Survival!!

[paraka]

:P
So, I had a great time this weekend. Saturday was completely crazy with the two parties, but I was still on cloud 9 with my house news.

And Sunday I had an awesome time hanging out with diurnal_lee and kronos999. I have no idea how the subject came up, but we somehow spent the afternoon planning how we would survive in a post apocalyptic world. We had stages and everything. And plans. Lots and lots of plans. I even took notes. We have decided to make it our goal to learn many of the skills we would need to survive in such a world. Once I have a garden, we're totally going to start practising. And there may possibly be some camping in our future.

I think a good first goal for me is to learn to knit (next skill: learn how to make wool). So many people around me knit and love doing it. This makes me jealous. I think I'm going to try to learn (anyone want to teach me? :D).

Also, we should totally have an apocalyptic movie marathon some night soon :)

House! House! OMG House!

Hmmm. What movies would you show?

[paraka]

I'm open to suggestions.

Shaun of the Dead?

Megolodon or whatever that bad shark movie is? :)

I've never actually seen Shaun of the Dead, although people talk about it a lot. It should definitely make the list. I've never heard of the other one though (although I don't really watch many movies, so it's not surprising).

The shark one has a very cheezy John Barrowman who's trying to be straight. Very odd. :)

Btw, I didn't realize until after leaving today that you bought a house! Congrats! :)

I have The Stand on DVD. It runs somewhere between 6 and 7 hours, I believe. In the mood?

Edited to add: House!!! Congrats!!!

What's The Stand about, that's quite the long movie? I've never heard of it.

Also, yay! House! I have the inspection tomorrow!

It was a tv miniseries, based on Stephen King's novel, starring Gary Sinise, Molly Ringwald, Laura San Giacomo and Rob Lowe, among others. The world is wiped out by the flu (aka "Captain Trips").

It has the same failings as other King works brought to the screen, but I adore Gary Sinise and Laura San Giacomo, and the opening gives me chills just thinking about it.
