mile marker 118, blocking both lanes and forcing the vehicles behind to collide with those two trucks.  The lone fatality was the driver of a vehicle that ran into the side of one of the trucks near mile marker 116.  Approximately 100 emergency responders had to access the site by traveling west in the eastbound lanes, and were on the scene for five hours.  Due to the enormity of the accident, some of the travelers had to be tended to at the scene then transported via Clearfield County-owned all-terrain vehicles to the locations of the ambulances.  Interstate 80's eastbound lanes were closed from Exit 111 to Exit 120 for 12 hours while debris was cleared.” Text from PaHighways.com

We don’t normally have a significant snowfall until January or February so I have time to work on my kit.

Plastic snow shovel - one already lives in my trunk but as of now that's the extent of my preparation

- Blankets - regular blanket and mylar thermal blanket
- Hand warmers
- Extra winter gloves, hat, etc.
- Water (3-day supply is recommended)
- Food (3-day supply is recommended)
- Flashlight/Batteries
- First Aid Kit

What do you think? Am I forgetting something?

 

Do you have an emergency kit for your house or car? With just a little preparation you will be much better off than the average person in an emergency situation.

Fall Lineup

I don’t know about you but I’m incredibly excited for September! It’s the beginning of what will surely be an awesome zombie filled Fall!
 

First we have the premiere of Z Nation on September 12^th. I’m curious to see how this will stand up against the Walking Dead. Will it be original enough to survive or will die hard WD fans just shake their heads at the attempt? Time will tell. I am going to try to keep an open mind BUT at the same time it would be impossible to not compare the two.

Then there’s WALKING DEAD SEASON 5!!!! How WILL they fair against the Termites! I don’t know but I’m hoping for a bloody and action filled season. You better believe I will be tuned in October 12^th...and every Sunday after that!

Lastly, CW is going to be airing a drama, crime zombie show. iZombie, if I understand correctly, will premiere mid fall but I haven’t found a specific date yet. It will be about a zombie doctor who works at a morgue to have access to um ‘food’. She absorbs memories from said ‘food’ and uses them to solve homicides. It should be interesting to say the least.
