We'll be safe in the basement."
-Night of the Living Dead

looking around here for George Romero's house. He filmed all his zombie movies up here in these hills (also the movie "Knightriders," an underrated masterpiece about jousting on motorcycles) and i was hoping he would just happen to be my neighbor or something. My friend Mark sent me an email saying he had just visited the Monroeville Mall from Dawn of the Dead and i'm feeling like i'm dropping the ball here locating my share of zombie landmarks seeing how i live here now and he had to take a 4 hour pilgrimage to see this holy site. i was going to check out that famous Mall myself (i wonder if it's still got those early 80s attractions. huge fountains. ice rink???) but i couldn't remember the name of it. i know i know, what the hell kind of fan am i. problem is my movies are packed away in the basement and i can't be unpacking that shit and wasting time watching too many movies right now. and i like thinking about my zombie movies down there in the basement, curled up in the corner.

so if anyone knows where this dude Romero lives let me know. i can' t find his address here on the internet. don't worry, i just want to drive by, not do a drive-by. speaking of zombie movies, i hear he's doing another one. not sure what can happen after Day of the Dead seeing how in that movie there were about 6 people left in the world living out their final years getting high on an island but i don't give a shit what he does. it can be a cartoon about the heartwarming hijinx of a zombie dog for all i care, i'll be first in line.

oh yeah, get this (this was my whole point): that bar i was talking about going to Friday? Bar Louie's? Guess what? It's not in Strongsville. I got the name wrong. It's Monroeville. True story yo. i'm going to hit that mall with my camera and run around those stores like i got zombies lumbering after my ass, filling up a wheelbarrel with ammo (aka "toys from the Dollar Store") like it's the end of the world baby! i'm excited even though there's no way i'm the first one to try that shit. i'll post the pictures.

anyone notice how the blogger banner up top changes it's ads depending on what you write about? i talk movies a lot so it's usually showing a link to the last flick i'm babbling about. and i didn't really notice that until recently so this week i thought i'd try some experimentation. yesterday i was thinking, "does a computer come up with those ads or what?" and i tried using the word "pussy" nineteen times in one post to see what would happen. i eagerly checked that banner ad today like it was fuckin' Christmas morning. and was there an ad for "pussy?" or at the very least, a link to an animal shelter? nope. so what's up? are there humans running blogger central and not the Hyperdyne 9000 like i thought? we'll see. i'll keep fighting the good fight though and if there is one lonely human sitting in front of a screen reading EVERYTHING and finding the appropriate advertising to match it, maybe that dude will fall asleep at the switch and finally link to an ad for "sphinct blasting."
