Happy Thanksgiving

Here in the White North we have a little holiday today. Now I'm stuck with my cone head dog after his neutering and my fiancé playing games but I hope the rest have enjoyed a weekend full of laughs, family, and turkey.

Kick-ass Kitties

It's Monday. I'm still tired from the weekend. Enjoy some kitties killing zombies. 

Fear the Walking Dead

First off I want to admit something that fellow zombie lovers would shame me for.... I didn't even know this show was coming on until a week before. GASP I know....It might have been I have no cable, I don't follow the right things on FB, Instagram, or Twitter (I hardly peruse it anymore), or maybe I was focused on my dog a lot this summer. Either way, I am sorry.


Now that I have shamed myself let's hop to a quick review of the show! 
If you haven't seen it yet (second episode was last night) then watch a trailer for the show below.

The show focuses on what happened before Rick and his gang got shit on all the time, before all our favorite and loved characters were eaten. This series is the prequel, the when, how and maybe why The Walking Dead world we know is like it is. 

Travis Manawa and Madison Clark as their characters on FTWD

As you are watching the first episode you may recognize a few folks from some great other shows. I noticed a few myself. Kim Dickens, plays Madison Clark, is known for Gone Girl, The Blind Side, and a few shows she was one for a bit were House of Cards and Sons of Anarchy. Alycia Debnam-Carey, Dickens' daughter Alicia is none other than Lexa from The 100.

Lexa from The 100

Elizabeth Rodriguez, who I love in OTNB as Aleida Diaz, made a short appearance in the first episode but will be a huge role as Dickens' boyfriend/husband's(?) ex-wife, Liza Ortiz.





So the pilot introduces us to this family and extended family, to their jobs and school where multiple people are "out with the flu"  but focuses on Dickens' son Nick (played by Frank Dillane) being a druggie who witnesses some freaking ass face eating done by his girlfriend in the tweeker church they are bunking in. After being hit by a car his family is trying to understand what he saw but unfortunately a drugged out person doesn't have the best experience with telling the truth or being trustful. So when Nick manages to get out of the hospital and his folks have looked into his story, we learn Nick's family is full of a bunch of assholes for not believing him. Even a news story goes viral showing a man attacking first

responders, getting shot a butt ton, and only succumbing to a head shot. Without giving away the pilot's ending, Nick's family finally believes something is going on with people after they witness someone being ran over MULTIPLE times. This last scene is what makes you shit your pants cause we all know from watching TWD that it all goes down hill from here.

The whole episode was was just anticipating the zombies to come, for someone to realize that person ain't dead; they undead. You are on your seat's edge already hoping this family doesn't get hurt. I thought for sure the old man in the hospital was going to be where we discover this but they got me with someone else. The show still feels like TWD but so far with less gross zombies and more clean people. 

If you are a Walking Dead fan, then you MUST see this show. I will be continuing on this dead path. 

Puppy Dress Up

 If you don't pay attention to my twitter then you won't know why I haven't been the greatest blogger lately. I got a puppy!!! Dexter is taking up all my time being super cute and teething. He noms me to death, likes to pee on the floor, and little humping action happens from time to time. This MinPin is one crazy pup. 

Speaking of crazy, dressing up dogs is something people love to do. So if I am to ever do so I better do it with class. A zombie puppy costume for your puppy seems like a little redundant but still looks funny and adorable. 

If that wasn't enough, the zombie lawn gnomes can inspire a great look for your pooch. 


That pooch looks thrilled. 

iZombie Recap: Maternity Liv

get art here

Sorry I am like 2 weeks late on these one guys!

The Crime
Emily Sparrow shows up in the woods after 8 months wounded and dying. She dies but her baby is taken to hospital. Rumors are the boyfriend may have caused her harm. Emily ended up being kidnapped by a dog catcher along with some other girls to be sister wives. 




Zowers (Zombie Powers):

• Maternal instincts 
• Attachment to the Sparrow baby

Major news: Major accidentally gets Clive quoted in a newspaper indicating the lost kids aren't his priority. Major is still trying to get info on the Candyman and gets the license plates, tracks the car down, break into it, causing him to get arrested but not before he sees a container with human brains in it. This gets him in a cell with some troubled guys to say "Thank you" on behalf of the police for the quote in the paper. 

