Killing Time

I finished World War Z. It was definitely a good book and only caused two zombie nightmares! Once again, I recommend it. It's entertaining and creepily immaginable. I've never been in to zombie stuff all that much (other than playing Left 4 Dead and Left 4 Dead 2 on my X-box) but I really did enjoy it.

In other news, I've been listening to the Roosterteeth podcast The Drunk Tank the last month or so. I really like it. I was first introduced to Red vs Blue in 2006 or so and have pretty much been watching ever since (not always regularly but I manage to catch up) but I'd never really checked out the other stuff they do.

It's good stuff. I subscribe to a couple podcast but don't listen to/watch many regularly but this one makes me want to look for more good ones. Suggestions are appreciated.

I've also been thinking I might try doing one with my niece. She's said before she wants to be a voice actress, but since moving in with us she hasn't done much with it. When she was at her grandma's she was really into voice acting online and I know she wants to but she feels bad using my computer for it. I figure if we do this it'll get her back into it without feeling guilty while also giving her something to do over the summer. Apparently 16-year-olds need entertainment occasionally. I wouldn't mind just trying it out either. Honestly, I've always kind of wanted to try voice acting or being on radio or something to that effect but have never done so. I've been told I have a nice voice over the phone so if this goes well enough maybe I can get a glimpse of what it's like. 

I need something creative to do anyways. My jobs aren't exactly "stimulating".

I can't think of anything else to say right now. I have more but I don't want to make a gigantic post, like usual. So adios!

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.
