Zombocalypse Now – A Review
Zombocalypse Now by Matt Youngmark
My rating: ★★★★★
As a child of the late 70s/early 80s, I loved the choose your own adventures books so when I read about this book on some Geek site a while back, I HAD to do it. It was awesome!!
You're a snarky, chain smoking chainsaw wielding stuffed pink bunny. You're in the middle of a Zombie-apocalypse, living in a world where stuffed animals walk, talk, and intermarry with the human population. There's even a moment where you let out the battle cry "Leeeeeeroy Jenkins!"
I was killed by ponies, deer, mackerels, kittens and a pack of Catholics. I teamed with a cop named Mittens (who isn't a stuffed animal) and survived only once. The author states that there are 112 different endings (only 7 that you don't die). Go buy, rent or borrow it now! View all my reviews >>

My Favorite Protest Signs of 2009
My, there were a lot of folks protesting and tea-bagging this past year. Unless you’re at a die-in, then you’re gonna need a sign.
Sharing a Fun 2009 TV Moment, ‘Cause That’s Just How I Am
One of my favorite shows is the Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson. This year, Kristen Bell appeared on the show five times, sometimes as a guest, sometimes just reading an except from Craig’s new book.
I think this Dec. 2nd appearance is my favorite of the year. At the 3:30 mark she does a great impression of the viral Surprised Kitty video that made its rounds in the last two months of ‘09. She also explained to guest Paul Shaffer why he shouldn’t bring bagpipes to visit Craig, warns against creepy facebook relationships, and sits in Craig's chair. Watch and enjoy and Happy New Year!

LeVar Burton Can Finally Tell the World About His Long Nightmare
From his heartfelt opinion piece*:
When the news came that Reading Rainbow would be canceled due to a lack of funding, I felt—well, to use a cliché like you'd find in one of the hundreds of books I pimped endlessly—like a huge weight had been lifted from my shoulders. Every day I went to work hoping that maybe the studio had burned down, that maybe the program had been cut, that maybe PBS would finally stop squeezing the life from me drop by drop. Now that it's over, I feel the relief a bruised and broken soldier must feel when he is rescued after rotting away for decades in some dank, forgotten POW camp.
May that godforsaken show burn in hell.
*This is from The Onion, it’s satire, it wasn’t written by LaVar, but I thought it was hilarious and literally Laughed Out Loud. But you don’t have to take my word for it - (via @levarburton)
