I am NEVER going to work without checking the news again.

Maybe I'm NEVER going to work again.

Half of 'em weren't even there. And the job...well, usually classical music fans are an articulate bunch even when they're telling you to fuck off, but the groaning, oh god the groaning. and sometimes the breaking glass in the background...They would almost give but ate their credit cards instead and I heard this crazy noise where they were trying to get at me through the phone but zombies can't do that, they just ate the wires instead when their receptionists and housekeepers were already devoured.

I didn't notice anything unusual on the bus. (Then again, I wouldn't.) But they were everywhere at Whole Foods, a run on organic free-range BRAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNS at $12.99 a pound, but River the trainee's brains were free and all over the floor being drooled out, and some European lady in serious denial was snarking at me because she couldn't move her cart because of some kid she thought was my daughter, AS IF, until the sweet-little pig-tailed thing with one eyeball hanging out on a sinew bit huge chunks out of her leg, and I was like, fuck it, my bath salts can WAIT.

So here I am. Waiting. Screams. Smell of bloody meat and lighter fluid outside. Burning 'em doesn't work.

I've just stayed home all day, doors locked. A few got in, but I took them out with some household objects. Heads come off!

How many of us are still around? One on my flist was already ... taken.

Oh shit, I don't know. Seems like everybody's barricaded in the house. I put salt on my fire escape, for fuck's sake. I don't know if they can climb but I'm not taking any chances.

They don't climb real good, but they try and usually fall, and then the ones still standing up scramble over the ones lying in piles. So they'll probably make it up eventually. *Cries*

Reprieve. Cement truck drove through the pile and into the wall. Zombified driver but his head fell off...

I'm telling ya, kosher salt will work. Hope you picked some up at Whole Foods.

::smugly looks outside windows at rapidly shriveling zombies::

Table salt won't kill them, but it will keep them away. Like mosquito repellent, if the mosquitoes were trying to eat your brains.

The skeeters in the Chesapeake Bay area WILL.

Oh, honey, I'm so sorry. About everything. Feeling horribly guilty here - I didn't know until a month ago, when I was doing my will, that 80% of dead Wellingtonians get cremated. Between that and our low population and the lack of cemeteries/hospitals in our downtown, we're OK-ish. Auckand's trashed, though, and I don't know what good being the best working capital in the world is going to do us if we're the ONLY working capital in the world.

I'd say come down here but it sounds like you won't make it through quarantine...

Oh don't feel guilty. Don't feel guilty. If none of us here...in this corpse-choked place...make it out, at least we know there's a place somewhere the species will continue. I'm glad you're OK...

...remember us...

Okay, it's definitely me. I have no idea what the hell you're talking about.

It's a blog holiday in which to post as if the whole world is under zombie attack. My friendslist has been drowning in BRAAAIIIIINS!!

Gotcha. I wasn't aware of this one, only Talk Like a Pirate Day, and a lesser known one - Meat Day.

I think this one's brand-new.

And sometime during the afternoon, Tom Smith ([livejournal.com profile] filkertom), the World's Fastest Filker, wrote (and recorded and uploaded) a song about it.

Damn...that explains why the calls were more stupid than usual today at work.

Not much nutritional value in some of the braaaaiiiins I know.

I hope you're still okay. It's dark now here, and they're starting to act up. It's going to be a long night.

Best zombie repellent in the world. Well, besides the cats themselves, who seem to think that zombies = Fancy Feast. :D

i'm guessing the zombies are still taking over the world. i can't seem to find any other explanation for the O'Reilly Factor's seeming popularity.
