Everything's Coming Up Zombies

I have no idea why, but lately I'm obsessed with all things zombie. It's bizarre. In many ways, I blame Jane Austen. Seriously, I found this book recently :

(you can read more about it here and here)

It's gruesomely hilarious, and a few of my students even managed to work the title into a one-act play they were doing for our class SLAM project. They were a little further ahead of themselves than they realized - they used the title as a movie title rather than the book, and apparently in "real life" the movie version is already in the works. Awesome.

Runway models as zombies. Totally makes sense. Also, it's a reality series just WAITING to happen.

An appropriate quote from a friend's blog:

"It's good to be open-minded,but not so open-minded that your brains fall out."

And, in all reality, you've never seen more lifelike zombies until you try to get through a class on the last Friday before the last week of school. I swear, it really is contagious - I felt just as sluggish and brain dead as the students!

One more book (again, found recently and picked up just for the title):

I'm just waiting for them to pick up the movie rights on this one, too.
