Little Annoyances and Zombies!

An update from my last post: The Dodgers found their offense and Andre Ethier hit a home run on Wednesday! His at-bats have looked better so I hope that means he's out of the slump. The Lakers won Tuesday and then won Game 7 last night!

In other news, life really has been throwing the little annoyances my way lately.

I know I'm easily annoyed but some of these things ... I mean, people do have brains right? It's just lack of thinking or lack of common courtesy that really manage to get to me. Lately, it seems like it's running rampant though. It makes me an unhappy Bunny. Sad day.

Speaking of brains, I also finally have gotten around to reading World War Z! I got it for Christmas, but I got a lot of books for Christmas and have just gotten around to starting it this week.


Holy frijoles, Batman, this book is scary! It's not a typical zombie slasher kind of book. The reason it is so scary is that I could actually see some of this happening! The governments trying to cover their tracks to keep other governments from finding out about the initial infections, the unexpected countries using nukes, the panic in comfort-driven America - it is written in a way that seems incredibly plausible. 


I'm enjoying the book but, I'm not gonna lie, I have had a couple crazy zombie dreams and one borderline nightmare. Normally I'm not into scary books or movies. I'm naturally jumpy so I don't like to be scared, but this book is just good and I keep reading it.

I recommend it for zombie believers, thrill readers (is that the term for people who like reading thrillers?) and those looking for something interesting and different (with loads of political commentary weaved in).

As for my zombie theory ... I just wonder whether or not computers will rise against us before it happens. One of the two is kind of bound to happen eventually with our obsession with technology and medical science. Here's a wonderful (but kind of old) PSA for those of you who don't have a zombie plan. You need one and the people at Rooster Teeth have created the best PSA out there via the awesome Web show Red vs Blue.



I've got my zombie plan, do you?

PS. Red vs Blue is amazing.

This is Why I Love Baseball Players

Russell Martin being a Badass

That's badass. I love how casually Russell Martin throws it.

I really hated the weekend series with the Angels. It sucks to lose to them. Angel fans, for the most part, are pretty annoying so that did suck.

Overall, I'm not too worried about the Dodger offense, but I am a little worried about Andre Ethier. His first at-bat was just ... weird. He swung his hardest at two really, really bad pitches to strike out. Andre hardly ever swings at pitches like that! It worries me because he's the type of player that is a true perfectionist.

We all knew he wouldn't likely be hitting near .400 all season but this slump he's in since he's returned from the DL seemed to have really gotten to him over the weekend. He wasn't the patient Andre Ethier with one of the most gorgeous swings I've ever seen; he was ... someone else. I don't know who, but it was pretty bad. I just hope the day off yesterday did him some good.

I hope it did all the Dodgers some good. They're such a fun team to watch so it's difficult to watch a series like the one against Anaheim where nothing seems to work.

Then again, it's a long season and there are definitely going to be some bumps in the road along the way. It's just unfortunate one of the Dodgers' had to be against the Angels. Sad day.

Anyways, my last post was quite a rant so I figured I'd go out on a lighter note today. Hope the Lakers and the Dodgers win tonight!
