Yes, I did this one. Yes, I know it sucks. But here it is, in all its crappy glory:
Zombie Cartoon: a zombie looking for its eyeball. Yes, I made this one. Yes, I know it’s crap. It’s okay, you can say it.
Note: this was first posted on In Case of Survival. It was crappy then, too :-p
We all know that training is important when it comes to post-apocalyptic survival. After all, everybody talks about it. There are prepper and survival books, online groups, websites, blah blah blah. Basically, it’s just a good thing to be prepared. For, you know, the apocalypse.
As much as I like reading, there are just some things I like to learn (and do) in person. Or at least in an environment where someone can teach me how to do things properly. Because “proper” is a good thing, especially when learning how to use swords. And other sharp pointy objects. You know.
It’s a good thing there are actually classes I can take for apocalypse prep. (I know, right?)
There’s all sorts of emphasis on hand to hand combat, how to shoot guns, sword fighting, how to aim for a zombie’s head, etc etc when thinking about post-apocalyptic defensive skills you’ll need.
That’s all well and good — and I’m not saying you won’t need those skills, because you will — but I’m more of an “AH RUN AWAY!” kind of girl. Seriously, when that fight or flight kicks in, my entire body screams “RUUUUNNNN!!!!!” like a little girl. It does not usually say, “Oh hells yeah, LET’S KICK SOME ASS!”
Well, unless someone’s threatening my kids. But then I go all Mama Bear on them and my body says something unintelligible. You know how it is. I’m sure you get that same reaction when someone threatens your kids, your dog, your Xbox, or your extra large latte at 7:00 in the morning.
I’ve been tweeting a lot about Calgary Horror Con. I attended the Con this past weekend as part of the press — I covered the event for In Case of Survival. It was my first event with press credentials, and it was super fun. (Yes, I’m geeky like that.)
My first Horror Con post, about the presentations, went up on ICoS today. Head over there and take a look! (Post link is here.)
For fun, check out the little guy I bought at the Con. Notice he doesn’t sparkle…
Okay, I like zombies. Well, as much as someone can like putrid undead things. You know.
Anyway. I need to replenish my post-apocalyptic/paranormal/zombie reading list. Of course, I asked on Twitter, because Twitter is where I normally ask these things. (Asking on Facebook would get me a fat load of nothing. Well, I’d get a few incredulous, “Why zombies?” but mostly I’d get a fat load of nothing.)
So far, the suggestions I’ve gotten are:
