World war Z finally got into the library! I've only just started reading it, though. The prose seems a little clunky so far, but dude - zombies! It also reminded me that I promised to write amusing zombie contingency plans and I didn't. Sadly it's too late for Sydney Girls High School - that's okay, though, it wasn't a very defensible position in the first place. Too open on the Lowers side, which is a pity because the front of the school was very promising with the big gate and the tiny doors and steps, very solid. But the zombies could easily just go round the back and there's no way to keep them out of the music wing, and probably not the art rooms, either. If any SGHS student is reading this - your best bet for survival is probably the old projection room above the Campbell Hall. It used to be accessible via a door which renovation has now placed about two metres above the ground in Computer Room Four. They painted over it, but I'm sure you could pick the lock - just barricade it and stay very, very quiet until the zombie horde moves on. There's no way an idle zombie can climb up there and if you don't call attention to yourselves you probably won't attract too many of them. If you do have time, I'd reccommend running away, or at the very least enlisting a science teacher with a homemade flamethrower. You know they want to.

Anyway, I will write a contingency plan for my house, presumably the uni when I am more accustomed to it, and today I thought - hey, why not the gym? Who knows where I'll be when the zombies attack!? Today was Fun With Weights day, a new riff on Fun With Poles Day. I daydreamed about building a pulley-lever-wheely-robot-thing using the weights, the poles, the stretchy thera-bands and the Ab Master. The gym is up a narrow flight of stairs, it's actually pretty defensible. Be Prepared!
