Weekend Update
Apr. 11th, 2004 04:13 pm( Friday--the Party )
( Saturday--the Liz C )
Over all, great weekend.
Post-Note: After having discussions with a few educated people about this, I have to say that hiding in the freezer or stealing a cruise ship are NOT the appropriate responses to zombie emergency. Trust me on this one---I may not have written the book on zombie crisis responses, but I've read it, cover to cover and back again. Also, no matter what Liz saw in Return of the Living Dead, zombies cannot talk. Honestly, a talking zombie isn't scary, it's ridiculous (it's like how Aragog is mildly threatening but Shelob is a scary-ass bitch because, like zombies, everyone knows that giant spiders can't talk). What would a talking zombie even have to say? It can't feel anything, it doesn't remember anything (making it rather difficult for it to know how to talk in the first place), and, well, I just can't imagine as it would have very stimulating conversational skills. "Graaargh, I ate your brother yesterday." "Oh? Oh, that's, uh...nice. Tell him I said 'grauugghllllln' if you see him"?
