Brand New Year

Welcome to 2011. The advent of a new year means new calendars. You read that right. Calendars. Plural.

When I was selecting my annual calendar purchases I found two that I really liked and I couldn't decide between them. So, I bought them both.

The first one is The Zombie Survival Guide page-a-day calendar. It's based on the New York Times best-seller of the same name by Max Brooks. From the back of the box:

There's no time to lose. It could happen at any moment. It may have already begun. Everyone must prepare for the zombie apocalypse. "Other monsters may threaten individual humans, but the living dead threaten the entire human race. Zombies are slate wipers," warns author Max Brooks.

Based on the best-selling book of the same name, this daily calendar provides on every page valuable information needed to survive a zombie outbreak: the most effective weapons, combat techniques, how to adapt in any situation, and so much more. Be vigilant. Zombie are coming, and they're hungry!

The second calendar I picked for this year is Jeopardy! page-a-day calendar.

It's time to play Jeopardy! Just like the hugely popular TV show, the Jeopardy! 2011 Calendar has a unique answer-and-question format. Each week features Jeopardy! and Double Jeopardy! categories with assigned "dollar" amounts and a Final Jeopardy! round where players can wage all or part of their "winnings."


I'm not sure what it says about me that I was drawn to a quiz show and the undead, and it's probably best not to dwell on it, but it should make for a fun year of posts!

awww YAY!

Zombie survival tips = Win!
Jeopardy trivia - fun, but not so useful post zombie-apocalypse, but good to have for the cocktail parties between now and then.

Can you combine to make it Zombie Jeopardy? Like, if you lose you have to fight your way out of a Zombie-filled pit, where they have freakin' lasers attached to their heads?

Or, maybe just the way you have it now.

I need a nap...

But who would host Zombie Jeopardy? And how long would they last?

Hmmm... I wonder what the categories would be. Brains? Braaaaains? Brain Food? Brainiacs? Brainpower?

ok I could totally geek out on the jeopardy calendar.

Since this year the CFO got the Dilbert calendar, I guess it's my turn for the demotivational calendar.

We sorta switch back and forth each year.

I'm soooper excited about the Zombie Survival Guide Calendar!!! Surviving is important for me!!! ... well... even though I know I'll be one of the first ones turned into a zombie. It's cool though. I'll survive until then... and then feast on braaaiiiins!

Oh honey, I think you would survive longer than most. You've got Rule #1 down pat.

And if you haven't done it yet, Zombieland is a must see.

What's Rule #1? I've seen parts of Zombieland.

brraaaaaiiiins!

The first rule of Zombieland is cardio, cardio, cardio.

Damn. Now I want to watch it again.
