I'm a well-read individual. I keep up with current events and know a thing or two about history. How come I never heard about this?" <br /><br />That still cracks me up.<br /><br />Anyway, I came across this book in the library and decided to give it a read. I was surprised at how much I liked it. I was never a big fan of horror or zombie movies. I did like <a target="_blank" href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0363547/"><i>Dawn of the Dead (2004)</a></i>, <a target="_blank" href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0365748/"><i>Shaun of the Dead</a></i>, and <i><a target="_blank" href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0480249/">I Am Legend</a></i> (of course) but that was the extent of it. After reading this book however, zombie stories now intrigue me. I have always been a fan of stories that take place after a cataclysm and how people struggle to survive. Zombie stories seem to put a fresh twist on this genre for me. If you haven't read it, I recommend you pick up a copy and give it a go.<br /><br />I am currently reading <a target="_blank" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Zombie_Survival_Guide"><i>The Zombie Survival Guide</a></i> by the same author, Max Brooks. It's pretty good so far. I like that it puts some logic behind the whole fantasy of zombies. It reminds me of the <a target="_blank" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/index.html?curid=2826222"><i>Star Trek: The Next Generation Technical Manual</i></a> which does the same thing for the <a target="_blank" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Enterprise_(NCC-1701-D)">Enterprise</a>. <br /><br />Since I've had zombies on the brain recently (no pun intended), I can't help but see the parallels between the current swine flu outbreak and the impending zombie apocalypse. I recommend mentally switching out the words "swine flu" with "zombie plague" whenever you come across it in the news. It puts an interesting twist on things. <br /><br />Remember, containment is key.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><script expr:src='"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~s/ninjasandnachos?i=" + data:post.url' type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8"></script></div>Patrickhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00842984700973113369noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26690560.post-32983441655447030002009-04-18T00:06:00.006-05:002009-04-18T00:41:11.694-05:00Do you remember these cartoons?<center><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/HMpsAmWbSJg&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/HMpsAmWbSJg&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object><br /><br /><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/M0BzBFWt8V8&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/M0BzBFWt8V8&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object><br /><br /><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/A1c1G24GWDg&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/A1c1G24GWDg&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object><br /><br /><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/mzAQu23t19A&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/mzAQu23t19A&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object><br /><br /><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/pwwhZHERlG4&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/pwwhZHERlG4&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object><br /><br /><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/qXB4wvqCPBU&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/qXB4wvqCPBU&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object><br /><br /><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/mfif5DiGMYc&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/mfif5DiGMYc&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object></center><div class="blogger-post-footer"><script expr:src='"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~s/ninjasandnachos?i=" + data:post.url' type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8"></script></div>Patrickhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00842984700973113369noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26690560.post-73282342885454041412009-04-02T21:19:00.003-05:002009-04-02T21:23:52.119-05:00A Quick Post From Yuppie-ville.Here's the view from our apartment!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_C-1qNpJatZw/SdVyrIWRq3I/AAAAAAAABVg/PKTH8hqdlBM/s1600-h/100_3090.JPG"><img style="display:block;
