A Zombie Near You!

I've always wanted to partake in a ZombieWalk, though apparently I do not run in the correct circles to have ever heard of one being organized, nor have I ever witnessed one by chance. This may have much to do with my chosen geographical location, which is not reasonably close to NYC. However, at work today I stumbled upon this forum devoted to just this topic. Alas, as I do not live near a major metropolitan city, and have yet to find a recent post regarding upstate NY. But if you live in NYC, Philly, Boston or else ware, this site could help you find a Zombie Walk near you.
On a similar note, this is a little too much for me, but check it out for a good laugh. The “Rate” section is totally like HotOrNot for Zombies.

And lastly; Zombies are not green. period.

It's Not My Birthday, But.....

I have dedicated my next post in honor of my all time favorite blog Cakewrecks.
The following are the best Zombie themed cakes I could find.
Enjoy!


We'll start out small. This cupcake is understated, yet adorable.If i could figure out what the hand belongs too, I would make them myself.


Now; You can't mess with a classic. I have nothing more to say.

This next cake is a little heavy on the plastic props, but it gets it's point across. It looks like it might even contain pudding.
A similar effect can be obtained with edible zombies.....mmmm...edible zombies! But this one takes a little more skill.


Eat them before they eat you!


I know what I want on top of my wedding cake, and here it is:Freaking brilliant. I should have thought of this first.


And finally, my favorite. The piece de resistance....
!!!!!!
It's perfect in every way. Friends of mine take note. I want a recreation for my next birthday. The only way this could be better is if it contained some kind of zombie pun...

What you should be doing right now: going to home depot

Now is the time to get your ass to the hardware store and stock up on boards and long nails. Boards and nails are crucial for properly barricading yourself in your home provided you have not secured a zombie fortress beforehand. You don't want to be breaking apart furniture to try to cover those windows. At the risk of sounding like the Dept of homeland security following the anthrax attacks, duct tape is a good things to have around in mass.
Just a note: things with wheels do not make good barricades. I watched Day of the Dead (2008) the other day, and I felt this point was important to make.

AAA Member Discounts

I am the proud holder of a AAA membership (thanks to my mom). For $52 a year, I have the distinct pleasure of waiting on hold for 45 minutes while my car is stuck in 3 feet of snow on my front lawn, only to get disconnected before reaching a human being.
BUT, as I previously knew, but only now felt the need to research, there are other benefits to being a AAA member.

Firstly and most importantly: 10% off at Dunkin Doughnuts. I know this because they openly advertise the discount in the drive thru and at the counter. This is as of yet, the only place I've used my AAA membership....that includes car related issues as well. So far I have saved 60cents on a muffin and orange juice. Score.

So after an epiphany that I could probably save a lot of money, I decided to research other ways to save more pennies.

Disclaimer: these discounts apply to AAA of Western and Central NY.

Wow, right off the bat I see that I could save 20% off Best Buy "services". Looks like that means Geek Squad services. But as a person who spent nearly $700 at Best Buy last week, and frequently breaks electronics, I could see how this is a good thing to keep in mind.

Hmm. Seems there's some kind of mystery discount that applies to the entire Carousel Mall, could be interesting trying to get them to honor that.

Below are listed the discounts I find the least bit likely to be useful:
10% off at Payless Shoes
15% off at NY&Co
10% off at Target.com
$1.00 off at Cold Stone

Barnes and Nobles has some convoluted discount structure.

I don't really understand how all this works, other than people must never take advantage of this. From now on, I'm going hog wild. Oh yeah, I'll keep track of how much I manage to save.

Do Not be in Jail in 2012

Avoid being incarcerated when the zombie apocalypses comes. You're basically fucked if this is the case, because they will leave your ass in there

Would you survive?

Found a quiz online, it's humorous. Bored? Time to kill? Check it out here.

What you should be doing right now

The year 2012 is quickly approaching. If you haven't started active preparation yet, now is the time. What should I be doing this far in advance? you ask yourself. Well, here's the first steps:
1.) Scout out a stronghold. Your zombie fortress should be durable and windowless. Other zombie reference manuals cover what type of fortress you should be seeking, so I will leave that research for you to do on your own.
2.) Go to the gym. No, Seriously. Regular exercise now will build your strength and endurance. Granted this is a little more important if we are talking about fast zombies, rather than slow zombies. But regardless, go to the gym just in case.
