There is no Gerri, only Zuul

Dreamt that I was helping Robin Williams run a little artsy movie theater.  The new owners wanted to fire him, so I was trying to get a petition going with the customers to keep him on.

Today the allergies be driving the meat sack.  Which I guess is better then when the nonexistent pants drive.  Funny how when your brain is fuzzy, it feels like you take a backseat in the logic dept.  Like when you get drunk.  Your consciousness is sitting there, waaaaaaaaaay in the back of your head while the meat sack stumbles around trying to function.  Is this what it feels like to be a zombie?

Maybe a Marvel Zombie?

If I was a zombie, and I was lurching around the mall, would my old impulses propel me toward the Cinnabon?  And is a zombie really the poor man's vampire?  That definition seems a little too convenient.  Simon Pegg made an astute observation about the nature of the shambling zombie (as opposed to the running zombie) as being the inexorable forward movement of death.

While both zombies and vampires find their roots in the fear of infection, invasion, and good ole fashioned xenophobia, the vampire has a malicious quality that the zombie does not.  Vampires (at least the non sparkly kind or those who don't love petite blondes (Angel, Moonlight, TrueBlood)) are cruel, predatory, cunning.  Zombies are impassive, base savagery, smothering you with the sheer weight of their numbers.

Zuul will contemplate this further while she sneezes out her guts.  Thoughts?

zombies, dream