Meanwhile...: 
Kids are still missing and the press is getting demanding. Um....remains of the kids were found at the dog catcher's place....oh that doesn't seem right.
Liv and Ravi are trying to keep tabs on Blaine.
Ravi is starting to test different levels of Utopium to find out what dosage caused zombism.
Liv's mom gives the Evan the application for Blaine's scary butcher shop.
Liv and Lowell had some weird vibes going on. Turns out Lowell had brains of a gay guy in his system. Made for a drunk and laughing montage.  

Nourishment:
Brains and maybe chow mien noodles
"Protein" shake


Brainy lines

•  "Unless you have the urge to make me lunch and do my laundry." "You wish. Have you really not eaten lunch?" She keeps asking him if he is hungry. - Liv and Ravi
• "Awesome sauce" - Lowell
• "They didn't get this at IKEA." - Clive "No this is what Rumpelstiltskin carves for you after you promise him your first born" - Liv
• "Look Beetlejuice I don't remember saying your name three times..." - Emily's boyfriend to Liv

Thoughts

• Liv's bro Evan better not end up butchered or zombified. 
• Really hope Liv and Lowell get closer. Loving these two!
• OMG Suzuki is just all over his zombie skills using it to be unstoppable in his police skills. But killing people, even if they are the bad guys and you are using them to cover up your own trail of dead bodies while being in cahoots with Blaine, is a terrible thing to do. Suzuki seems totally aware of Liv now too. 
• OH shit the rats are being eaten! Success in the zombie rat experiment I guess.

iZombie recap: Virtual Reality Bites

The Crime:
A 300 lbs internet troll and computer hacker is found dead after a week in his home. Simon Cutler, a shut in and an asshole, only had things delivered to his doggy door like donuts. While heart attack was unlikely, turns out he had an allergic reaction to peanuts being spread in a confetti-sprung card. Cutler had treated Shaynee, a customer service caller, like crap and Cutler's victim posted it onto a sight full of things Cutler had done with his hacking skills. Ruining lives was his specialty and he was the most hated people on the internet. He ruined this poor girl's life to the point of a year of harassment lead Shaynee to her suicide. Her brother decided to get revenge. 

Another crime happens when the body of the young delivery man is found nearly decapitated with his stomach full of expensive food. Clive goes on a search but we all know who did the crime. Clive is almost lured into Blaine's psycho meat shop, but saved by Liv's call.

Zowers (Zombie Powers):

• Agoraphobia
• Hacking
• Nerd skills
• Appetite for sweets and junk food
• Sweet gaming skills

Major news: Major head wound!? Way to freak us out iZombie. Major is okay. Just really banged up. Major is now on a quest to get more information on the Candyman, comes across some videos of Jerome at the skate park, and finds not only the Candyman that he had a run in with, but Ravi sees Blaine in the background and shows Liv. 

Meanwhile...:
 Blaine's weird sugar mama GF freaks out over not getting her brains and kills the delivery boy for some of his young brains. Blaine gets all suspicious since his delivery boy seems to be gone. GF gets a visit and there was a different kind of drilling about to happen.
Liv and Lowell were to go on a date but her agoraphobia kicked in so a little night in comes into play. 

Nourishment:
Rotten brain shake
MOUNDS of junk food and pop

SWOON

Brainy lines

• "The man's too good looking. I'm giving him character." - Ravi while stitching Major up
• "If I hadn't stumbled in and totally rocker blocked this dude..." - Major  (guess another term for C@ck blocker. haha)
• Liv calling out "Son of a bitch" when she finds out Cutler was probably killed somehow and she now has to drink his brains. 
• "Must. Have. Donuts. Great. I ate Homer Simpson's brain" - Liv
• "I don't even know what I'm doing. But I know if I use my freezing spell I can take out all 7 witches. I hate this crap!" - Liv
• "Sooo did you run out of napkins or did you just run by an Oompa Loompa? Some on your butt too. Not that I was looking." - Lowell to Liv with her cheese puffs all over her
• “I’m a were-terrier with healing powers called Arf Vader. This is going to be epic.”- Ravi (throwback to the comic guys!)

Thoughts

• BARF!! Rotten, liquid brains.
  

• I can't even come up with a name for Liv and Lowell. They are perfect. Glad Blaine is a dick and that wasn't being forced. Lowell is a better choice. Glad Lowell gets his brains from a mortician/funeral home. 

• Where is Blaine going to get his action from now? That guy just gives me chills.

• OMG was that Liv’s mom at the end? Don’t get your son to work at that butcher shop!

Zombie count
9 or is it 8 now cuz I think Blaine's GF and him are done.

