Zombie Documentary

Ok, so I'm a little worried after looking at the TV guide; Nat Geo is airing a documentary about zombies, and I don't know why.

Are the people of Nat Geo aware of something that the rest of us aren't?

Are we about to face a zombie apocalypse?

When I say zombie apocalypse I mean some zombie like pandemic like 28 Days Later showed ... really, it doesn't matter if it's zombies or a zombie like disease really. If something like this is going to happen it doesn't matter if it's real zombies or infected people who are like super angry, super fast zombies. Either way we should be out stock piling weapons to survive the zombie apocalypse.

Or is it because of the recent Judgement Day and all of the talk of the zombie apocalypse surrounding it that has prompted the zombie doco?

Is this doco nothing more than an exploration into the sudden popularity of zombies in pop culture?

I sincerely hope it's nothing more than examining why zombies have suddenly become so popular in recent years. I really don't think I could survive a zombie apocalypse. In fact a facebook quiz I took on the subject said that I wouldn't survive one.

But you can guarantee that I'll be watching The Truth About Zombies to find out why there's a documentary about zombies.

Does This Actually Work?

I assume that most people are familiar enough with facebook to know how friend requests work. So I have no idea why this ad is trying to pretend to be some sort of

spammy slut ad. It's immediately obvious to any fool that it's not a genuine facebook friend request ... and yes, I did click it just to see where it led me.

And I can't imagine that it would get many hits. Once again, I am making assumptions here, but I assume that most people wouldn't click on it just on principal; how good can something be if it has to try and pretend to be a spammy slut ad?

That to me just screams "This product is actually crap! Very crap." And I can't be alone in thinking that.

So, I'm sorry, cupid.com. I'm sure you provide a premium online dating service ... actually, no, I don't. As I've already said, you're ad has convinced me otherwise.

Big Surprise for Me

I'm supposed to be focusing on the story I'm currently working on. But a short attention span and the fact that I was stuffing my face with an early midnight snack has ensured thatI ended up checking out my facebook, twitter and email accounts.

I just don't like typing when I'm eating. I struggle to type effectively one handed, and typing one handed distracts me from my story.

So that's how I ended up reading Tara's latest message to me.

As you've probably guessed, I have a big surprise in store for me;

Maybe Tara is pyschic after all: she seems to have finally read my mind, and has done some special ritual just for me that should greatly change my financial situation and my love life.

Yeah, apparently she's going to be focusing on my love life as well my finances from now on ... and suddenly I'm beginning to doubt Tara's pyschic credibility again.

But still. I should be really greatful for her efforts with this special ritual. It did require a lot of concentration and took hours to complete.

And now I've just got to sit back and wait for that incrediable something to happen to me ... except that this ritual thing is tied in with the Three Secret Formulas of Power, which I need to pay for.

So I'm thinking I'm not going to benefit from the ritual Tara did after all.

Also thinking that maybe Tara isn't quite as good at mind reading as I said she was at the beginning of this.

Oh well. Back to writing my short story.
