Guess what I'm giving away? Here's a hint: Best. Mullet. Ever. (closed)

The flowy mullet, the incredible eye make-up, the tight, tight pants.

I am talking about my childhood dream hunk, David Bowie.


Obviously.

I used to dance around the house, singing the theme song to his greatest movie at the top of my lungs.

"Dance magic!" "Dance magic!" "Dance magic!" "Dance magic!!!"

Chantel and Amber knew to run when they heard this. I took the lyrics as instructions, and liked to incorporate them into my dance moves.

As Chantel mentioned in this post, my favorite babysitter introduced me to The Labyrinth at an early age.

It was creepy and weird and strangely seductive.

Everything a 6 year old could want in a movie.

(Fun fact: this movie came out in 1986, 1 year after I was born. But I didn't see it until 5 years later. Because my parents hate art.)

------
Since it's October, the perfect month for creepy movies, I am going to do a giveaway.

Blood and guts are just not my thing. Usually.

I was checking out the writers prompts over at Thursday Thunks, and number 9 caught my eye.

"You are driving down a road and your GPS says turn right, but the road has a Dead End sign. You check your GPS and according to it's map, there is a road at the end of the Dead End road that you need to turn onto. Do you follow the GPS?"

That depends. Are there zombies? Because if there are, there is no way I'm going down a street that says "dead" in the sign.

That's basic zombie survival stuff. I shouldn't have to tell you this.

I am not really into horror movies.

I like thrillers, and supernatural stuff is ok. But blood and guts are just not my thing.

Usually.

But since this is my blog, and it is a judgment-free space (I'm looking at you, Annie), I'll tell you guys a secret.

(I like zombie movies)
I started watching them a few years ago. In secret. Because I knew my sisters would never understand.

There's just something about seeing dead people trying to eat you that gets me every time.

My absolute favorite zombie movie? Zombieland.


(it's really funny. And, you know, gross)


My favorite zombie book? The Forest of Hands and Teeth


(it's actually a beautifully written story, and you'll probably like it even if you aren't into post-apocalyptic horror)

These kinds of books and movies give me crazy nightmares. And daymares.

I'll be driving down the street, or looking out my office window, and suddenly I'll be calculating my chances, and plotting my escape.

I'll get an adrenaline surge as I picture people jumping on top of cars, and breaking down doors, in search of a fresh throat to bite (and not in a sexy vampire way).

I'm pretty sure I wouldn't survive. I want to, obviously. But I just don't see myself as the heroic type.

I'm going to have to work on that.

Another good zombie movie is Shaun of the Dead


(I like it when movies don't take themselves too seriously.)

And I don't really recommend the new Resident Evil movie. I saw that last night. In 3D. By myself.

And it wasn't very scary.

I jumped a few times, but it was just a little too "defeat this new bad guy and move on to level 3" for me.

I know, I know. That series is based on a video game. It's just, the zombies felt like an afterthought.

(the first few movies were better)

-----
You're judging again, aren't you?

It's ok, I understand.

These bad guys don't sparkle in the sun.

You don't have to like them.

But someday, when the undead come knocking on your door? You'll probably wish you had watched a few back when you had the chance. You know, for pointers.

Like this one: Stay away from dead ends.

Obviously.

Not bad for a bunch of college students.

You guys have seen this Old Spice commercial, right?



But have you seen the spoof?

I found this on my friend Tara's blog, A Boy And A Girl.

"and props to my alma mater for making a fairly decent spoof. has YOUR school made a spoof? didn't think so..." -Tara

I am so proud.

Young and Studly vs. Old and Wrinkly. I know which one I'd choose!

This is what my TV crushes should look like.







And this is what they actually look like.







.....I think there's something wrong with me.

Our Favorite Show

A while ago I introduced Kurt to one of my all-time favorite shows. Maybe you've heard of it?


It's the only thing that tempts Kurt away from studying.

Sometimes I'll stand there wearing lingerie, and Kurt is all "can you move a little bit? You're blocking my text book."

But if he hears the theme song of arrested development, he comes running.

And I'm not even offended.