My Brain is Puppy Crazy

I have been on the search for a dog and been waiting awhile to get one and finally in the last few weeks things are starting to get real. I finally got my paws on a MinPin and will be coming home to us 2 months from now. He was just born 2 days ago so got to see him today! So until I have him home with me, I've been on Pinterest, Etsy, and other sites gathering zombie swag for my dog. 

The Barking Dead and the Shaun of the Dog below are from Etsy and I am SO getting both of these. Super adorable. Both are from the seller Electrolucy. There are so many great geeky bandanas you can get your little furry animal as well. 

 



 Glow in the Dark Bones Skeleton isn't something just for Halloween. I'd have my little pooch in this all. da. time. 

Got a great little hunter in the family? Wear it proud with a female red dress Zombie Hunter OR for those of us that will be having a little male, see his little shirt below.

Don't have a Zombie Man: Zombie Simpsons

I play lame little games on my tablet everyday and one that I keep up with is The Simpsons: Tapped Out. I grew up with watching them, quoting Bart, and even through out my life someone can always bring something back to this ever running show.
The Simpsons is one show that does a really great job at Halloween episodes. Treehouse Horror has even showcased an episode with zombies in 1992 named "Dial Z for Zombies". Man I was in kindergarten then! This show is old! So it is no wonder DeviantArt danosborne has created some wicked zombie Simpson art. 
I am digging the detailed hairiness of Otto here to the left. Feel Otto just kinda is a zombie with him being all mellow most of the time. 

Argck! Groundskeeper Willie

Edna Krabapple

Krusty the Clown

When the snow melts

For those of us in the Great White North and prairies, winter is taking a sweet-ass nap and doesn't know when to leave. Kinda like that one friend that always crashes at your place after a night out.
When the snow clears and bunnies and kittens frolic around, so will zombies. Make your lawn zombie friendly with these bad boys.



Both from Amazon, the "Zombie Obama Taking a Selfie But Forgot His Phone" is 7lbs of ankle grabbing awesomeness. Great addition to the pet cemetery you have from your kids' goldfish accidents that keep happening. 

"Let there be light" will cast his wizardry ways and guide company up your driveway to be tortured by your wife's ukulele "concert". You'd wish you were undead like these guys after it.  

TWD is back this Sunday!

SQUA-WEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!  The Walking Dead to return!

This Sunday the gang returns, minus one singing blonde (RIP).Valentine's is close too and  below are some Walking Dead must haves ensembles for our love in the best dude ever on that show and Carol's BFF, Daryl.

Boxing Day Learning

Z is for Zombie.
Z is also for ZOINKS! I am on holidays!
I'm too lazy and enjoying the in-laws free food to write anything remotely intelligent....which isn't any different any other time, am I right?? haha.

Hope your Boxing Day is zombie free! 

Bored? Hate the holidays? Watch this Zombie Christmas song video below.

(Fav new Xmas song)

Eat and Be Merry!

Tomorrow is Christmas and I want to thank you readers and those I know who do read this (thanks hunny!!). Please, practice your zombie skills (holidays aren't a time to be slack), eat loads of food cuz you never know when your next meal is, and here is hoping your holidays don't bite.

Merry Chistmas, Happy Chanukah, Happy Kwanzaa, and so forth! Happy Holidays from ZD!


Like the card? Get it at Etsy.

Silent Night of the Living Dead!

I am so mature you guys!

Everybody loves to have a nativity set out during the holidays. We even had one in my house and we weren't exactly Jesus fans. Nevertheless they spew Christmas and they are quite fun to mess around with.--->

Being a zombie fan the best nativity set would be a zombie one and it looks like a Kickstarter tried to make our dreams come true this holiday. (It failed! CHRISTMAS IS RUINED!!) Still let us take a moment to relish in the awesomeness that could have been.

The gang is all here...well maybe missing a few parts.

We Three Spleens

Shepard boy is doing some major suckage at his job.

Could Mary be the next Daryl?? NEVER!!

I feel like laughing

SMILE!!

Sometimes life is a drag and I need a little pick me up and mocha or some strong arms aren't going to do that for me. Here are a few things I stumbled across lately. Hope you die laughing or atleast show them pearly whites. 
The last is my fav.

Till Death Do Us Part

3 weeks ago my sister got me a brother-in-law!!! Ya that's the only reason why I love her.
It was great to see 2 living people so in love and after 12 years of being together to tie the knot (which they literally did!). 
My wedding will be in about a year and a half to my grown man-boy and I hope to see a friend that gets my humor and send this card full of $$$$$. Cuz I am shallow I guess.

These are also available for same-sex marriage.
