I knew this day would come, but I was really hoping it'd be zombie bunnies, not humans. They're so fluffy and cute! Who'd be afraid of a widdle bunny?

Ok, ok, it probably WASN'T a real zombie attack, but still, this news report out of Miami is pretty horrifying! (Gawker)

In honor of Arrested Development's imminent return to my television, I am cross-stitching The Family Love Sampler from STEOTCH for MetricJenn. Also because she bought me the pattern. SPLITTING HAIRS, PEOPLE.

Miss Piggy has always been a fashion icon for her porcine-admiring fans. The Fug Girls take a look at the Pork Diva's style evolution.

Oh, ThinkGeek, maybe you could send me this 8-Bit LED Holiday Wreath to review? Pretty please??

The Batman and Bane. I just picked up Knightfall from the library yesterday so I could see what aspects of that storyline are in The Dark Knight when I see it.
