Running Crazy

So this week has been kinda nice at work. I am very busy and so the time is actually movig fairly quickly. I took a break this morning (boss says in my review that I need to take more breaks... not something I am willing to disagree with). So on this break I started searching for "Squishy Cat" just wanted to see what I might find.

So I run across this:

All Flesh Must Be Eaten

So last year a coworker of mine opened up an RPG night using a Zombie RPG called "All Flesh Must Be Eaten" it was a riot we had a blast. Well I recently picked up a copy and since I am in Zombie Movie mode it seemed like a good idea to get the group together and run a campaign. I have forgotten how much goes into being a DM or in this case a ZM (Zombie Master) hehe. We will see how it works out.

Pandora Music

So thanks to a friend I found this new website:

www.pandora.com

This is an interactive site where you can choose what kind of music you listen to. Simply set up a station and type in a Singer or song you like. The program will do the rest. If you type in "Madonna" for example it will play pop/rock, lots of 80s, etc.

The more info you give it the smarter it gets. If you don't like a cong it plays simply tell it and it will minimize how often the type of song is played. I have been using Yahoo Launchcast which is similar, but this is a different system. This will play songs that may not have been a top 40 song. I have really enjoyed this program.

When you are listening to a song you can ask it "Why did you play this song?" This is what it told me about Toby Keith's "As Good As I Once Was"

Based on what you've told us so far, we're playing this track because it features country roots, acoustic rhythm piano, mixed acoustic and electric instrumentation, major key tonality and many other similatiries identified in the music genome project.

So based on this it will play songs that have country roots, acoustic rythym piano... etc.

Very cool.

For you, it's all kiss and no talk.



You're in a permanent lip lock.

Zombies...

So when I was a kid my older brother loved scaring me with Horror Movies. I grew up with all the oldies. On Saturday after the morning cartoons there was a show called "Creature Feature". They had an old man in a Vampire costume who was the host while they played bad B movies.

Well I grew up and got married and my ex-husband didn't like horror so years go by and I miss out.

Now I am divorced and free to watch what I will (I won't go into why I gave up something as silly as Horror movies to stay married) and my older brother and I move in to the same apartment and once again he continues my Zombie education.

Enter "Dawn of the Dead" this masterpiece written by George Romero. The scariest Zombie movie EVER! Why you may ask?

The Zombies RUN! They don't shamble... they don't wander... they RUN... they chase people and are vicious in a way no zombies ever were. This is a whole new world of zombies.

In past zombie movies people were (generally) able to easily out run any zombie... but not in the "Dawn of the Dead" oh no... the zombies are like packs of rabid dogs.

If you have not yet discovered the gory gift that is "Dawn of the Dead" I think you should add it to your NetFlix ASAP.

My First Blog

So recently my friend mentioned that I have a lot to say and too little time to say it in, so I should start blogging. So here I am. :-)
