The Inevitable

Are you ever in the middle of a conversation and suddenly think, “How the heck did we get here?” That definitely happened to me yesterday. My friend and I were driving back from lunch when I saw a woman slouched forward on a bench. Between the long red hair that hung covering her face and the absurdly empty block, scenes from Resident Evil, Night of the Living Dead, and the like, starting popping into my head. “Zombie alert,” I commented.

We kept going and the next thing I knew I heard myself vehemently arguing: “Zombies are a serious deal! He’d better come save you when (yes, I said when) they attack! I mean, you’ve done so much for him! That would be a serious deal breaker.”



And so goes a Saturday afternoon preparing for an impending zombie attack. Why, you ask? Why would we discuss this for 2 blocks? Eh, it could happen…maybe.

If I were a zombie, I’d try to be of the vegetarian variety. I imagine I’d drink a lot of this drink:
(warm rice milk, pure cacao powder, cinnamon, cracked pepper, honey, cumin, turmeric).

When feeling zombie-ish in real life, it’s a go-to staple! I like to call it “dirty hot chocolate”. It's based off of this recipe from Holy Cow.

I usually HATE scary movies. I had nightmares from watching The Strangers and I was upstairs and around the corner from the TV throughout most of the movie. I even may have gotten scared in a Boy Meets World remake of Scream when I was a kid. However, zombie movies are forever associated with a couple of good friends and therefore they are the one exception to my phobia.

Are you prepared for a zombie attack? What would you do?

Are there any movies you wouldn't normally love, but do?
