Seven ate Nine!
1. Berry fireworks
2. zombie movies
3. Nola and Pat watch movies together
4. Prosecco Brains
Return of the Living Dead: funny, meta, with smart, fast zombies that cannot be stopped
Worst/Most Boring:
The Quick and the Undead: Everyone in the room fell asleep during it
Movie That Really Wasn't What We Expected:
Zombies Anonymous: NOT A COMEDY, more of a heavy-handed parable about racism and drug abuse (although there were one or two funny parts, and out of all the low-budget ones, this was the best)
Weirdest:
Cemetary Man: you'll have to see it to get how weird this was
Honorable Mention:
Boy Eats Girl: Cute little Irish Zombie movie.
Side Note:
Zombie movies seem to be only 30%ish percent about zombies. Mostly they're about people interacting with other people, often violently.
Gary Busey murders most of a family having lunch in a diner. The surviving daughter testifies against him. He goes to the electric chair. They mail his ashes back to his mother.
With me so far?
The mother bakes the ashes into an evil gingerbread man and unleashes him on the world to seek revenge.
Oh yeah.

These are the old brake pads from my car. The one on the right has the brake completely worn off. The metal of the...thingee that holds the pad is worn down and deeply grooved. See those dark circles? They're where the actual pad used to be. The left most pad is also badly worn down but not as scarily.
We didn't have the money to get it fixed so I was very gingerly driving it around. Our friend Alex was awesome and replaced the worn down ones for us.
I post this because things that are extraordinary, even/especially extraordinarily stupid, should be put out for public consideration.
(Hail Asphaltia, by the way)
(Tiny just sat on my lap and macbook, almost completely covering my keyboard and hands. And now he's asleep. So maybe I won't write so much. Ack, now here's Nola on me too. I am cat-slave.)

No one at my work has swine flu, just another variety of flu. People are still dropping like flies though.
I'd really like it if it could be summer now. Specifically, I'd like it to be warm. I can deal with the rain; I cannot deal with wearing a long-sleeved shirt to work in June. I'm still sleeping under heavy blankets every night. I hope its warmer in Maryland.
Tonight I make pinatas.
About half the full-time people at my job are out sick with a flu, plus some number of the part-timers. Someone fainted in the breakroom and had to go the hospital. Many others went home early or never came in.
So far, I'm feeling fine -- although now I'm starting to become paranoid about my lightheaded/headachey feeling. That feeling is really probably due to being in the area while my sister got an IV put in. Even thinking about needles/IV makes me lightheaded, nauseous, and headachey.
Being in the hospital as the "designated driver" for my sister also has my paranoia going full throttle. I'm waiting to pickup something on top of whatever might already be lurking.
But! So far, no sick
You are all awesome.
But I'm sad and *lonely* right now. So I post.
There isn't a lot of food in the house right now. And there's practically no money to buy more. Didn't eat very much today.
Work was very frustrating today. I had to stay an hour-and-a-half over my normal time, just cleaning up after others. And there were many customers who were very angry.
I came home hoping to find someone who might have an idea for how to get some food or at least someone to commiserate with. Instead everyone in my house is asleep and all the lights are off. As if I wasn't expected to be coming home.
So now I'm very hungry, very tired, and pretty damn sad.
Sorry to be sad and dumpy, livejournal land.
It got stronger and lighter.
Then, I got out of the shower, and the world had gone dark. Thunder and lightning and heavy rain.
Hoo-ray. If only I didn't have to leave for work now.
I'm looking for movie suggestions, particularly funny ones or ones that come at the genre from a different angle.
I'll be posting the full schedule with approximate times in about a week.
Does anyone have any suggestions for some cheap camp food?
