Zombie Preparedness

Last night Phil and I went to a lecture given by Max Brooks, son of Mel Brooks and Anne Bancroft, and more importantly, author of the amazing World War Z: http://www.randomhouse.com/crown/worldwarz/

I "read" it in the sense that I listened to the audio book version. Which was awesome. It had Mark Hamil, Henry Rollins, John Turturro, and Meathead Reiner lending their voices. Plus, I listened to it only on the Metro, which increased my awareness of any potential zombie threats.

But back to Max. He was funny, quick on the fly, and remarkably composed in the face of all sorts of weirdos asking him weird questions, like "What's the deal with the zombies in Legend," like, duh, those were vampires or "should you spend time trying to turn the zombies back into human?" No! They are dead already! That's the guy who is going to get eaten by his wife when he refuses to accept that she had turned into a zombie and lingers to look searchingly into her eyes.

Afterwards, I realized my zombie escape plan does have some faults...I'm totally going to have to invest in a sledgehammer...
