STAY AWAY! You're all diseased!

At least... everyone I know is diseased. My entire office is sick. I am the sole 'survivor' at this point. A couple of my family members work at the same place and so now most of my family is sick too.

I told them all to stay away. I've been pounding OJ like water, taking my vitamins, and generally trying not to breathe too much around anyone. I'm only 3 weeks away from the half marathon. I can't afford to mess up my training schedule right now.

In other news...

I read Guillermo del Toro/Chuck Hogan's "The Strain" this weekend, which is the first book in a trilogy that won't be finished until 2011. It's about vampires... that are also zombies. ZOMBIE FREAKIN' VAMPIRES!!! <---- I support this.

I also saw "Funny People", which was about... funny people. Go figure.

Nice job on the OJ/vitamin obsession. I was sick all last week, actually all last month, and I am starting to feel better just now. Maybe you should invest in those nifty month masks. Or just go steal a few from your local hospital! On another note, interesting book! Zombie vampires. As if one wasn't scary enough, let's pair them together! :) I am all about good books though, so kudos.

LOL I wish the pic was bigger. I'm actually curious to see what the text states is inside.

Have you read "The Zombie Survival Guide: Complete Protection from the Living Dead" by Max Brooks? I hate when everyone around is sick! I take the same precautions. Emergen-C and all that. I read once that the happier you are, the less likely you are to get sick. I've never forgotten that. Seems to hold true for the most part. Haven't been sick in almost a year...hope I didn't just jinx myself! Good luck to fighting it!

Oh, how did you like "Funny People"? I kind of want to see that. 
03 Aug 09 by member: FakePlasticLala
I was kind of surprised by how much I liked it. I'd recommend it. Oh, and I have read "The Zombie Survival Guide". 
03 Aug 09 by member: Divided By Zero
Sweet!! I want to see it. I read that, too. I figured you would have as well.

Have you read World War Z by the same guy? It's good too.

I haven't read "WWZ" yet. I've got an insane backlog of books (and games) I need to get through. I'm safe so far. I ran again this morning and haven't let out a cough or sneeze yet.

WWZ is REALLY good. I really think you'd like it.

A summer flu at the office? Hmm. Perhaps they have H1N1 (the dreaded swine flu)! One easy way to check... see if they break out in rashers!

@wintersmith I haven't heard that one and it is HILLARIOUS. Like seriously, laughing very hard... not sure why itls so funny. But awesome.

Sean of the Dead was hi-effing-larious but that's where my zombie interest ends. I have this friend though who is utterly obsessed. He has an awesome sniper rifle and actual survival kit... just in case.

LOL I need to make one of the survival kits to display in my house. "In case of zombie -- break glass"

Thank you, MelbaA. You are the second person to think that was funny. :) As for Zombie Survival Kits, I thought of an easy one. Put a cigarette in a test tube with a cork stopper. "In Case of Zombie Attack, Unstop and Smoke."

Zombie Survival Kit: Shotgun (because we know shotguns are most effective at blowing zombie brains out), loads of ammo for said shotgun, backup weapon such as hatchet or katana, some sort of bite protection such as chainmail, Storm Trooper suit, etc., radio and/or hand radio for trying to find other survivors, backpack full of non-perishable food and water, first aid, and, if available, key to helicopter with extra fuel. Haha. And that's probably just the bare minimum. Lol.
