Stuff Actually
After Sam told me about the “stuff and things” jokes going around, I finally saw the episode where Rick says that to Lori. And I laughed for about 80 hours. Approximately.
Before the Zombie Apocalypse, had the characters of The Walking Dead never heard of the concept of Zombies?
Is that a general conceit that is made in zombie movies/shows? Because if they had heard of zombies from pop culture (the way we all have) wouldn’t they be calling them Zombies instead of Walkers, Geeks, Lame Brains, etc?
Does anyone have any insight on this? Is the Walking Dead universe one where Zombies are not a part of pop culture? Is this something the writers have commented on?
I almost didn’t care about this until I saw Krang. That detail really made this work for me.

The Anatomy of the Heart
I took Chandler with me on a run today. I started running this week for the first time in years. I hate running for the sake of running. But the other day I was pushing Chandler in his stroller and said, “Hey, let’s go FAST!” and started running with him. After about two house lengths I said, “That’s enough.”
I used to an athlete. The first half of my life was nothing but sports. I’m not ready to be someone who can’t run the length of two houses. But like I said, I hate running just for the sake of running or working out. So I am running to prepare myself for the following possible events:
1. Zombie Apocalypse
2. Alien Invasion
3. I become a major celebrity and adorning fans chase me everywhere I go.
BOOMER!!!!
I’ve never really gotten into the whole Zombie craze. They always seemed really boring to me. But after seeing Zombieland (and Shaun of the Dead before that) they seemed more entertaining. Nothing like a good comedy to get me interested in something.
I had seen trailers for Left4Dead 2 and they made the game look pretty sweet. I love me some good first person shooting. So I bought it this week and put in a decent chunk of time playing. Here’s what I’ve learned so far:
- You HAVE to stick together!
- I’m more of a shotgun guy.
- Hitting a zombie with the butt of your rifle is extremely satisfying.
- When the real Zombie Apocalypse comes, we better hope “friendly fire” is turned off.
- Video games about zombies turn me into a zombie.
