‘Tis the season for zombies.
I know Christmas was yesterday, but with the whole laptop crashing stuff, I’m just getting around to finding all the fun stuff I missed on the interwebs in December.
Did you know there was a book of Zombie Christmas Carols? I have got to get my act together and come up with something Zombie related to start making some money. I found the link thru one of my favorite authors, Christopher Moore. If you haven’t read his stuff, you are seriously missing out, my friend. Pick up a copy of The Stupidest Angel , it’s a perfect story to read for the holidays and it has zombies!
Here’s a favorite Christmas song…Zombiefied:
ZOMBIE THE SNOW MAN
(Sung to the tune of Frosty, The Snowman
Zombie the Snow Man was a jolly, happy ghoul,
With a corncob pipe and some boy’s nose and two eyes he got at school.
Zombie the Snow Man is a fairy tale, they say;
He was undead it’s so, but the children know how he came
Back to life one day.
There must have been a virus in that old silk hat they found,
For when they placed it on his head, he began to dance around.
Oh, Zombie the Snow Man was alive as he could be,
And the children say he ate brains all day as they tried to run away.
Zombie the Snow Man knew the brains were fresh that day,
So he said,”Please run, because it’s lots more fun when I eat your brain that way”.
Down through the village with a femur in his hand,
Running here and there all around the square, sayin’
“Decaptiate me if you can!”
He chased them through the streets of town and ate the traffic cop
And he barely paused a moment when, he heard the cops brain pop!”
Zombie the Snow Man had to hurry on his way,
But he waved good-by, sayin’, “Please do cry and I’ll eat your brains again someday!”
Thumpety thump thump, thumpety thump thump,
Look at that Frosty go;
Thumpety thump thump, thumpety thump thump,
Over the hills of snow.

Doctor Who: The End of Time.
So that disturbing image is from last week’s Doctor Who: The Waters of Mars. Did you watch it? What did you think? Other than giving me nightmares about drinking water for the rest of my life, I finally got to see the darkest side of Doctor Who that we first saw at the end of “The Family of Blood” episode:
Tonight’s episode begins the two part goodbye to David Tennant as Doctor Who. Still a little bitter about that. He’s gone on to greener pastures…or a sure to be cancelled in a couple of weeks series in America. I’m not being mean I swear, you just name me the last series Jerry O’Connell was on that lasted more than a month. Go ahead. Think about it. I’ll give you a minute…see? You know I’m right.
Here are a few links about tonight’s episode:
SciFi Wire talks about David Tennant’s exit…warning there are spoilers.
The Boston Herald talks to executive producer, Julie Gardner, who is also exiting the show.
The Star-Ledger talks to David Tennant about filming his last scene.

I suck, I am aware.
Really sorry about the lack of posts. It was all due to my laptop hard drive crashing, leaving me with very old and extremely slow eMac to use for the last two weeks. The constant “spinning ball-0-death” drove me crazy and I ended up only signing on to read a few emails.
Thankfully, my laptop is finally repaired. I promise to get back on track and be a better poster. I appreciate your patience.
Happy Holidays!

Michael K. Williams. Indeed.
You probably know by this point, how much I love The Wire. It was dark, depressing at times and one of the finest television series I have ever seen. If you were a fan of Homicide and Hill Street Blues, you have to watch it. I have a friend who says it’s so good that you have to watch the entire 5 seasons once a year.
Michael K. Williams(Omar), discusses the role of Omar, The Road and shares how he was broke and living in the projects during the first two seasons of The Wire:
“But he never made much money, and was intermittently homeless. That’s when he was arrested stealing cars. “I thought I was gonna die soon,” says Williams. “My mother had taken out extra life insurance. She was like, ‘You ain’t gonna stick me with no bill, you feel me?’

Cool story Nat Geo photographer!
This is a really interesting story about a National Geographic photographer who gets up close and personal with an enormous Leopard Seal.
