Zombies at the Mall (and a Phat sneak peek)
Friday, October 29, 2010 at 3:21PM I've been writing this post in my head since Sunday, and can't wait to get it out there to my blogging groups because I know of a few people who would enjoy it! But today has been filled with Halloween parties and birthday party prep. So now it's almost 4 and I need to start cooking, but here I am writing to all of you!
Happy Fiber Arts Friday and Crafty Friday!
I'm a big Anita Blake fan. Love the Buff. Can't wait for Karen Marie Moning's next book. And have seen everything by Joss Whedon (except Firefly which is in my Netflix queue, but including Dr. Horrible's Sing Along Blog!). I'm terribly sad that I missed the Phat Fiber group's Ravelry "Surviving a Zombie Apocolypse" swap. But cheer myself up with another viewing of "Zombieland."
If you know what I'm talking about, we must be kindred spirits. If you don't, my best friend Petra has a book and movie list for you (she rolls her eyes at all this stuff).
As an aside, I know this doesn't really fit in with my Christian beliefs, but it's a vice I'm aware of and am working through.
So there's my street cred. I have a dark side that I keep quiet, but my spirit rejoices when I find another zombie/vampire/Faye/Highland Berserker fan. However, I don't live out my dark obessions like some people, and that may put me at a disadvantage when I encounter something like this in my mall parking lot:
Wow. I know.
So here's where I'm at. . . I thought I was up on all my sub-culture dark stuff, but what is this? Is this a group I'm not familiar with (gasp!) or some individual who lives out their fantasy life a little too much?
It's pretty awesome, but when we (my boys and I) peeked into the back seat, there's actually a slaying kit in there!!! No kidding. They had a large canvas bag (maybe for the bodies?), an ax, a shovel and a gun case. That's when we continued walking into the mall and made sure no one saw me taking pictures!
However . . . since the response vehicle was at the mall, were we walking into our own zombie apocolypse?!!! Next time I go shopping, maybe I need to bring some salt and a little voodoo with me!
On a fiber-y note, I'm participating in the Phat Fiber box for the first time ever this November. All my samples are done, and here's a sneak peek:
The theme is Seasons of Light. I'll have pictures of the actual samples in a week or two; closer to when the videos are done.
I can't wait to hear what everyone's take is on the zombie outbreak response vehicle, or to be educated on this group!!!
Have a Happy Halloween!!!

Ooo, pretty and shiny. That Zombie Response Vehicle made me laugh. Thanks for sharing
Probably a Halloween prank, but pretty funny. Can't say I'm a huge fan of that genre, but I recently watched Zombieland and really enjoyed it:)
I don't roll my eyes. I put on that understanding silly smile. You know, I have my dark side(s) too. Even though it doesn't necessarily include zombies. I don't think we have zombies in Europe. Have to check with my brother, I am sure he would know. Shall I start avoiding mall from now on?
Bwahahahahaha! Love it when I see people having fun with life. Glad you got a little zombie dose in your day. The colors on your batt are beautiful.
Thanks everyone for joining in the fun! Hope you all had a great Halloween!
Petra--I guess I should have said "internal eye rolling" ;) And yes, there are zombies in Europe; well, off the top of my head, at least in England. Maybe they can't swim? BUT, I know you have vampires. Be Ware!!!
Yup, avoid the mall at all cost. There are weirder things than zombies there!
