Movie and tv ratings

Although not perfect yet, I am working on a ratings system kind of like the one I do for my book reviews. I use the monkey brains 1-5 rating system, found on the blog under Monday Mention Ratings, and now I want to use the classic thumbs up or down for movies and tv shows.

As it stands, two thumbs up mean I LOVED IT or it's just really good. 

One thumb up means I liked it. Kinda how LIKE on Facebook has lost meaning, you can take this LIKE however you want. 

Then of course a thumbs down is just bad news bear for anything. Didn't like it. Couldn't care for it. Blech. Worst. I've had better. 

NEW JOB!!

Exciting news!!! I switched to another school to work in the library! As much as I loved the kids at my one school (I work at 2), I just couldn't give up the chance to work closer to home. Taking the bus is a pain ( I support Public Transit!!) so being on a shorter route makes me less likely to pout. OH YA! I just did that. 
Now I have a whole new crew of kids and staff to infect with zombie love. I've already boosted my one school from having 7 zombie book to 29. I'm making a difference!!! MWAHAHA ....er...I mean....go me. If it gets kid reading, then I am happy.

Summer Bummer

Hey folks! Summer has a arrived and with that comes exciting things in my life. First off, I'm done work for the summer!!! haaha SUCKERS! I'm going to read so much zombie books and work real hard on putting more materials together for my blog. 
I'll also be moving. Yes apartment life has its faults of lots of people easily turned into zombies and coming after me. I'm heading to a house where I can properly build my arsenal and fallout shelter complete with private library (I love my books okay?).

With this transition will come no postings on Zombie Diaries for atleast a week, maybe even two. I know....bummer! During this time I hope you're out frolicking in the sun, sipping on a cold one, and practicing your zombie drills but as soon as I post again YOUR ASS IS MINE. You better bow down and become addicted to the internet with me being your ruler!! MWHAHAHA!!

(This plays for a long time.....)


Till we meet again....

Zombie Awareness Month: Welcome to Zombie Town

 May is Zombie Awareness Month. It is where nerds and enthusiasts, as well as true believers, talk about preparing for the looming apocalypse.  This whole month is a great way to become aware of the dangerous threat of flesh eating corpses we will have on our planet.

I'd still do him

 

A serious concern is turning hotties like my husband Jakey into a rotting hottie.

So the key thing we need to be aware this month is the most important of all: How to Spot a Zombie. While some may mistake a hobo or your drunken uncle as a mindless Walker, don't let that fool you. Just to be certain with no chance for mistaken identity, shoot them right in the brain.

If shooting is not a choice you have then another great method, but not always 100% effective, is fire. Fire is a great alternative if you suck at shooting. *cough* me *cough*

One should also consider what type of weapons to have for combat. If I was super strong and knew where to get a katana, that would be my choice. But let's see what would be the most effect for kills. 

As we can see guns are the most effective. Now while this is true, they are also likely to run out of ammo so unless you are already stock piled or own a gun store OR you have the endless ammo cheat then you may reconsider relying solely on guns and have a back up weapon. What would be your weapon of choice? How would you prepare for the apocalypse?

Come back next week and I'll share more ways to prepare yourself.

Changes

So I have been at this blog for a good year and a half. It is getting a little popular and I have been thinking some changes are needed to be done. Over the next month you will see these changes.

First off I plan on making this blog into more of a website. Going to buy myself a domain! I think .com sounds way better than blogspot.ca so be on the look out for that. I'll tweet the new domain when it happens and give updates along the way. 

Another change I'm doing will be adding some darn awful ads. I promise these will be limited. I'm thinking 3 tops. I would like to have a summer income so putting ads on this site will help with that. Sorry but bitches got to make money some how and I'm not very good at hooking. 

I may or may not make a Zombie Diaries Facebook fan page. I really doubt I would do anything different on there than I do on here but people can then "like" it I guess. Depends on my ambition this summer
 
I'll keep those of you who actually come to this site posted on the changes via twitter and this blog. 

One year old

Well Happy Birthday to Zombie Diaries! One year ago I started this blog for a school project where I had to incorporate libraries and social media. I decided I had read enough zombie books at the time that I could write reviews and have people comment.
Well after I received my kick-ass mark and pass the class along with receiving my diploma, I decided to revamp the site and make it purely 100% zombie anything. 
I have had a great time collecting zombie images and videos and sharing them with the small amount of viewers I have. It is still nice to have my friends say they go to my site and check it out. Using Facebook and Twitter as a source of sharing has increased my views. I received about 300 views a month (wooooo) and about half of those views are from outside of Canada and the States. SO thank you for showing some love and feel free to show more. I would love to see more comments flowing in. Now F@*k all this serious shat and let's celebrate (even though I don't need anymore face time with the toilet after my actual birthday).

Happy Halloween!

Hey zombie lovers! This is our holiday. They day where people can dress up as zombies and zombies can blend in without being detected. Have a great Halloween!

NEWS

Guess what fellow zombie lovers?! ZD will get a twitter account this weekend! I've been posting on my own twitter feed but 4 votes on the poll said it should have its own. I know 4 isn't much, but it does mean I should listen to my audience, YOU GUYS! If anyone is even out there.......Hello? Hello? *knock on monitor* Anyone out there?

Welcome!

Hey fellow zombie fans! And welcome to Zombie Diaries, a place to discuss and drool over undead books from my local library. I plan on discussing all different types of zombie literature: mash-ups, satire, serious, manuals...Anything that involves zombies and that I have read or maybe even plan to read, buy, or check out from the library, will be posted on here. It's where I will come to confess everything about the book. My own little dairy dedicated to zombie thoughts. I hope you enjoy!
