Top Five List
The Top Five List for Saturday this week is Top Five Bands that have recently been in my CD player. By the way, when did I get outdated by saying "in my CD player" as opposed to "on my playlist?" I feel like that guy who still plays vinal records and swears that they sound better - and by better he really means worse.
My Top 5 (in no particular order)
1. R.E.M
2. The Clash
3. Wilco
4. A Tribe Called Quest
5. Wheat (they only have 3 albums and they've since broken up but they were great)
So what are your Top Five?

Things I Like
This is a list of the things that have gotten me through the day at one point in time or another. It is not meant to be comprehensive or in any discernable order.
1. The Simpsons episodes whenever the rich Texas oilman is involved.
2. The 4 dogs that I’ve ever been caretaker for.
3. The game “Mafia.”
4. The comic book series “The Flash” when Mark Waid was the writer.
5. Debating politics with my friend John (it often results in him calling me a commie and me calling him a racist).
6. Pizza Shuttle. For those of you who do not have a Pizza Shuttle in your town, you have my sympathies.
7. A fine cigar and a gourmet dinner.
8. December 2006.
9. My girlfriend. Even though I know she reads this, I’d put this on here anyway.

Zombie Fear!
I’m glad to finally be among those clever and fortunate enough to talk about their bowel movements with the whole world! At last I have arrived! As an upfront disclaimer, I apologize in advance for diminishing the integrity of the internet with my ramblings. Here we go!
Ever since its cinematic release in 2004, I have loved “Shaun of the Dead.” I think it’s because every time I watch it, I look around the house/office/hotel room/car to see what objects I’d use to destroy Zombies should they ever decide to attack. A little side note, according to this interpretation of the limits of Zombies, this can be done by either “removing the head or destroying the brain.” Presumably, one can destroy the brain by pummeling a zombie with a blunt object in the cranial region. So there are the ground rules.
The 3 most useful items I decided on around my house were:
1) An Axe – possibly the most efficient object, it can be used to either cut off a head or bash in the head
2) A Sword - useful because you could decapitate the zombies.
3) A Scythe – possibly the least useful item of the three. It is designed to cut low, enabling one to only really attack the zombie’s feet.
Additionally, there are other items like a shovel, big kitchen knives, and a plumbers wrench that would be backups. So I feel pretty well secured should the zombies realize their power and decide to attack.
But here’s the rub. My roommate owns the top two weapons. Now for those of you not in the know (and how dare you not keep yourselves abreast of my personal dilemmas) my roommate and I have not been getting along as well as possible lately. It starts with him owing me a considerable sum of money and the fact that I don’t pick up after myself as well as I should, but basically, we don’t talk anymore. I’m sure the fact that neither of us can deal with our problems like rational human beings. And it’s been this way for so long, I don’t remember why it was we were friends in the first place. Now, many of my friends have weighed in on many sides of the roommate debate, everywhere from, “kick him out now,” to, “you should have kicked him out by now,” to, “why haven’t you kicked him out yet?” and they all bring up valid points. But I (perhaps foolishly) keep thinking that the friendship can be recaptured. Maybe I'm just hoping that I won't have to give up the top two zombie weapons.
