100 people killed in TJ in two weeks
Mis padres-in-law own a house in TJ, and my dear M is always trying to convince me to go. This is a bad neighborhood even by TJ standards, before the spike in violence. During my mother-in-law's last visit (they live state side) to her house involved finding a man in house across the dirt road who had been tortured. The neighbors called an ambulance to pick him, he refused, and was dead the next day. No fucking way are we going there anytime soon. When Mexican drug cartel killings are making the US news (even if it is on NPR)that means it's really fucking bad. Juarez has been getting a lot press too, but I haven't heard anything about mujeres de Juarez, which is much more shocking series of brutal murder, that seem to be carried out for just for sadism, that have been going on forever.
Anyway, I'm off track because I'm on valium. There is no fucking way I will be visiting M's TJ home, I don't care if they do have a concert wall shards of glass stuck in the top, we are soooo not going.

Doc. says I'm cured!
Well one of them. And by cured, he meant that we've finally got the med.s more or less right. The only side effect that I'm having, which I didn't even notice, was slightly slower heartbeat. I can't wait for my next physical, this time I'll be able to list on the many, many pills I'm taking. I feel like a real grown-up.

It's official!
Not only are in we (US) in recession, we've been in recession for a while. Our recession began last year! Does that mean it's no longer unpatriotic to say the ""r" word", as my fav conservative radio station would say? Probably not. Facts, smacts, who needs them when you've got subjective truth?
So we've been in recession for a year now, I actually feel a bit relieved. I actually managed to get, and keep, a job during a recession(so far, damn now I've jinxed it). Yay me!
Anyway here is the recession checklist in the style of a "are you depressed" questionnaire;
Have you experienced economic contraction? Check
Has this lasted for a few quarters or more? Check
Then you are in recession.
What horror movies have taught us
Don't do dumb shit, i.e. don't split up, in the dark, in the woods, hitchhiking, stealing small objects from museum collections. Basic Scout/ elementary school stuff.
An once of prevention is worth a pound of cure. If you knock your nemesis down, don't run away, jump on its neck, remove hands and feet, set it on fire, just make fucking kill it! And don't put you face next to its' to see if its still breathing.
If you notice that all the lights in your world are dim, or flickering, and that there are very few people around, leave. Go to fucking Denny's or something. But not the Denny's near my house, go the nicer crowded one down the street.
You all may have noticed a new trend, where virgins are not the only survivors of horror movies. But let's not chance it. If you should find your self stuck in a spooky cabin, with no outside communications, on the anniversary of a terrible event, don't do it. If you don't anger the monster/psycho watching you from inside the wall, at the very least it will you distracted, thus a vulnerable target. Same things goes for showers and sleeping. When an animal senses a predator, or that it might be time to visit the vet, that critter is not going to take a nap, or anything else, on the middle of the floor. They know better.
Cell phone suddenly out of network? Backtrack until it is in network again.
Be polite to the creepy. Not so polite that you're picking up hitchhikers (remember they taught us not to do that in elementary school and Scouts!), but you know, regular polite. This is a lesson also learned in fairy tales.
Run! Run like your life depends on it, 'cause it does.
Packin' heat. Things getting weird? Get a Saturday Night Special. Jus' saying that a girly punch is nowhere near as effective as causing a massive exit wound to slow down your tormentor. Bonus points if you tuck it in your pants, that way psychos don't realize the need to disarm you until its too late! Or, if you're like me, and can't aim, use a shotgun. Hopefully lugging something like that around will act as a deterrent. Or maybe a sawed off shotgun with a bulky coat...Please note that this method probably won't work too well on ghost( Nightmare on Elm St., The Haunting, 13 Ghost, etc. ) demons( Hellraiser), creatures that can only be killed by fire( The Thing, 1982 version of it)
This is sooo much easier to think about then the recession.

Zombies and how to prepare for them
If there is one thing that all children, preteens, teens and twenty-somethings worry about, it's about zombie attacks. I cannot walk in down the street without thinking of zombie escape routes. Things like, if I hop that fence will I be safe for a little while or will I only trap myself? I can't look at a apartment without thinking, "Are the walls in the apartment thick enough that zombies' couldn't just punch through them?"
I've recently added a new technique to zombie proofing repertoire after watching 28 Days Later, destroy the lower staircase! Everyone on the ground floor is already screwed with their easily accessible windows, they're already as good as un-dead. This keeps zombies from accessing the higher levels of the building, for us lucky tenants that dwell in the the upper echelons of survivor society. Unless of course the zombies are them new running, jumping acrobat style zombies.
I think that this might actually be a coping mechanisms for me. Instead a serenity prayer kind of thing, I distract myself my by preparing monster attacks. It can be quite time consuming.

My trip down the Yellow Brick Road...
or my first weekend using valium, a.k.a "Mother's Little Helper", a.k.a "Executive Excedrin." I don't get to take the name brand drug, I get the generic yellow pill, hence Yellow Brick Road. It doesn't help with depression, but it's great for the anxiety, kind of like drinking. Should it be putting me in a party mood? Should I care?
