This is why quarantine is a GOOD thing

Looks like the Zombie invasion has been confined to the US and Europe, at least for the time being.

I suspect this is because no self-respecting zombie wants to spend that much time on a plane. It's bad enough when you are alive, I can't imagine what it's like when rigour mortis starts to set in.

If they ever do make it to Australia, I'm not that worried - it's hard to lurch at a decent speed when your body is contorted like a right-angled pretzel. I certainly doubt they could manage the stairs to my apartment.

Still. Perhaps I'll go out and hunt up Shaun of the Dead Zombie killing instructions, just in case. Better safe than sorry, after all.

confused? And yeah, we're a little bit behind in Australia...

hee :-) i think according to the shaun of the dead manual you need to decapitate them. i didn't notice any in north london yesterday, but then i'm the one that most resembles a zombie in my neighbourhood at the moment. it's a good thing no one tried to chop my head off when i went out to the shops. actually, funny enough i'm living in crouch end at the moment, which is where shaun of the dead was set. so i'm doubly lucky.

OK, decapitation it is. Thanks for the heads up (*groan*)

Yes, you should try and avoid random decapitation when going shopping. Luckily, apparently none of your neighbours heard about the Zombie attack!

I am amused by the idea of people actually living where movies/TV shows are set - this is what happens when you grow up in country towns and then movie to Canberra. No one sets a show/movie here.

it's so funny cos it completely breaks down the '4th wall' thing and you spend half your time thinking, 'hey! there's no strip club on that street - it's a cheese shop!' or whatever. kind of spoils the mood - i remember watching this really grim film, nil by mouth, don't know if you've seen it - there's this bit where some guys are rushing off to hospital or something, life and death situation, and i'm squealing with happiness 'that's my road! that's my road they've just driven down!' - completely spoiling the mood for everyone who was watching with me :-)

Now I'm picturing some kind of weird strip club/cheese shop amalgamation... not a good thought!
