Wouldn’t you know it.

 

I was so hung up on this bloody term paper that I completely missed the Zombie Apocalypse.*  My friends were all out there beating off zombies with other zombies’ severed** arms and having finally-it’s-the-OREGON-end-of-the-school-year parties ’n’ shit, and I’m holed up in this disaster of an apartment with an endless loop of classic rock writing about somebody named Anna Tsing and how goddamn first world states are raping the hell out of everything everywhere.

 

Fortunately, the fact that Emily decided that last week was a good time to move in for next year and brought over EVERYTHING SHE OWNS and piled it against the door, coupled with my frantic attempts to stuff EVERYTHING I OWN into some semblance of storageable organization meant I had a lot of heavy boxes to pile against the door.***  The only zombie in here is Howard II The Undead iPod, who in honor of the day sputtered awake, groaned, ate the brain of my Shuffle, and died his (probably final this time, really) death.

 

Granted, I feel like my brain has been eaten anyway. Those nefarious zombies.

 

 
*Although I did note it in my holiday list.

**Okay, yanked off.

 

***Also a really bitchin’ sofa I could sit on while they battered vainly away.

Yeah, I missed the Zombie Apocalypse as well... Too bad, I could have used it as an excuse as to why my last baking experiment failed: nothing ruins a cake batter like severed zombie parts.

It was either move all my stuff then or get all my stuff thrown away as I went off to Hawai'i for the past two weeks. I didn't change two of my finals for nothing, thankyouverymuch.
