It's the Fantastic Ms. Liz's birthday today. She's still not as old as me, but she's getting there! Here are some of my favorite things about Zombie Liz:
- She lets me call her Zombie Liz...an homage to the book-we-loved-before-we-ever-actually-read-it-and-realized-it-was-better-in-concept-than-execution, Pride and Prejudice and Zombies.
- She always introduces me to the newest, coolest music. Seriously, I'd be musically lost without her.
- She wrote and produced the catchiest damn song in history.
- Even though everyone told me to watch Lost, I never listened until the advice came from Liz. Where would my life be without her?!? And John Locke?!
- Her willingness to go on vacation with me without The Boyfriend. Girls trip! Look out New Orleans and your lack of open container laws!
- She really is, in all seriousness, a fantastic friend and I cherish her.
Won't you please join me in extending your birthday wishes?

Happy Birthday Liz!!!

This (mostly) Just In...
It's Friday! And tomorrow is Halloween! Life. Is. Good. Some other things enhancing it at the moment...
Subtle Sexuality! - New webisodes from The Office feature my potential BFF Kelly Kapoor (seriously, I wish she was real) and The New Pam (aka Erin) singing a Lady Gaga-esque ode to Ryan called "Male Prima Donna." It's totally rad and will be stuck in my head for the entire day.
That's a Dealbreaker Ladies! - While we're on the subject of faux websites, here's one for Liz Lemon's dealbreaker book. Sadly, it's kind of lame.
Pride and Prejudice and Zombies Prequel! - I liked PP&Z, but I thought it was, oddly enough, a little too faithful to the original. This prequel is in the style of Jane Austen, but includes all original material...which sounds more up my alley.
Happy Halloween! - As Liz mentioned yesterday, we're having a party and it will be, as I'm sure you can imagine, totally awesome...especially now that we've received your fantastic song ideas. (However, it may be slightly hindered by my carved pumpkin which is, for the record, the worst carved pumpkin in the history of ever. The seeds I roasted are delicious, though.) Wish you could be there, but since you can't, tell us all about your costumes in the comments. Be safe! Don't give away the Reese's!

Scenes from the Bar
Date/Time: April 28, 2009 9pmish
Liz: So you wouldn't want to be buried in a Padres themed mausoleum a la the new Cubs fan mausoleum in Chicago?Red: Uh, no. That's completely retarded. I do want to be cremated though.
Liz: I don't get the point of cremation if your not gonna scatter the ashes.
Red: Well, it's better for the environment.
Liz: I don't care about my carbon footprint when I'm dead. Besides, if you're cremated, you can't come back as a zombie.
Red: Excellent point. I may need to rethink this...
Liz: Yeah. You totally don't want to miss out on a coming-back-as-a-zombie opportunity.

This (mostly) Just In...
Rescue Me is Back - The 5th season of Denis Leary's firehouse dramadey returns tonight on FX. My friend Heather and I saw an ad for the new season before I Love You, Man last night (my thoughts on the movie: Paul Rudd makes me cry with laughter) and we both agreed we never really liked Denis Leary before Rescue Me and now we want to jump his bones. Well done, Denis.
Kumar to work in the White House - Kal Penn landed a job in the Obama administration. Liz and I both applied for jobs with Barry (nerd alert!) and this is the guy he hires?! Lame.
Pride and Predjudice and Zombies out Tomorrow - I heard rumors it could already be found in San Diego book stores and I've search and searched, to no avail. I guess I'll have to wait until tomorrow like everyone else. I did however read the first 3 chapters online and all I can say is, "Best. Book. Ever."
Padres off to a Terrible Start - I know it's only one game, but no one has much hope for the Friars this season. However, rumor has it, new closer Heath Bell will walk out in save situations to the Saved by the Bell theme song, officially making him the coolest closer ever. [UPDATE - Heath's closer song is not the Saved by the Bell theme song afterall. It's something from the Halo 2 soundtrack. However, there is a mash-up with him and 300 which is amazing, so he's still the best thing ever...or on the Padres anyway.]

Jane Austen + Zombies = Awesome
As someone who loves both the novels of Jane Austen and zombie movies, this sounds like perfection:
"Pride and Prejudice and Zombies features the original text of Jane Austen's beloved novel with all-new scenes of bone-crunching zombie action. As our story opens, a mysterious plague has fallen upon the quiet English village of Meryton—and the dead are returning to life! Feisty heroine Elizabeth Bennet is determined to wipe out the zombie menace, but she's soon distracted by the arrival of the haughty and arrogant Mr. Darcy. What ensues is a delightful comedy of manners with plenty of civilized sparring between the two young lovers—and even more violent sparring on the blood-soaked battlefield as Elizabeth wages war against hordes of flesh-eating undead."
My prediction: Best Book of 2009.
